Re: A Stackoverflow for artists!
Sounds like a good idea. Having some sort of an upvoting system for answers could also prevent users from receiving possible misinformation, as that would probably get downvoted or corrected quickly. -
Re: The problem with the gaming industry is that developers make too much
I think it was right to give this article attention initially. It's that kind of dribble that will carry, and build, to the point that it gets repeated by those who don't know the truth. It's best to stop this misinformation at the start. That being said, the article has been crushed to dust, and I agree, there is no… -
Re: Autodesks 2015
MM, it seems like your problems with max boil down to: 1) Max's transform doesn't behave exactly like maya. 2) Soft select isn't a fully fleshed out brush based feature (in the UVW editor). 3) It lacks a smudge brush (in the UVW editor). RE 1) Max Transform: Well... It's not Maya. It has the same nutritional value, just a… -
Re: Building a new computer, need some tips.
Please don't spread misinformation. Zbrush actually doesn't use your GPU at all, which is why it runs so passably on average computers compared to most tools of the trade. For Zbrush you'll therefore get more benefit from a stronger CPU, and it generally even benefits from having more cores available as the sculpting… -
Re: Quixel Suite - GDC 2015 goodies (to see, not touch)
I don't want to get into a petty argument over this, so this will be the last I say on the matter. But frankly, what a company does with it's time is not really any of your business. In fact from what I have read, the reason for such delays is that the only programmer, teddy, has been training a second programmer how to… -
Re: Texture resolution in modern games.
Your friend is highly misinformed. Large textures take up huge resources. 16k hogs memory even when loaded to an offline renderer, never mind real-time! Renderers like Vray have tricks to combat the amount of memory consumed by many large texture maps. And substances are coded to leave a much reduced footprint. So for now,… -
Re: warhammer collectors please help:
In the interests of not spreading misinformation I had a poke about while I was procrastinating from school work. Didn't find anything particularly useful, but there are a bunch of youtube videos of people putting together Warhammer models which might be a good bet if you really feel like you can't ust extrapolate from… -
Re: Penn on Gaming
I understand that, my point is that arbitrarily assigning credentials to a person and placing those credentials before the argument is ad hominem. It's putting the emphasis on the person, not the argument. It's also not useful. There are many examples of people who don't have traditional "credentials", but are well… -
Re: [Portfolio] Jason Hutchins, Environment Artist
Wow, this site is all around bad news. Delete this. Don't make flash portfolios. Just make a simple thumbnail gallery in html. Images take forever to load, can't be saved The font on the buttons on the side is blurry and illegible. Spend time on YOUR ART not your web site. just a simple image gallery. It's unfortunate that… -
Re: CryEngine is Finally Back ! :D
I suppose the question is whether or not this is clearly stated anywhere in the Crydev docs ... If yes, problem solved ! On a side note, knowing that the industry is slowly progressing towards an accepted standard for TS normals is such a relief. It's kind of crazy to think that it took about 10 years to get there, with a…
