Won't bother commenting on the gated forum idea, this is slightly off the original topic but I think the main issue isn't necessarily the numerous art threads that don't get proper attention and replies. There's simply so many that of course some are going to get lost in the noise. Eric's points to counteract that can work…
" Currently Planned GTA Online Content Updates: Here is a quick overview of a few initial things we’re working on for the first few weeks of Grand Theft Auto Online, alongside an aggressive period of tuning and finessing the game. We will give you dates for all of this content as soon as we have them – bear in mind that…
Too many variables really. Where does the artist live? What sort of education/experience? What does his portfolio look like? I've seen many a young artist with a better portfolio than senior level industry pros, and I've seen student work that is nowhere near professional level. Like I said above, most artists, probably in…
Zaitsev9797 Sure the lighting is only vertex color. But I personaly managed to get somehow nice results by texturing things (by painting lit areas, the Spacedraw lights will seem to have a better impact on already bright pixels) and playing with the lights. Without the BPR option, Spacedraw's display is like a light…
vig: cool post man. Good idea on the specific link for new updates. Good points on the latching on to anything i can get, too. I really do like doing enviro art, just not as much as chars i think. Might be an idea to show both a little more equally, i agree (site restructure, i really gotta learn html for a proper site :\…
Time to revive this thread. Thanks for your help guys, the responses really helped. :) Anyhow, got a few more questions been meaning to ask once I got back online sense I'm only on the net for a short period once every few weeks these days. 8. If I use a list selection command to store a bunch of edges/verts/etc. in a…
Thanks so much for the cool replies! I'm feeling even more excited now :D . I still don't know my entire route yet, I live in Overijssel, just between Zwolle and Deventer. (Elshof 1, Wijhe). I'm going to bring a (lightweight) tent and knock on a door when I've reached my destination for that day. Then ask if they'll let me…
PLAY WITH DEVELOPERS - JANUARY 2011 Yesterday we came back with the much-missed ‘Play With Devs’ game matches between us, Spiral Game Studios, and you - the fans and gamers of the world. We played quite a few rounds of our early modding endeavor, the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta (www.orion-project.net). We had a great…
Okkun: We are working with MAX ( as we have our own inhouse normal map processing tools ) to produce very high poly models and then normal map them down to low poly before creating a Diffuse, Specular map by hand , based on the Normal map. Something like a standard L shaped support beam in the Liandri setting, I would…
So do I. That's not being anal. It's being an informed consumer who wants to get what he pays for. Saying a consumer doesn't care about the features is a rather general, and ignorant statement. I think they would care, if they knew what they should be caring about. Only after you've added a harddrive. I didn't know that…
