Re: [Portfolio] Talbot
for someone coming outta highschool it looks like you have a handle on this 3d stuff. For the content of your portfolio here are some crits, I dunno if i would go back and touch the objects up but more stuff to keep in mind for the future. 1st thing that jumped out at me was the texture sizes, 2048 is rarely used for… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
Great to see this all written down with some proper technical backing to it - while there is no excuse whatsoever to piss away polygons for the sake of using them, and those verts do add up, its ALWAYS textures, textures, textures that are the main bottleneck. As for collision information, in most cases there is little… -
Re: Baby's first smudge painting!
my 2 cents: <font color="yellow">FORM 1st!</font> (then lighting [which i didn't show]) <font color="red">then TEXTURE!</font> how are you using the smudge tool? are you using it to create values? do it this way instead: [ QUOTE ] while using the brush tool, if you hit alt, the brush tool will turn into the eyedropper tool… -
Re: Portfolio help. Pls
Question/Comment about education; basically states: "Home schooled from 4th-12th grade Self taught in Maya Currently working on Bachelors" Most resumes don't list elementary or high school education. Home school is also one of those things some people can be iffy about. While personally, one of my best friends home… -
Re: small Low/High-Poly models showcase
Cool work! I don't really have any major crits on anything but the ultra low poly handheld art. The texture painting you did seems sort of flat to me. The objects are just not reading that well to my eyes because I feel like you didn't push the contrast enough. I think there should be stronger painted highlights and… -
Re: we win!
This industry is so poorly managed; it makes me so angry. Seriously...if i'm not working for this company I'll be working for my own. No other place is worth my time. Not from what I have seen or heard. The problem is: once you work in this business long enough you dont want to work on crap titles. All the buig titles have… -
Re: Mini comp thread locks - discuss / flame here
I don't mean to attack Hawken, he is the only moderator putting in a proper effort towards a Polycount contest forum, but... He needs to be just as strict about his guidelines if he insists on managing the entries. "Pick any character from any (1st person or 3rd person) "next-gen" game. The first half of the rule simply… -
Re: Wolfenstein on GTTV friday!
Watched the GTTV segment today and some stuff looked pretty cool, like when the monster came out of the portal and fucked the nazi duder up. I agree on BJ looking sooo bland and boring though, I hate it when devs go for the "every man" so he is more identifiable with the player, that seems to be a cop out for not having a… -

Re: Have you ever taken out a loan?
I posted in the OP that I actually have no debt whatsoever. The first day I got my credit card (around 2011 - 2012 I think), I vowed I was never going to miss a payment or let a bill pile up. The first day of every month, I personally went to the bank and paid off whatever bill they sent me. For 5 years straight, I NEVER…
