Re: In desparate need of words of encouragement and advice
I'm still checking this thread whenever someone chips in, so to those who have recently - thank you. The advice and similar stories being shared are very welcome. :) You have no idea how right you are. We already know he's a narcissist. He was very recently drinking whiskey (Jack Daniels to be exact), which made him all… -
Re: Need help- how much to rate this for the client
hey guys... after sending to them my sculpts i just got the actual project to see. And yea, Pior, you're right.....i got one of their characters sculpted for their first fully CG film and it's a sci-fi story (low poly,mid poly,high poly meshes). And it's posed with arms down still in symmetry. They want clean T pose so… -
Re: The Road Locomotive
https://youtu.be/s1A5wVVD0rM Got the driveshafts figured out. At the most extreme possible angle the bolts do clip a little, but i can't imagine a condition where it would be turning hard under power at full suspension extension unless it was about to roll over, but at that point i imagine some gouged half shafts are the… -
Re: What do I want to be when I grow up?
I don't feel experienced enough to comment on the art side of things, your stuff looks fantastic to me and I wish you the best of luck. What I will advise however is that you think very very carefully before heading in the music direction (if that's even something you've considered). I played guitar for 14 years,… -
Re: 3d artists - out of a job in the future?
Not to sound like an old fart, but I remember back in 2000 they were talking about how photo-scans made texture artists completely redundant. Then producers started telling us that Turbo Squid was the future, and that one day MMO's would be made by 5 designers, and a bunch of bought models. In 2005, we were told procedural… -
Re: Arrrr, the piracy poll!
I think I tried to pirate a couple games a decade or so ago (when I was ~14, 15) due to not having any money to buy games. I'm pretty sure one of the gave me a virus and I needed to reformat, and the other one I could never get working. Being older and having income, there's simply no point. Even if I don't have the money… -
Re: 'Futureworks' uni experiences
Some info for other students thinking of going to uni in the UK. I had a phone interview and the guy I was speaking to told me how all the tutors have industry experience, one of the tutors has 14 years experience and is a director of his own studio which runs out of the facilities, of which he hires students to do… -
Re: Zombie Playground-Jason Chan-Kickstarter
It's not the game its the reaction to it and the general fawning over new projects without any care to think critically at all around here. Pent up frustration over a lack of discussion about games and their design in general, all the while studios continually get fucked up the arse and we have the same people that have… -
Re: My First Piece on Polycount
I'll add a bit though fletch covered it pretty well. Obviously it's going to be hard to fit a circle and a rectangle into a square tex and use the space good. So for that object it might be best just to use 2 textures. One for lid and one for the can. You could save 1/4 of the tex space even though you'd add a draw call.… -
Re: gaming habits
Ok, kinda taking my words out of context...didn't really say it like that. I was simply stating what works for me as others do when a thread like this pops up - offer advice based on their own experience. I don't really get what part of that seemed like "just do this and you'll be fine" ? I've struggled with game addiction…
