Re: First ever Game Designer job interview on Tuesday - Advice needed!
I had to interview a game designer once and one question I asked was "So what do you think of our website?". I ask that question because I want to see how informed the person I interview is. Did they do their research before they showed up? Are they aware of the kind of games we make? and etc. Do your research. As a game… -
Re: Art subject choices: fictional vs existing
But isn't "filling in the blanks" on a loose concept also digging up a ton of photo reference, but then just picking the strongest and most interesting parts ? That last part being where the studying of existing objects pays off. That's what I did when i was told to model something vague without even a concept. Granted,… -
Re: Old Newspaper Machine prop
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I did go a little heavy handed with of the micro detailing and added more wear than was in the reference. I actually have a question I ran into after I started this thread regarding that. One thing I'm not sure about with substance painter is the normal map. Even after all the detailing,… -
SOLVED: DDO doesn't create albedo + 3DO artifacts on launch
Currently, when I try to load my new project into DDO, I get shown a blank (grey) albedo. I can't seem to add anything to it, and when I try to load 3DO, it immediately artifacts and doesn't display my model. I've had numerous problems with the Suite since I started using it last year, and none of the workarounds I usually… -
Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
I'm sure most of us have a story or 2 to tell. My bad experiences were related to employers. Blank promises, use guilt as mean to prevent me from changing jobs, etc etc you know the gist :D Every thing else however has been pretty carefree. For 8 years I rarely had any heated arguments among co-workers and made a few close… -
Re: Solved: 3Do Hidden "Alert Window"?
I happened to fix it, thank you. I updated my graphics driver, which then forced me to restart my computer. After that, everything ran smoothly. So, one of those 2 things (or both the driver update and restart) fixed the issue. I did post in the live support group, but didn't post my own comment (only posted as a reply to… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
When I checked out your site and hit "work samples", the page went blank... I eventually found the menu change at the top of the screen and found your work... but damn. Nine out of ten art directors/leads would have instantly closed your site when the page went blank. Your website is probably why you're not getting jobs,… -
Re: Whatever you do, don't model the Enterprise
In the land of creative design and concepts having a portfolio of fan art is a death sentence so I guess there is some truth to it but I'm not sure it translates all that well to modeling for games. If you are hired to be creative and design something the world has never seen before, Feng Zhu style. Then they aren't… -
Re: Outliner 2.0 - Scene management tool for 3ds Max
I've run into a few minor bugs. Bug #1 When merging 3dsmax files, it seems to un-nest all of the layers and not carry over any blank layers? Left: Before merger. Right: After. Everything on the right was nested in "Mason" which had no objects assigned to it but did contain layers that had other nested layers and objects.… -
Re: street fighter fouwar, bitches
They have it at the Circuit Circus in Burnaby (formerly Lesters). I was VERY much anticipating it, but when I finally played it (10 matches), I realised how garbage it actually is. It's closer to Street Fighter EX than any of the 2D ones. The general character controls just seem off, everything kind of seems 'floaty'. It…
