Placeholder Character in Polished Level?
I am working on my portfolio to become a level designer. Current goal: To create a single-player level that captures the essence of Dark Souls and teaches the mechanics to the player without creating a carbon copy of their level design. Question: Would it be unwise to have a placeholder-looking character in a polished… -
UDK: Pirate Island Level
Hello! My latest assignment is to create a playable level in UDK. Over the past 3ish weeks I've been doodling ideas and research and now I've started to put things into UDK to try and make the level function properly before adding any textures. Here's a very blocky version of what I have so far. The level is set on a very… -
iTV
I'm a long time fan of widescreen TVs and boxes to plug them into (digital tv decoders, divx players etc) owning a KiSS player many years back that I could hook up to the network. That's why I'm really excited about the iTV box from apple coming out later this year, at first I thought it was a TiVo clone but it appears… -
Re: Whisper of the Heart's Atelier
I decided to start with my hero asset so I can use it as a kind of quality bar. This model had me more focused on topology with a lot of surprise ngons or pinching issues. My polycount is at 13k when smoothed and combined though that's without the final details of the scroll and the violin strings. Also need to replace the… -
UE4 - Alien Enviroment
Hey people! I'm pretty new to this, usually I do concept art but I wanted to make a small exploration horror game and it's environment before my next concept art classes start. What I'm really trying to focus on is visual design, and having it help the player explore the level and learn about the story. 1. Player start 2.… -

Re: does microsoft hate firefox?
I have my own axe to grind with Apple over quicktime. I bought windows quicktime version 6.5, and now the free version 7 player is out. So, I can't watch any new content on the free player 'cos as soon as I install it it will invalidate my PAID FOR license. Well done Apple. Couldn't they just code in the new free player so… -
Re: UT3 Level Design
It does matter in a manner of speaking but the common denominator for MP levels is the *flow*, regardless as to the design or what's in them. Bad maps have a certain awkwardness to them that's due to all sorts of reasons, but the net result is that they all cause problems in relation to how easy the player can move through… -
Re: Evercrack...er...Everquest 2
Actually, I think a good reason why the player models look so bad in EQ is not because ofthe skill of the modellers, but because of the limitations placed on them, to make slider-based modifications of the features possible. so the models need to start with a certain, "blandness" to them, allowing some customization, but… -
Re: Info: going rate for 1,500 tri model+texture
Did you give them more information beyond what was in that post? What was given wasn't really enough to bid on with confidence. I work more in the AAA space, but to give you an example, this is the type of info I give out in briefs to outsourcers: Software (Maya 2012, 3DSMAX 2013) Polycount (1500 tris) Texture count,…
