Alright guys, I need your wisdom :) I've been working on baking this over the past few days, and I've reached some smoothing issues pretty early on. I'm hoping with the aid of the pictures i have here (from UE3) we can figure out whats going on. Under the impression someone will link the thread anyway, Quoted from the hard…
How is alienating over half of the US, EU, JP and AUS a good idea? Especially when you have services like Comcast in place? How many more copies of a game will you be able to sell with that attitude? Not everyone who ones a certain hardware will be buying your game mind you. What about Data-Caps? Canada still has them in…
Thanks, it's a mix usually. I tend to work a a lot with photos first, to get a quick base and then go in and handpaint masks like scratches and rust and stuff, I also try and add subtle gradients wherever I can to add a bit of depth, but have to be careful with that depending on how the texture is supposed to tile. Other…
Sorry if I'm venting a little bit here. Even though I'm mainly a lurker I love this community and can't really talk to my other friends about my specific issue here since they don't understand much about the industry. I've been working on various projects with this one dude for over 3 years now. He would code and I would…
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough about the seniority requirement. What I actually meant by that is, When getting hired as a junior weapon artist, they don't allow the junior to be rather flexible.

The product calendar referenced a title known as 'Titan', due for a 2013 release. Said Pearce to…
Thank you for your responses everyone! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here... I've been really busy recently and forgot to get back to the thread. To clarify a little, I'm not some silly kid who randomly decided to live the dream of making games just because I play them. I do have prior background in art and was…
Skimmed through this thread, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating what someone already said... Get the hell out of your house. All that will happen is you will sit in a dark room and brood and have negative thoughts in your head. Before I came to school, I was pretty depressed also (pathetically depressed; hey, we've all been…
I'm black and my younger self would be the kind of dude to ask this question...but frankly..what does it matter?? The fact that there are other blacks (or people from your culture social background) shoould not influence in any way you're attraction to a medium (even though, socially, it's proven it does). These kind of…
