Re: Any developers here dealt with NoGravity/Fat Dog Games?
the fact that the company has changed names at least once is a bit of a red flag. giving a couple keys to interested business partners is a pretty standard thing, I wouldn't expect a potential partner to give me some nickle and dime money, I would just give them as many copies as they want to test out the game, same for… -
Re: Art "inspiration"?
i don't really see a problem here to be honest the works in any portfolio are simply examples to show employers how well you can perform the tasks they give you. the "infringing" artist's execution is worse than the originals and that's really all that matters. they still had to follow a "concept" and execute it from… -
Re: Would you like to do a community chest?
I can totally confirm that there is an obvious strength in group submissions. I personally participated in a few of them - they can be a lot of fun, and they force everyone involved to stick to deadlines ! My only word of advice about such a community chest would simply be to avoid any kind of labeling, like "veterans"… -
Re: Quixel: nDo & dDo news
Not entirely sure if you have done this already but for dDo; Iterative batch processing. Create many variations of the same texture by incrementing (layers/functions/). So lets say you want several crates made with differing levels of damage. Once you have the base material sorted in dDo, It then creates variations of that… -
Re: odd terminology in game art circles
Not really, what you're thinking of is tone mapping. HDR is simply high dynamic range. You can have HDR images, you can have HDR rendering, it really only refers to your bit depth. An HDR image will have 16 or 32 bits per channel, while an LDR image has 8. HDR files allow you to store much more information in your images… -

I haven't been modeling for very long so i'm not that great which is why i'm here, for feedback!The scene i'm going for is like a small island which has been infested by a large tree… -
Blender or Modo for Houdini-Substance-Unreal Pipeline?
Hi, So a bit of background on this. I've been doing freelance game modeling for a while now and I'm at the point where I'm close to setting up a pipeline and have some funds just dedicated to that and i'm not sure what modeler to choose. I used maya in the past but started transitioning to Houdini for most things and now… -
Portfolio Dev Discussion: Quality vs. Quantity
It's been said to me and others on Polycount that 2-3 good pieces are better in the portfolio than 10 moderately decent pieces. I believe that. Now another issue I've faced recently is simply the quantity of work WITHIN your pieces. Would you agree that an "excellent" handgun, Pokeball and Unicycle are superior to a… -
Re: Wip.. Anyone have tips for presentation?
TLDR; artstation has some learning section go give it a look. If i had to guess cause who knows, i think figuring out a great lighting setup would work wonders for a lot of artworks even my own. I am only learning that now and boy oh boy is there a lot to learn apparently. Besides that i think artstation is trying to help… -
Re: Good laptop for mobile development.
Unless there is a very specific requirement for portability, i'd never suggest a laptop really. especially not a 600 quid (1000 usd) laptop. Getting a desktop will always be many times more powerful for the price. Even for mobile though? Won't a low-end laptop do? That might sound outragous but there are unexpected…
