Re: Software choices + workflow advice (Maya user)
Out of interest, what's wrong with Mental Ray? I don't do much rendering myself, but it seems like you can get some very impressive results out of Mental Ray. I would at least spend some time messing around with settings and test renders in MR before shelling out any cash onto a different renderer just because it may… -
Re: [UDK] Stylized basement
There're something near 3 materials. First base-mat wich is mainly used for all assets. Second material for blending parts like bricks, tiles etc. (it's just like a base-mat but little optimized and with vertex blending). An the last one material with alpha for glass, lightbulbs and anything like that. I used… -
Re: The UK industry has little to no regard for university degree holders
Artist_in_a_box, there's one truth. Does the stuff in your portfolio look like the stuff in current games? The best thing to do is to start to work on a plan to expand on your portfolio. I am sure it must be very frustrating but a degree only matters if you need a visa. - for others, while you are doing your degree you… -
Re: "Adventure" game shows
I'd actually be interested to know more too. Aside from Hidden Temple, the others I remember are also from Nickelodeon: Double Dare, Nick Arcade, and GUTS. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but Double Dare and Nick Arcade both had an obstacle course the kids had to run through in the final round (Nick Arcade was… -
Re: organic rock UV seams
ya i used Mark Dygert method and it worked flawless, and you really find silo 2.2 that buggy, after a while of using it i found all the things that make it crash and instinctively do a incremental save first. (and i do the same thing in Max since i get just as many crashes in max 2011) and i really do like how fast it is… -
Re: "They Don't Want You"
I disagree. Even mediocre guys who know how to play social media and work the crowfunding sites can easily gain access to capital they need to move forward their career goals. Just look at some winners of Kickstarter for proof. Just look at who's making monthly mortgage payments via self-publishing on Amazon. Youtube… -
Re: First gun - Colt 1911
Hi dude, good model..but I think your map need more work, metal texture shouldn't be like that with random scratches all over the map..you should put it in the area with a lot of moving part like where the top part meet the gun body. I don't think your thumb can cause that much scratches around the handle. Btw, the 3rd map… -
Re: [Chivalry] Agata Vanguard Crusher
I haven't worked with Unreal3 recently but if I remember correctly, the engine completely recalculates surface tangents, bitangents and normals on import for dynamic models, basically resetting them to its own default state (likely for optimization purposes - don't quote me on this tho, I havent fully checked ...) What… -
Re: WIP Asian Street
Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions! I have reached the point where I am satisfied with the environment. I have included the final screenshots and a video. For some reason, the video didn't load all the way from my site, so I also uploaded one on youtube. I've created a material out of existing normals for the… -
Re: Why People Believe Americans Are Stupid
JO420 that was an interesting read, but I think part of the reason a lot of Americans don't care about the rest of the world is because they are to damn busy trying to survive in this country. If you don't have a decent paying job you don't really have the time to give a damn but that said I know plenty of people that do…
