Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
Sneaky...college is college. No matter what school you go to people will slack off. Also, without getting too heavily into class-warfare, some students don't care about the money because they're not paying for it. But it is good to vent about this sort of shit, or else it'll just boil in your gut. To be honest they… -
Re: Getting let go?
That's a bummer, it's never easy being laid off. This is basically "spec work", kind of like an unstructured art test. Which is the least beneficial to you, since it has no defined guidelines, they can make their decision on a whim. Sometimes a manager with little hire/fire experience will use this as a crutch to try to… -
Re: A tool to save your texture maps quicker
I haven't used either vTools or qSave, just hade super easy actions setup for diffuse, specular, normal to tga. You know, pretty much the first step of all these tools. I've thought about just this, saving out different layers into specific channels, and with different sizes of the files. And now especially on top of that… -
Re: Is Unreal Engine 3 dead now?
Neox, yeah it's one environment piece that I'm currently working on, but it's one of my first ones, I'm fairly new to environment art and am just starting to build my portfolio. So I'm kinda torn to as if I should make my first environment in U4 for a fresh portfolio all with U4 content or just continue the work I have in… -
Re: Quad Chamfer
For a few models a while back, I did all of my supporting geometry at the end with a separate modifier. I floated the idea around to a few people and was met with the same skepticism. A model and a half later I stopped doing it because it was slowing me down. It left too much up to chance and wasn't flexible at all. It was… -
Re: Assassins Creed 3
Really? I mean, yeah it's a bit of a bummer to have to sign on to play, but it's no different than a lot of Steam titles and that sort of thing. The only game of the series that had atrocious DRM was AC2 when it was first released, having to have a CONSTANT connection, and that got patched out. Brotherhood even had an… -
Re: 3ds max: XRefs for character animation
Yeah, I think last time I tried XRefs was around 2012-2014 as well. Well, bummer. Refs are so handy in Maya, after working with them I can't even imagine any really robust and flexible workflow in which you can roll out some major updates to rigs during animation without it. Renaming is one thing, but something more… -
Re: Wildstar Carbine studio Lays off 60
Despite what some people have said Cryptic is a great place to work if you're not really into the project layoff cycle. We've got some amazing artists here, too - (except for quack!. he's godawful. we pretend he's not here.) we're also growing and hiring at a pretty regular cadence. I would love to see some of the carbine… -
Re: tf2 specs
Ahh thanks cheese that explained a lot. - Unique UV's huh... kind of a bummer but that confirms some of the tightly packed textures I've seen. - Mirrored UV's? Do you mean overlapping or flipped/inverted UV pieces - Spec Maps. For the life of me I couldn't find where they where hiding the spec maps. But in the alpha of the… -
Re: Blood Frontier Alpha 2 Released
Doh - guess they fixed it so you can't just link to the file page. Bummer. Navigate through http://sourceforge.net/projects/bloodfrontier/ instead. Screens: http://i37.tinypic.com/14wr31z.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/2ir6b14.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/16bzmmc.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2h7nayu.jpg And at about 140 megs, it…
