Those links don't work for me - try re-pasting them? I've never heard of anyone using 12k maps before (I assume you mean 12288 x 12288 pixels? That's 12x1024 which seems like a very odd number...), where did you hear about this? The way Unreal Tournament and Gears of War do it, apart from having high-res source textures…
It's pretty easy to tell class work from work made geared to get you a job in the industry. The biggest give away is the quality and this is usually the result of the stupid deadlines given by professors who just want the class to produce volumes of work instead of quality. In my case I usually had to produce 10 to 15…
I would disagree about gameplay being the most important aspect of a game. Mainly because I have yet to see a satisfying definition of what the gameplay actually is. In some cases, "story" or "narrative" of a game could be easily labelled as gameplay. In fact, there are many types of games, in which "gameplay" is almost…

Ahh don't give up Scott... i remember the old days when i was still learning and trying and you were out here showing us (at that time still) youngsters how it's done. (Im feeling pretty old right now) Next Gen is nothing, it's like a 'NEW AND IMPROVED' sticker on the same old dishwasher. Most games throw in normalmaps and…
Really appreciate the comments guys thanks, and yes you are indeed correct, it does look like he shit his pants. The actual idea was for him to be wearing overalls and them rolled up at the waist, overalls usually sag a fair bit around the ass/crotch when they're like that. But I just ended up making it look like he is…
A few things that can affect the decision. 1... Silhouette. More pieces generally means higher polygon count, though it can help you with a better silhouette than just a single manifold. But usually all the items are a part of the same mesh, it's one entity, just made of unconnected pieces. Make sense? 2... Customization.…
Well Modular usually just means peices that can be reused anywhere. Making unique Geo and then just splitting it up isn't very helpful. For example. On the front facing wall you have 4 window thingys, one of those sections could be broken up and then you just tile it four times and that wall peice could be used elsewhere.…
Hi all, So i am getting these weird maps when baking, and I´d like to know, if anyone knows why this usually happens? It is an ambient occ map and a defuse map btw.
It had been a while! In between the arrival of the new puppy as well as the many job changes recently I struggled finding time to sit down and paint. But Peco (my new dog) played the muse for me as I attempted to draw and paint him. Drawing is definitely not one of my strong skill but I'm glad I gave it a shot and made…
