I got the beta from the master valve key they hooked us up with for relic employees, i have only played for literally 10 mins so this is pureley 1 st impressions. Graphically it looks more detailed than cs source but there is still a sense of bspness to things, basically, it looks like a source game. The weapon models look…
forget normal mapping for now and focus on modelling first. Learn to make proper high poly models. You also waste a lot of UV space. Try to reduce the wasted space as much as possible by scaling and moving around the shells. Also try to make sure they are all scaled together and proportionally, you can change their sizes…
Saw it in Imax 3D today!! Definitely the right way to experience it! :D My friend and I both thought it was really awesome--I didn't know why everyone had been reviewing it so poorly. The story wasn't the best I've seen, but I thought much better than people were making it out to be. Some of my favourite scenes were the…
I've drank whisky for about 15 years and Malt's only for about 7 years now. After a couple of years you start understanding what you like, a couple more and you understand why and eventually you turn into a bit of a malt snob which I'll own up to being. I won't drink anything other than Scottish Malt's unless I can avoid…
Hi All Just wanted to ask other game environment artists about your thoughts on using zbrush ,mudbox ,etc as a primary tool for creating textures for environments. I`m asking because i`ve been working in the field for about 20 years and i`m still not convinced about the workflow of zbrush,etc in creating textures. Yes I…
I know it's user driven, but not to the extent it should be. Almost every person on this thread has mentioned something that is missing. It's clear that Max is targeted at the games industry. Maya is a staple of the animation world, be that film or game or TV, but Max is quite obviously a staple of the games industry. Sure…
It is a sad reminder that rather then being concerned with the fact that help is there, poor people in the region are worried that they wont be able to afford their flight out. What kind of screwed up country do we live in where we have completely turned our back on large parts of the population? Wanna play the blame game?…
Man 1: Jerome, never shy, pisses on command. Beautiful piece of equipment you've got there Jerome. I ever told you that? Man 2: Only every time I'm in here. Man 1: Occupational hazard. I see a great many on the course of any given day. Your's just happens to be an exceptional example. Don't know why my folks didn't order…
You need Mental Ray for Maya installed! For some reason this is not listed on Pixologics website. A co-worker figured this out and it hasn't been a problem since. http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-mental-ray-products.html From Pixologic. No idea why they wrote this. We have all been using GoZ fine with 2017 after…
