if you work hard and go above and beyond you can get what you need out of an AI, but don't fool yourself...They're absolute criminals. Surgeons don't pay that much in tuition - it's quite disgusting. If you're self motivated enough you can get all they can give you and more just out of the aforementioned organizations. It…
Regarding the whole "MMO" thing as a tag... when most of the actual gameplay outside of a hubtown is set around 5-10man instances is it really an MMO? At this point it's more akin to any FPS on the market where maps = instances (I guess left 4 dead would be a close comparison). When you consider those kind of numbers…
Since i didnt get a reply on my thread i thought i will try here.. Im trying to get alpha map hair working using the Xoliul Shader in 3ds max. When I import my mesh and turn alpha on in the settings it gives me something weird. This was with soft shadows in the perferences on, but then i then changed it to hard shadows and…
One of the big problems with your workflow is that you are trying to build this as one or two very large pieces, and the result is that you have a a billion edge loops that are impossible to shape forms with. Real guns aren't built like that, and your 3d model shouldn't be, either. Building your grip into the actual metal…
I loved this movie! they got Spiderman right! I was sketchy about twilight hair doing a good Peter Parker, but he nailed it. I like all the relationships, and even when i knew about Uncle Ben i was still eager so that it didn't happen. Stan Lee's cameo was awesome! and i think the swinging, poses and fighting of spiderman…
buddy of mine who now works at a very very respectable US studio had to wait 6 months, and his immigration lawyer required things that just made you go "wtf?". Like having a printed hi-gloss folio where the main point was that the folio itself looks impressive - nevermind the art inside. I almost imagined that they have…
I have not owned a console since I was 11 and the Magnavox Odessey introduced the space age wonder of pong. I did play alot of Mario in the late 80's from my roomate's nintendo. But that was the last controller that I felt comfortable with. By the time I seriously considered xim360/3. Red Dead and Brutal Legend already…
Video game art creation is a lot 80/20. In this context it's the last 20% ends up taking the most time but also increases the results substantially. As far as losing motivation for school projects. Yeah that's school. It can be a grind at times. Do the work and then go onto a personal project that has you excited. It's…
I finally caved and picked up a wii this weekend, got the mario red one. Grabbed goldeneye and dead space extraction which was done by the same guys (eurocom). the art in both games is fucking stellar for being on the wii. the lighting in some areas of goldeneye rivals some nextgen stuff ive seen, not in terms of shadow…
haha lol yeah. i was thinking that by releasing a demo of a game whose main factor [for some ppl at least] was the controls, they might be making a mistake. but for some reason, my wish to buy this game has just increased. pre-ordered from eb. [$80? isn't it normally $69.99 [canadian] up here?] but yeah. it looks, sounds…
