Yeah, hey, Taylor here. I've kind of got a problem with my damn pc which I didn't expect. Specs (can be found in numerous threads. Haha) 4gbram GTX 260 Windows 7 64 bit Quad core 2.6ghz I'm really pissy today because I was running Dawn of War 2 - A game that I really wanted to play - and turns out that I've got a max of…
MaterialX: An Open
Standard for NetworkBased
CG Object Looks MaterialX is an open standard for transfer of rich material and look-development content between applications and renderers. Originated at Lucasfilm in 2012, MaterialX has been used by Industrial Light & Magic in feature films such as Star Wars: The Force…
we all have to rely on our own understanding of what looks "cool" or believeable. So for example if I make a giant buglike war machine Im going to research bugs(praying mantis?) and war machines(tanks?) and then make a design that uses some of my favorite parts of the reference. This is how it was done in the 80s isnt it?…
submission (also updated the first post) http://www.storage.maehring.at/TEMP/The_Beast_SUBMISSION_Maehring.zip and here is the description: „We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.“ (author unknown) This piece consists of four „robodogs“ representing the four main military blocks,…
Fantastic high polygon character with amazing design, but let down by noisy normal maps and lack of surface definition, your metal really doesn't feel like metal. I personally would remove all the low level noise from your normal maps and fall back to a much cleaner specular/gloss. You have some great forms in the…
Well done on your first post on polycount, and great way to start the day with a project everyone can help you with. Fun that my first project was a war hammer tank!:) Firstly the lighting really needs a boost, What are you rendering in may i ask? If your in marmoset try brightening it and alter the exposure and…
A fair point. I wouldn't lump Total War: Rome II in with Colonial Marines. Total War: Rome II sounds like it was just disappointing and a tad buggy given the pedigree of that series. I can say from personal experience that Colonial Marines is a full-on train wreck. But yes, having mis-steps definitely hangs a bit of a…
I honestly just fangirled a bit. I'm such a big fan of your Star wars Redemption project and I've been staring at your work in awe for a few weeks now. Okay, time to compose myself haha. Thank you so much for your compliment. I suppose it really helps that I "own" this character for three years now, in which I've changed…
BF3 struggles to achieve PC fidelity on the consoles though, and 30fps at that, so a bunch of that fidelity is reached by strangling the console to death :) But truly: The artist however is the last outpost of all game art, and even on the ps2 I would find some of the most beautiful games I've ever played, god of war 1 & 2…
Epic Game Store will most likely win in the short term, because EGS offers great deal for gamedev. EGS also pays for exclusivity. Consumers, however, will most likely suffer from this.... 2nd Coming of Console War.... I mean Game Store War... (Windows Game Store already lost. We don't talk about Uplay. Origin kinda still…
