Hi everyone, I'm a fourth-year student at Academy of Art University, and an intern at Sledgehammer Games (I know some coworkers lurk around here!). This upcoming semester, I am running a class where we will be prototyping and building a first-person multiplayer game using the Unreal Development Kit. The game is called…
Perhaps it's simply a matter of habit. I often find I have to select way less, if I want to rip 2 islands from each other. yesterday, I had 2 big complex islands that I wanted to split. They had 1 shared edge. And I felt a little handicapped having to select the whole giant island, instead of just splitting this 1 edge,…
well you are WRONG i would not "always" look for shortcuts i need to edit the ethic to: "dont always look for shortcuts" it is a judgment call. i would script something that would help in the long term and not just something i might need right now. things like the topology change above does not require a script. relying…
We're supposed to overcome our handicaps, not succumb to them. It's not that being introvert will end ones career, it's just that it will limit it to being that artist who takes his task makes the asset, and then resets back to square one, it's hard to get anywhere without actively partaking in work. Breaking out from the…
If I had to draw a paralleled... Software A is like a manual transmission. Software B is like an automatic transmission. It doesn't really matter which software is A or B. The point is, if you learn to drive both ways, you can drive any car out there. Don't handicap yourself and don't stress about leaving one for the other…
I know there's already a D&D mmo but here's two I'd like to see: Planescape: because it's mean and gritty and there's so many crazy places to visit and you've got the Blood War going on which would fill the PVP role (hire yourself out as a mercenary) Spelljammer: ship to ship combat in space, I could see a mechanic similar…
I'm a little confused as to how this door actually opens. I assume it splits at the yellow/black strips?... but you have this blue shape at the bottom which wouldn't be able to move in my mind. It is more of a handicap to the functionality of the door. I think some more contrast would make this pop. You have a little of…
At first its great and stuff but when you figure out that the game is pertty much linear, then it starts to go downhill fast. Each class has like 3 valid skillpoint combos. And gear wise you cant make any decisions, its just like sword A is better than B, now shut up and use A or be handicapped. Oh, and to be good in PvP…
You can also bullshit about how 3d printing can make fake arms and legs for the handicapped and that you find it amazing and would like to be a part of what would push this technology further into the bright and golden future. How it could one day becomes a foundation of replicating technology in the future. Or how the…
no, it's just a useless skill. Or a useless goal, at least. Sure, it's impressive. But there is no shortage of reference and never a reason you cannot use one. So why handicap yourself? Certainly building more knowledge about anatomy is your goal. But you do that by working with reference. its like if my goal was to run a…
