Re: Metaball Modeling
That's what i call time traveling :) and actually this feature is pretty cool. But since people use other more natural sculpting methods it was abandoned i guess.

Re: Seeking Low Poly/Faceted Style Advice
The main reason this style has become popular recently, is because lighting in game engines has finally become so good it can make a plain cube with a flat color look impressive through lighting alone.

Re: THQ shut down Kaos Studios
from personal experience, i can tell you that THQ corporate was not entirely liable for the downfall of Kaos. the only way corporate could be liable is that they trusted the studio heads and bought their bullshit. there has been a divide among general Kaos staff and the Kaos management for a long long time. majority of the… -
Re: Choosing a direction
"Now, I'd imagine making animations and showing off the models would be the first step in the right direction, obviously." Wrong, actually. Do you consider yourself a modeler?

Retopo of a dragon sculpt (beginner)
I made a dragon sculpt and I am now trying to make a retopo of it, intended for animation down the line. However while I made a lot of sculpts and still models, I do not have a lot of experience with medium poly character models.

Hi all! I'm currently working on a game taking place in part on an airship, and I've been wondering what's a good way to create high performance, "dynamic" sky environments? My searches have shown skyboxes + skydomes + HDRIs/cubemaps are a typical solid option, but I'm not sure about more in-your-face clouds as well as… -
