Re: Steam Greenlight... Money where the Mouth is.
Either I am not making myself clear or people are misreading. The developer DOES NOT get the money until they have something to deliver. Whether that be early access or release of final product. This is not like kickstart to fund projects. All funding still has to come from elsewhere. This is simply used to show how many… -
Re: Building Game Environment Portfolio, looking for feedback!
Hey Chris, I'll be direct because it's what will help you along this journey as an artist. All the artists here have already stated the obvious things about multiple environments at one time etc etc... I'll have to agree with KrisLW about the castle scene being the one closest to resembling an environment.. My advice is… -
Re: Film Noir Scene (UDK)
Out of the two designs i prefer the second one, i feel like this could have a sort of alan wake style to it in a noir theme a man/woman just trying to find the answers he/she is looking for.

Re: School Success Rate
At the school I went to (Art Institute) the problem was one of focus. The degree is "Game Art & Design", and the spectrum of topics they try to burden you with is ridiculous.

But on my first professional project I was in charge of… -

You choose DW4 did you not? It ends 1-2 months from now not days. The specs won't be released for another 5 days so how do you expect to finish a comp before it starts? We can do a mini comp that starts today and ends on Monday. We can do whatever, but you choose Dom War. So when dom war is fini, we'll take your entry and… -
Re: another normal map problem :(
You'll end up with two maps one will have good ends the other will have good sides. It's really just a matter of layering them on top of each other in Photoshop then erasing out the bad parts from the top layer. On more organic shapes it can be better to just push the cage outward evenly just enough so that it encompasses… -

Re: What is your favorite movie of all-time?
Dude, totally.. Love the Mist too. I think its the only movie Ive ever seen where I liked the movies ending more than the book/storys ending. The story was great, the movie was fantastic.
