Welcome! The Yawning Portal is a fictional tavern in the castle quarters of waterdeep, set in the world of forgotten realms. This tavern is unique because it has a 40ft wide by 140ft deep well in the middle that leads into the underdark where vast riches await the hungry adventurers. Playing d&d and wanting to find concept…
Greetings Polycount ! maybe you guys remember my indie title : "pirates of new horizons" that i am periodically pimping ( and shamelessly bumped mere minutes ago ^^). to help finance the development of the full game we made a small match3 casual game set in the same universe showing of some concept art for the full game.…
I returned mine, not for me Im afraid. The look of the non premium cars and some of the tracks really put me off. I put in alot of time today and yesterday on it and it does get better as you start to unlock the premium cars and the more interesting events become unlocked, but Ive seen far far superior visuals in multi…
Okay yesterday was a bit slower going since I'm still trying to figure out Maya, but I made the lanterns and the poles they hang from: @SergeyA My method for creating the textures and normals is still pretty all over the place since I'm still trying to find out what works best. I often use Substance Designer which is…
Hey Two. I think at the end of the day as a designer the sorts of decisions you make fall back on your own adventure. Your concept idea has been pretty much the same so I don't think that's drifted too far away (the only thing I can't tell right now is that it's powered by lightning) but your shape language has gone…
John: I think you're running into what I'd refer to as "Ale and Whores Syndrome". I love the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, and other pen and paper RPG's. I used to want to play with my friends, run campaigns even, or join someone else's. The problem was "Ale and Whores Syndrome". All the players wanted was to beat some…
Greenhouses creep me out, especially ones with dirty/broken windows, overgrown plants, and a door that has fallen off of 2 of the three hinges. Or maybe a screened in patio off the back door you have in the scene? Something to give you a tiny interesting peak at what may lay inside, but not give away the secret? I agree…
So, I'm done. Althought the throne room is very far away from my first idea and not exactly the way I wanted, but I'm still satisfied with it. So not much words needed, here you go: These are the beauty shots I'll sumbit. But for the WIP thread, I decided to add tow more. Just because I really like them: For those who…
I had the same problems, and here are a few things that helped me it under control. Perspective. Keep in mind what the end customer will see. Step back, zoom out and realize that not everything needs to be perfect, striking a balance between good enough and perfect is often the difference between delivering the customer is…
I actually despise the use of comparing video games to movies, in the sense of story development. Video Games are a completely different platform for story delivery, and are more comparable to books than movies. Here's my argument on this: I've never walked away from watching a movie and stated "I was in that story, that…
