Re: Some art test, need feedback...
Hey dude, I thought I would give you the heads up as you said this was an art test. UV layout is massively important, the smaller your textures and the more fidelity you have the less stress it has on texture streaming. Consoles will generally stream at 1000kb/s-1500kb/s (depending on how the engine manages its memory)… -
Re: John Valenti (Environment Artist) Portfolio
Had to run from work in the last post, sorry about that :P So yeah, if you can work on the indie project, go ahead. But don't stress you work, it's better to put a lot of time, planing and effort in every single object you do then just do alot of objects in the shortest possible way. In the beginning anyway. As mentioned,… -
Re: Why do you like Macs?
did you actually read what I wrote? but maybe you live next to a fully stocked PC mall which has every component you could ever want (good job assuming that everyone else does so too) and maybe you're really good with a screwdriver. But if it were that easy, why do people keep asking for help on PC? Why do our studios not… -
Re: Gears of War PSP Character
mikezoo: Good question, but honestly I don't know. Like I said in the beginning of the thread, this is my first time doing a really low poly character like this. I actually figured out what the proper tri counts and the texture sizes should be by looking at Genz's work on cgsociety.org :… -
Re: Culture and Crunch
I can't speak for anyone but myself. I've worked at the same studio for almost 5 years and lived through several 'mass' layoffs ( and by that I mean, arranged, arrive in the morning, cops outside just incase, upstairs various people ushered into a room and handed cardboard boxes ) and never once did I go 'oh wow, they… -
Re: What's up at Infinity Ward...?
@Fuse I dont want to seem like an arse here so please dont take this the wrong way. :) You are correct that i am distinguishing between royalty payments and a bonus as by definition they are quite different, though they both result in a cheque. (which is what really matters) Royalties "Compensation for the use of property,… -

Re: diffuse, specular, normal maps all the time!?
[ QUOTE ] what the industry needs is to create texture compilers or something where artists create textures in super high res at 64bit float per channel (or something high) and some scripts add, subtract, multiply divide, etc numbers and other textures to them and basically do brightness contrast and gamma adjustments or… -
Re: Scifi Slum - Artstation Challenge
Hahaa yeah I though about that, but the deadline is next week, so it is do-able but it going to be a stressy week. But you could be right, I have asked other people about this, and even asked myself this that the current composition is fighting the story a bit... I might give it a try in a new scene. Thanks! -
Importance of mentorship for starting out in game art?
Hey all, I'm a 3D artist who'll be graduating from uni soon, and the search for my first job has me extremely stressed. I'm in the boat where I feel like I'm doing everything on my own, from deciding what to learn, what to work on, where to apply, how to setup my portfolio, how to market myself etc etc. I really want to…
