Re: Desert Outpost (Working Title)
Wow guys, thanks a lot! Very helpful crits, and I will keep those in mind for sure! Here is the results of Day 3, along with some responses to your feedback. @BagelHero: Thanks for the praise dude! I spent a pretty good amount of time on that water (probably like 3-4 hours on the shader, plus time for vertex painting,… -
Re: My game asset creation learnings
OK so I'm having some problems with Unity default shading system. I have to texture a terrain that I built externally in Blender but am stuck at so many different places. So this is what the problem is - 1.sculpted a terrain mesh, 2.decimated it to create a low poly mesh, 3.baked out a normal map, 4.tried out the 4 layered… -
Re: I thought I was done with you normal seams...

Re: [3ds Max] miauu's Spline Deformer
Undo for soft selected edges not works. The reason: - when MAX moves soft selected edges the amount of used RAM increase and increase and increase. My PC have 8 GB of RAM and during the tests that I made I manage to crash my PC several times. The reason - max starts to eat memory one every movement of the spline's knot. So… -
Re: Features for the website.
I'm digging the news so far, and do agree with the support for the "friday wrap-ups" and mini artist features. To second Xoliul's opinion on seeing other staff's picks. Maybe break it up into 3 parts in the same news section: waywo Highlights: A few of the staff (3-5) pick a fav piece from the thread and pimp it. Thread… -
Re: Macbook vs. PC
I just made the switch from PC to Mac literally days ago and I have no regrets with it. I'm running off of Windows on it and I haven't had any problems. The main reason why I made the switch is that Apple has amazing customer service. They'll fix their broken products you've bought from them sometimes even if the warranty… -
Re: Character rendering lighting set up?
3 point lighting all the way! The way I do my orbits in Maya: Make a camera, set up your 3 point lighting, then group them all. Set a key for the rotation of that group at frame 1. Figure out how ling you want the orbit to be, go to one frame past the last frame of your orbit. Rotate the group by 360 in the Y (assuming Y… -
Re: GTA IV PC
That's a fairly horrible list of bugs. Seems like the performance is dreadful, especially considering the 360's hardware is lower-end than most decent gaming PCs today. PC developers are well aware of the many combinations of hardware/software/drivers/operating systems, and for years have been testing their products on as… -
Re: Star Wars Episode VII, The Force Awakens...
It seems like there are two camps on this and they seem to break along generational lines. Haters: They came of age after the original trilogy had run its course. Their nostalgia factor is mockery of EP 1-3. You say Star Wars to them and they bust out laughing at all of the meme's that come to mind. Fans of the Original… -
Re: making a livable wage as an indie dev
I went indie 3 years ago or so. Actually the company we started and game we developed is still coming (should be 2012 sometime). We did it right at the height of the recession without knowing the recession was coming. We had some good things lined up and ended up being indie because things dried up fast. I ran out of…
