Well there are some schools here in Sweden doing it right. The schools that are good work closely with game companies, up to date tech, simulate as close as possible the work environment of being in a team and creating a game. By having companies help out with the curriculum they have a chance to make sure what the…
Just install Win7 later on (the upgrade process is pretty painless, follow the instructions on the screen type painless) and disable Aero. If he asks you anything, just tell him you were forced to update, because recently, Autodesk released a Hotfix for Maya/Max and Mudbox to take out a bug which caused a corruption of the…
That's a fair point, sorry about that. I'll be putting it in UDK later in the year. The idea is that the player will start at the end of the jetty on the frozen lake, go into the hut, sit in/on a bed then leave and it will be the desert island outside. In terms of assets in the scene I will have a bed, bookcase, table and…
That looks spot-on to me :) Only thing I notice (on the side view) is the thickness of the main metal plating which could be reduced, but this can very well be adjusted in the lowpoly post-bake therefore that does not worry me at all. As for the overall weathering, it might indeed be wise to bake the two versions (one all…
lol at first i was like wtf this ain't Lex! lex is bald. I'm sure later he will be the lex that we know but right now they wanna do what they want and make a good origin type or w/e. I actually like it. But then again i don't hate anything really lol. but yea loving the dual personality of Lex. One is an obvious modern…
i disagree if the clothing will be on top of the body. hell yes make it match the body topology as good as possible. Otherwise you'll fight clipping all day when skinning/animating your character. If the body underneath doesn't exist animator, you would still want to use a similar topology just to make sure your skinned…
Hey guys little update, i thought i just post up what iv got so far so every one can see the little progress i am making. I'm almost done with the assets, got playing cards to make and and some trays for lunch. Doing the vents and fan systems right now as i post. Anyhow below is the progress. I will be texturing Soon as…
oh of course, sorry I didn't mean never register a domain, I meant that registering one isn't a necessity out the gate if you're still a student and applying for internships. And as far as updating a portfolio goes, personally I'd rather spend some time early on finding or creating a robust system that makes it super easy…
@lotet thanks! yeah might increase the contrast a little bit, better to start out low I guess. I'm trying to go for faf's kinda style. The rocks look a little too "manmade" I guess. They don't look very unatural, but for now I'll leave it like this (I would probably redo the textue at some later date). But I've done some…
Hmmm Im going to finish the slig later on... Im still going on with this little project(at a very slow rate right now hehe). Heres another one for you guys! Its a grubb, theyre friendly little water creatures from the oddworld game 'strangers wrath'. I never played the game, but after seeing some screenshots I really…
