Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
I think that another misconception about games is that technology completely dictates what happens in our industry. Sure Doom 3, HL2, and other hot titles did some pretty cool stuff. But guess what, there are more people playing CounterStrike (HL1 engine), Call of Duty (Quake 3 engine), and similar games right now than are… -
Re: Stupid commentaries about what you do.
Though I'm still a student, I've come across these issues when I try and tell people what I study: Guy: So what's your major? Me: Game Art and Design Guy: G..Gay Art? Me: VIDEO Game Art and Design I've learned to enunciate "Game" rather well when describing what I study. I take the Greyhound from time to time. Normally, I… -
Re: Unearthing 3D Environment Issues w/ Dr Dipsh*t
Great! Thanks for all of the feedback. When you opt to teach yourself, its all trial and error, which can be daunting, so I appreciate everyone chipping in. Joshua, You spoke of unreal/torque etc. being free packages. Are they available via the web or must I purchase the corresponding game as Alex had mentioned? I have an… -
Re: Portfolio Review
Looks like you have good modeling, lighting and texturing skills. It doesn't look like you have anything game rez / rendered in engine? You should definitely show a project rendered in engine along with some technical breakdowns (wireframes, texture sheets, etc...). I'd remove the dragonfly, ark and alien robot walker… -
Re: Recommended modeling tools
That is a very hard question to answer because there are a lot of tools out there that can do what you ask for. It also depends on what source engine you are going to export the models to. Typically you will find that the industry are keen towards Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya for games development, so often these tools have… -
Re: What Rendering software do you recommend?
Cycles materials are compatible with the new viewport real time engine Eevee. Eevee will be a free Marmoset Toolbag directly available in your 3D software so there will be no need to use anything else, it will only be counter productive. This is rendered from viewport of Blender: https://youtu.be/nxrwx7nmS5A Tutorial:… -
Re: Substance Painter vs Quixel Suite 2.0
I've used them both. My preference is Substance Designer / Painter. Yes, there is a learning curve to both the programs. A lot more so with Substance Designer. However, once you get the hang of it, it's way more flexible and far reaching than Quixel. A lot of the off the shelf engines also allow you to plug your substances… -
Re: Breakdown of SciFi Cylinder tunnel.
@ Bigfrost: Not really, it was a pain to set up for sure, but when i got the pipeline to work it was quite easy, adding new objects to the scene was just a matter of having a reference file that had the basic export stuff set up and using that to position and hook up the models i wanted to put into the engine. CDK does… -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
It never used to be illegal and there were civil copyright cases that found that reverse engineering was okay. But since DMCA reverse engineering is more restricted and potentially illegal (as in, not just get sued but perhaps go to jail). You're allowed to reverse engineer but they basically only allow it so you can get… -
Re: |CE3] Amir's Arenanet environment test
Its stated several times in the cryengine wiki, not sure what exactly is the problem but also, when my client (crytek) tells me not to use non square textures and uses 2 seperate maps instead because it runs better in their engine, i accept that and deliver as asked without caring too much about the limitations. I do know…
