I am the Lead 3D artist for Rise of the Triad, so I had to set all of the tricounts and texture limits. I did research to get a grasp of what the big boys were doing with consoles and PC. Drake from uncharted is 30k tris with no lods for example. So 'hero' characters on old hardware could have a ton of triangles. The…
Hey everyone, I'd like to share a project I've started working on recently: The fortress of Angband and Thangorodrim from The Silmarillion. The scene is meant to be my own interpretation of what the fortress exterior would have looked like during the time period after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and before the War of Wrath…

Alright, I got a little time to do this thread so I'll post my process and little things I thought when jumping from version to version. It's a shame I didn't have time to share it here before so I could get the great feedback everyone else got but I sadly heard about the contest about three days ago and my workload at the…
What an odd thread. Similar to one that came up on my work's internal boards recently, except that one had less pillocking around. Ninjas, you could indeed argue that playing a text adventure is "reading" - technically of course it is. But anyone older than 38, or who's just never been into games, would consider it as much…
Alright, so far I did a big update on this project. Major optimization is done. Got rid of displacement maps and optimize materials. It doesn't look any different and I'm getting 60 fps 1080p. I also added the fire sun prism that shoots out of the moon planet. I'm still figuring out the planet material in substance. I have…
[ QUOTE ] Unless it's something I believe is worth buying. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I'll pirate the expensive stuff, for the eyecandy, and move on to something else with more compelling gameplay. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I would play until i got bored or until i finished the first level/mission. If i finished the first…
Haven't posted anything since about 2010. But i'm still here every day to check out how everyone is doing. This here fella is spaghetti scifi spaceman. Like 50/60s era scific magazine/comic cover aesthetic. All form questionable function. Like those boots would absolutely not work in space. Here's some more shots and turn…
Hello! To start, a bit about me! I'm currently 42 and started working in games about 7 years ago when I was 35. I had been dabbling in 3D for about 10 years before that always wanting to work in games, but the city I live in had little to no game studios. So my options were to either move or work other 3D type jobs not…
