Re: West Coast entry level artist salary?
If you haven't found the full game developer salary survey online, or don't have that issue, here's some info from the 2006 survey. The average salary across the united states for an artist/animator with less than 3 years of exp. is about $45,400. The average salary in California across all disciplines and years of exp. is… -
Robotic Security Dog 'DotBot'
Hey y'all, it's been a while since I've dropped anything on Polycount but it's nice to finally be working on a more personal project that I can share like this. This thing has been brewing now for about a year and a half (on and off) and I just wrapped up the lowpoly today and wanted to share where I'm at. The goal is to… -
Re: Best way to create Diffuse-Specular PBR textures from Albedo-Metalness?
Maybe my workflow is wrong. I don't have a Photoshop license, so I've been doing this with GIMP. This is what I am doing: Diffuse Map: * Load the albedo map into GIMP. * Drop the metalness map on the bitmap window (it get's loaded as a new layer). * In the layer stack's menu select Add Layer Mask. Pick Grayscale copy of… -
Re: GPUs. Nvidia's Pascal: GTX 1070 and 1080 and what this mean's for the future.
I never implied game usage. You can use textures for still images, product renderings, archviz, movies etc. It was exagerrated but it clearly depends on what you are planning to do. Also my examples were not the point. Generalizing things like "Nobody needs 4k textures" and "We may need 4k textures in 4 years with VR" is… -
Re: Anyone own/used guns?
I on about 10 handgundand 30 rifles, from 1860 to the present. Home defense purposes are different that range purposes, but they overlap. In general I'd recommend a Glock Pistol in .45 ACP as a good general all around pistol. But a New pistol is expensive, starting around $400.00 and going up to the $1000.00 range. You can… -
Re: Halo 4
oh screw those sphoilers, no one here likes halo anyway. Wasn't the corruption thing a play on marathon? Corrupted AI's was always a big thing in most of the bungie games, and in the halo universe it was said that AI's would gobble up information constantly, and at one point they would get too much of it, and they'd go… -
Re: Roman/Gladiator game-models
I did use a lot of reconstruction pictures for refs, but it's not like 1000,000% historically accurate or anything. I used the real thing as a base (mine has the same ammount of arches and whatnot) but I did take quite a bit of artistic liberty in colours and other designs. I chose the whiteness simply because I love that… -

Re: New Ipad Pro now has a stylus
I remember when Apple came out with an iPad a few years back (perhaps the original?), and their marketing line was 'Who needs a stylus?'. Edit - lol: [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YY3MSaUqMg[/ame] Personally, I still have zero need for an oversized mobile phone that cannot make phone calls. I'd like to add that…
