Re: General Indie Game Questions and Information Gathering
I found the best method for communication, team management, and game production management is to use Kageshi.com where you can make a private room which will allow for group webcam live stream chat and live text chat. You can set a password, assign admins/ moderators, and even design your room. The next part of this method… -
Re: can I get a portfolio review?
The finished piece of the crashed ship is the most impressive of the 3D bunch - I'd perhaps swap that to be the 3D image on the front page. Having said that, you might do better to just put both the 2D and 3D on one page, with the field you'd prefer to go into first. Bump up the thumbnail size of the 2D stuff a litte, too.… -
Re: Slaughter House Asset creation
Konstruct is correct. You should just swap out the models once you pick up the object and hold it in your hands. That said, 301 triangles is quite a lot - especially so since you still have jagged corners. I don't really think you need more than 100 triangles, but even a box or chamfered box would suffice. Look at the… -
Re: Thoughts on Modern Mech/Suit Design
A huge part of the shift in sci-fi and superhero art lately towards this kind of look has been driven by two things: 1) People's subconscious being saturated with news footage of armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan (or just SWAT teams in major countries) wearing increasingly modern body armor. 2) The Dark Knight trilogy,… -
Re: Character - Running Cycle
I'm guessing you used a side reference for the animation, but not a front ref. It looks pretty good from the side. But when viewed from the front I notice quite a few things you can improve. * General rule, if you don't animate the fingers just put them in a fist. Saves time, and doesn't look unnatural. * Typically only… -
Re: Unlimited Detail
Right now the animations are the mesh stored for each frame of the animation. Essentially the same as vertex animation. This has a major drawback, which is no dynamic animation, so no ragdolls, no wind making trees sway, or physics influenced animation. Memory is the other issue with the animation setup, since you're… -
Re: Time to build a new computer.
5820K is a 6 core CPU with worse per-core performance than the 4970, which means it will only offer better performance with well threaded apps. Many apps can't take advantage of over 2 cores, many others that can are not linearly threaded. So you pay more for the CPU, and you have to spend significantly more on DDR4 and a… -
Re: When eyeballing a studio...
At that point I would buy a $20 coffee pot and make it at my desk. =/ But I can't imagine a place that would starve people of the greatest source of creativity. You would probably be beating people away from the pot with a stick. You might be able to discourage them by drinking directly from the pot, like a dog. And the… -
Re: Bigley: Low Poly Thread
Well, even being smaller in size having two textures would mean more texture fetches and draw calls, not sure it's much cheaper. Even so cause I imagine you would have two sets of 2048 textures with two diffuse, normal, spec, etc, right? How does the UV layout look at the moment, if you really do need the extra space I…
