Re: Next gen car - questions
Normalmaps really aren't an option when you want perfect reflections on your car body. Reflections are what it's all about, hence Mlichy's example of the warthog ( reflections aren't very important for that one). It's just not viable to try and attain perfect reflections with normalmaps since you'd need something like… -
Re: [UDK] Abandoned building interior.
It's looking really nice. I halfway expected the lights to all flicker off at 1:16 and the TV to turn on. Did you know you can render out the video sequence in stills instead of using video capture software? I noticed at 0:15 your cursor flies by lol. I didn't know if you just did it that way for speed sake or not. Anyways… -
Re: Tax Credit Sends UK Game Industry On Hiring Spree?
This has traditionally been the case with the UK games sector though - with most of the studios (and most of the employees) working on and putting out "middle-tier" titles.

Re: AXON RUNNERS is out, Give it a look!

Re: How to make POM not so heavy?
Thats insane. Also, I'm assuming, you use it with world coordinates, because its a decal. Would you mind showing some screenshots? I can't really imagine what would require 100 steps. Maybe you should do some adjustments to the shapes in your texture, make them less steep, so you dont need that many steps. An ideal step… -
Re: Archviz Imagery critique.
the lighting is very overblown killing all the detail, id tone that down a bit your composition is just not nice, which is the main problem Why is the house just cut off at the right ? Think a bit how you want to take this picture Leave it some space. Your image format is also very strange, use 16:9 The hill with the tree… -

Re: 'Splosions & effects - a vfx artist's tale
Thanks for hosting the class! It was a lot of fun and I learned a ton of awesome stuff. Unfortunately since the Sunday following that class I've been working 16 hour days to push out a bunch of shots for an upcoming show. My goal for this coming year is to get some assets into a game in one form or another. Saturday's… -
