Re: Katana, what is it for?
Katana is a standalone app designed to handle lighting and lookdev, and send that to render. That's pretty much it- it's more about the method and being able to make changes quickly. I've never used it personally, but I've had a taste of managing and lighting large scenes in Maya and it can be rough. My understanding is… -
Re: keyboard and mouse for work
I use a $5 keyboard that i got from a thrift shop. It's one for old people with big letters. My mouse is a Logitech G502, which I feel is a good quality and functional product for not very much money. I've had it about a year, works fine, is easy to change the buttons functions with, and has just the right amount of extra… -
Re: Organic Hard Surface modeling?
i see your point, it comes down to really classifying a model and really it doesn't matter how you classify the model you just have to generate it. i was going to do my dissertation on the subject for my final year of uni but you have just pointed out that really it doesn't matter how you do it just get it done :) okay so… -
Re: UE4 Modular SciFi environment [WIP]
The width of the hallway pieces was mostly dictated by how it played in UE. Wanted a 3rd person camera where the player can zoom in and out, sorta like in most MMOs. With thinner hallways, the camera kept bumping into walls and was forced to "hug" the character. It didn't play well. Not in love with how much it swayed… -
Re: Introducing Amplify Texture, the leading solution for Virtual Texturing in Unity
So this is like IdTech5? Can you explain me why I would want to hand-paint every single pixel of the environment instead of using two sets of 512² or 1024² and vertex blend them together?

Re: Expo/Con Networking Advice
-business cards -Find out who's attending so you could have a short list of VIP you may want to meet so you don't waste time networking with a random non-artist intern (except if they're cute and your type :\ ). Follow their social media accounts, start a conversation going. -same with companies; more you know who's… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Chat
Two things that bug me a bit, but nothing major. - Shadows. The edges are horrible grainy and at obtuse angles (like dusk under the Ltrain) the shadows make everything completely crap-ass blurry and grainy. - Pop up (360). I would have liked an option to install to disk, like it does on PS3. I understand it couldn't be… -
Re: FF XIII on 360 only 576p.......?
Well, the latest official shots from both SE and MS show clearly that the 360 version is indeed in 720p native, although I can't see any AA on them. In other words, it looks like the original idea that the 360 shots were taken either badly or from a video source at the wrong res seem to be pretty spot on. Anyway, check the… -
Re: How to write cover letter if you are self-taught junior 3D artist?
JamesMeader - sound advice! Keep it short but try to come across as a real person. Info I can get from your resume doesn't need to be in the coverletter. Your coverletter can make a job application much more personal than a generic anonymous bullet point resume (and don't kid yourself, most resumes will look pretty much… -
Re: Hello Polycount...
What? I said I never agreed to any guy on guy action. :poly122: And I don't like how you are going around claiming I'm backing out just because the terms don't suit you entirely. Even before you decided to post in this thread, I had posted the terms. The terms where I was gonna show up a few mouthy polycounters, of which…
