@Ashervisalis I'm from that part of the world, So this isn't some example of an outsider getting worked up over something they have no real stake in. And if this was the first , or 10th thread I'd seen like this, you would not see abrasive words from me. Being that this same kind of thing has been posted to the point where…
You can tell a true person who knows anatomy from someone who looked too often at medical models. Unfortunately Makkon, Civadi is the later. Proof? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/Makkon/Reference/GiovanniCivardi_anatomy02.jpg The rib cage on a living breathing human being is much more angled. In fact there is only…
Don't do it. Lets say school will cost 100K total. Spend like 1/10th of that on some good classes/tutorials/computer and you'll be way ahead. I am taking a Digital Arts degree right now. There is 1 other student that is somewhat interested in game art out of the 30. Most of the students don't even take art seriously…
I'm might have something that puts games in perspectives. Richard, as a hobby. No, games are not expensive compared to some at least.. Example. My other hobby love (other than comics) is R/C Car Racing. Lets see, for the top of the line first class machine.. (1/10th Sedan) $420 Chassis kit Without Body/tires $250 Motor/ESC…
Hey Folks, I've been putting this thread off for a while as I've been busy with my newest addition to the family ... Nuala Johnstone was born 8 pounds 7 ounces at 3.34pm on September 10th and really, thats where the majority of my time has been spent lately :) She's doing great, growing very fast, freakishly attentive to…
I don't think Autodesk supports Maya PLE anymore, it went the same way as GMax. Other free options are Softimage Mod Tool which is up to version 7.5. Or Houdini which also offers a free learning edition, though it's not used much for game development afaik. I'm not sure if Autodesk allows a user to sell a license, a lot of…
Cool stuff, I love the art style. Those screenshots look great. I wish the advert showed some proper gameplay though. I was a big fan of Settlers back in the day, I played Settlers 1 and 2 to death, got Settlers 3 and 4 too but decided after those I wasn't gonna get any more of the games, since they were becoming less and…
If I had left it up to my schooling, I would have turned out a lot differently. We had the special class in fifth grade, but all that did was explain periods to us. Didn't have an "official" sex ed class until I was in 10th grade. I'd already been dating a guy for a year by that point that pressured me daily to have sex…
A few points: * A lightmap is a black and white image. All the areas around your UV islands are black. If you have large black areas when you downsample the image you get a darker result. It's better to completely cover the image as much as possible. This way you eliminate as much black space as possible. * Also what grid…
What a fantastic sense of entitlement the lad has! Being so touchy that you take offense even when none is offered is a great way to get started in an artistic field. I have advice to offer, DaFuture - you need an attitude adjustment. If you want help or insight or whatever, don't complain that replies aren't served to you…
