Re: Am I wasting my time with a Games Art degree?
£30000+ seems a bit steep. You might want to shop around for a different uni, unless that one is top-notch. The biggest plus of going to uni is making friends and contacts, if the uni has very strong links with a number of companies and you really make the effort to become friends with the best students - then it could be… -
Re: Looking for an Apprenticeship
Some good advice. Contests are great, even if there aren't any going on or they just finished you can use them as a guide to get an idea and some technical specs to work off of. It can help beat back that big bully, the blank canvas. As glib as Luke is I think he makes a good point. It's probably better to study under a… -
Lighthouse project - help out a relative beginner with modeling best practices?
A little background: I started learning Maya around 3 months ago, while also having a full-time day job. It's been difficult to get enough time in, but I've been watching a ton of Digitaltutors videos and am really excited about pushing myself to new levels. I've done lots of bits and pieces, but not a full scene. I… -
Re: CRYSIS 3 - Character Art [IMAGE HEAVY]
Thanks! Got a top row at CGhub, nothing beats polycount help :D @Daves: Back in the days.. HL1 modding was great. @Fomori: Thanks! So many artists just focus on sculpting, but in the end, bad textures can ruin the best sculpt.. @Sauron: 1. Uv your highpoly 2. Bake light on your highpoly in the rendering package you know… -
Re: Moving to Seattle, need advice or roommate
ferg said it best. Though haiasi, Beacon Hill? I live here and it's boring; almost as boring as the east side near Bellevue and Redmond ( yea, I went there with the thread :b ). Awesome park though here that even has a skateboard section in it. I can't think of a single bus up here that goes east. You would have to take… -
Re: Tell me everythings gonna be ok...
I understand the need to look beyond limitation, and to use one's imagination to envision a certain world that would fit one's perspective the best. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Just that claiming in under 20 years we'll have a new type of system for the entire world; is simplistic. And as much as you… -
Re: Prince of Persia TTT Animation
I'd highly recommend going back and trying this again. You need to keep at peices that don't work to the point where you can't find anything new to learn. So delete all the keys and start again. Think of the momentum of the limbs and the arcs they generate on the reference. Notice how most of the big movements either flow… -
Re: Gears Workout
It's easy to eat healthy food that tastes great. Takes 10 minutes to make some delicious chicken breast and mixed veggies. And protein doesn't have to taste bad either. Yeah, there are a lot of bars that taste like wax, but there are some that are decent. I personally make my own protein shakes instead of bars, and they're… -
Re: waste of time?
[ QUOTE ] Maybe it's just me but I have a personal hate for games that have no brains in the interaction departemnt. If I hack something, I want to see that something affected. If something bashes me, I want my character to be affected accordingly. Not just stand there and do the same lame "hurt" anim. [/ QUOTE ] You have… -
Re: Trim Sheet help required !
This might be software or even viewport driver dependent, but at least in 3ds max, you'll always see the distortion of the individual underlying triangles (at least that was always my assumption and how I handled it). The main problem aside from the UV skewing is when the triangulation changes down the line. In this case,…
