Re: Killshot animation
If you haven't done this already, take something weighty in one hand (Like a pair of long metal cutters, 5-10 pounds about) and do a dash, while your being filmed. Do the Kill Move if you can also, but see if you can incorporate any nuances you notice and feel when running with something heavy in one hand. Something that… -
Re: Low Poly - Stylised Modelling Workflow
Yep, you’ve got it. Although the old way of painting directly over your low-poly is still alive and well- it looks like all of your examples were painted that way. There are some artists at big studios (Riot, Blizzard) that will go to the effort of making sculpts just for the AO bake, but it’s still a luxury, not the… -
Re: Struggling to break into the industry? Is your folio helping you?
Instead of a demo reel, make assets and sell them. Instantly, you will: - have a source of income and be a part of the games industry - prove your work has real value to a potential employer - get critique and feedback from actual paying customers - learn what sells and what doesn't sell in the games industry - get PAID to… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
Ptex does bring to many problems. For me the biggest issue would be you cant share textures across objects. Everthing needs a unique texture. LODs cant share Textures one Polyobject = one Ptex Seconde one would be you arnt allowed to change the vertexorder. If the Artdirection changes and you need to change the Geo you… -
Re: limit your job hunt to AAA at your own risk
Justin: Totally agree - there's so many studios out there. People who limit themselves to the common household names of studios limit themselves. If people know the studio or the games we make doesn't matter to me that much. I think you can create awesome artwork everywhere and you can try to give your best everywhere as… -
Re: So how bad is the job situation in the industry right now?
well... there's pretty serious competition for jobs at most of the top companies, i've seen many people say stuff like "oh unless i'm working for epic or blizzard its not worth my time" but thats exactly the type of attitude thats not going to get you anywhere, you have to be open to opportunities and apply everywhere,… -

Re: Cinematics Artist
Blur's guys are still pretty much generalists, they have the character modelers do modeling, sculpting, UV, textures and even shaders + hair. Their scene assemblers do layout, lighting, compositing and sometimes even some animation as far as I know. Blizzard used to have generalists too, back with War3 they even had… -
Re: Diablo III Gem Mine (next gen)
Going to mess with these a bit more in the next day or two. If it looks orange I'll be fixing that. I just got a new monitor and haven't had a chance to color correct it yet so that may be a bit off. In response to Vig, I'm sure I'm going to get crap for this but I was never trying to match the hand painted Blizzard… -
Re: EA employee's spouse comments on crunch
It's like any other type buisness . If EA starts losing top talent because of the way they run there buisness they will change . It seems odd to me though that if it is so bad there why so many film people have started to flock there . I guess doing 70-80 hr weeks for a steady,good paying,somewhat reliable employer is…
