meh, there are always going to be highs and lows until the day we die. Fretting over global warming is silly. Concern over smaugy dirty air...yes I can see that, but concern over CO2 in the air, a natural substance we exhale and plants need...meh. People need to research carbon credits a bit more. Government will allow…
Hey guys, finally got started on this yesterday! I did a quick blockout in Maya, layed out a base for my wall texture (I'm gonna try handpainted I think), and got a quick start on some grass. I also played around with worldmachine a bit.... i was thinking it might be cool to have some distant mountains or something. I know…
Very nice model. The material definition could need some more tweaking however. The materials look all very similar, rubber and metal have similar spec and gloss and diffuse color. Make the rubber / PVC darker and maybe more diffused. The plastic cover on the front picantinny looks like its one piece with the picantinny…
haha sick paintover! I wish I had 8 hours a day to work on this project haha That pully system is pretty much exactly what I had planned! The "prisoner" idea is BRILLIANT and I will most likely be borrowing that idea from you =P The bridge seems a ton more practical than my plank of wood.... but I may find a mid ground…
To be fair, Gray, that article is from the "EA-Spouse" era, over half a decade ago. I too had heard nothing but horror stories from those who worked for EA (or for an EA-owned studio) at that time, however I think they got bit hard enough that it changed their attitude, at least somewhat. Most of those I know who have…
The game we're developing is a FPS that has a mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and urban gothic themes. The FPS will be a game mod based on open-source engines Cube 2 and Tesseract with gameplay similar to Red Eclipse and other FPS games. Hello, we're hard at work developing a game demo. We already have a functional alpha build of…
It sucks... scrap it..(how's that for ripping :P) Seriously, I'll start with the positives. I really like the idea on the menu bar. It may be better to have as flash, but I know you probably don't want to get that involved. I'm thinking flash would be a smaller file. If possible try to reduce the file size of those images.…
Hi, folks. I work two jobs. I am a background actor...meaning I am an extra. And I am a manager at a small clothing store in a ghetto area in Inland Empire, So Cal. I usually spend 12 hours plus 1 hour lunch time and 2 hour commuting time on the set. And I usually work 3~4 days a week as an extra. And as a store manager I…
Way back when, my veeery much younger self fresh out of high-school had worked for a few global automotive brands alongside doing a stint in the army which may explain a 'thing' for vehicle art plus other mechanical HS stuff. So aside from enjoying what I do as mainly a pastime activity these days, might also add that the…
Im getting back into game dev after a many years away, you know, because of life. So my question came about as I was considering the best way to do LoD's I got some of what I would call higher poly stuff that I was looking to reduce etc. I went through most of the stuff in the polycount wiki on LoD's that started to answer…
