Re: Neal Stephenson heads company developing sword fighting middleware.
Perhaps middle ware isn't the right term. What they're working towards is a peripheral that can be used to accurately simulate sword combat and then releasing the software that drives it as open source, thereby presumably extending the shelf life beyond the likes of other peripheral driven games like Donkey Konga or even… -
Re: Veterans and Aspiring: What does your dream Game Art degree look like?
I agree with this especially if you have to pay for those unwanted classes. Having said that, a degree won't be a real degree unless those types of classes are included in your program. Universities follow accreditation standards so a common requirement in their bachelor programs include courses outside of the specific… -
Re: Rob Stephens Environment Artist Portfolio Pimp
You're not getting any depth on your normal map on the pillar in the train station. All of your edges are sharp, so even though you have tiles popping out and in, it isn't showing in the final result.

Theres a lot written about Crom, he teaches his people to deal… -

Re: Using Quixel for portfolio work?
I don't know about Mixer but for the Megascans thing i don't see anything wrong. For some years now, companies have been using scans in both games and film. It makes sense after all. Photo realistic results, minum time and at the end of the day a tree is a tree and a rock is a rock so why should i sit down for hours to… -
Re: [CE3] Weasel Hideout

Re: Battlefront's Level Construction - how can everything just sort of match and blend?
They have a couple of tricks here for sure Notice the world space terrain material on the mesh? on the bottom? if you skim through the video a bit you can see the exact same material used as part of the terrain as well next up we have detail maps, check this out when he scales the rock, the small stones and what not are… -
