Re: Backyard Style Environment
I think the milky look is coming not just from the textures, but also from the lighting. Im not sure how you're lighting it, but it looks to me like ambient occlusion ( dont kill me if its not ), either way, it looks like there is an overall blue ambient light lighting the entire scene, then the sun light is lit on top of… -
Re: Workflows for next-gen games assets
Im positive Im not the best qualified person to explain this, but I also come from an arch-viz background (AKA Fake 3d ;) ) so maybe I can help... What I have been doing is to model everything using edit poly (often on top of renderable splines) and then I slap a Turbosmooth modifier on top of everything. Then I add… -
Re: Gears of War - Impressions?
First off, congrats to the team of epic. Well done setting the bar. I hope I can get the game in my hands soon. However, I didnt own the game, just looked at the gametrailer vids. From the visual appreance, therefore I can tell: -The assets look really good -Gameplay looks solid. -Liked many of the locations displayed My… -
Re: Meta-Video-Gaming and you
i know what you mean! for example, i am currently playing GTA: Liberty City Stories, and while driving in the game I find it fun to actually adhere to the traffic laws (sometimes) stopping at red lights and such, of course when someone hits me or wrecks my car i hop out of mine and yank them out of their car, but i dont… -
Re: piracy in the videogame industry
I buy games from devs I respect. I rent everything else. I agree with JK to an extent. For example, as far as I can tell 3DS Max was successful for one reason only, and that is that it was easy to pirate. You simply can't expect people who are just learning to pay even $400 for the learning edition. Most people who can… -
Re: Apple isn't playing nice
Tom - Imagine for a minute that Apple Was indeed in favor of Flash being accessible in the ipad/pod/phone version of Safari. All they would need to do is implement an alternate navigation scheme allowing the touch screen to work as a mouse pointer, and maybe something like tap the upper-left corner to left click, and tap… -
Re: Applying to AAA a plus if already created games?
I think most replies here are in regards to game artist roles. In which case, having a completed indie game on your resume is slightly helpful. Uncompleted games aren't very helpful, they're more likely to be seen as inability to finish projects (regardless if it was caused by others). However if you're going for game… -
Re: Final year showreel for my undergraduate, feedback and crit.
I know a lot of people are saying about the phone numbers. However, I feel like in this day and age that a phone number doesn't matter as much as an email or a skype name. Especially if you are jumping between countries, it can be difficult to have a number that you would always be reached at (or at least that is my… -
Re: New attempt at some highpoly props
heya, my main crit would be that maybe you should have tried something a little more adventurous then a barrel that said i probably would have just mirrored the other side as you haven't made anything on the object particularly unique for example dents and scratches. As for the texture it is all very samey could the raised… -
Re: new characters that i'll definitely 100% finish... probably
looking great dude, love that jacket! A couple of things that caught my eye. The crease on his left leg, just below the jacket looks slightly out of place, whether it's because it looks a bit deep or if it's because there aren't any other subtle creases next too it I'm not sure. As for ole' capt'n Morgans face, I think the…
