Re: Are games becoming boring?
Are games boring? No, they're not boring because most games create a great experience. But yes, they're boring because I've played that experience too many times to give a shit any more. Games have two components for me, to greatly summarize: Presentation and gameplay. Presentation is story, music, art, and all of the… -
Re: Low poly girl head - requesting assistance/paint-over. [Blender3d]
I'm using blender 3d, so there's no turbo smoothing. There are catmull-clark subdivision surfaces, but I'd like to keep the level of details low and polygonal Visually, sharp edges and flat polygons are pretty much the look I was going for, the problem is that anatomy has been giving me grief for quite some time.… -
Re: [UE4] Mirror's Edge Fanart Environment
oh yeah... totally forgot about the plants :poly136: Thanks for the mention! Mirror's Edge does indeed have the best art style :B. But I don't think the hacked UE3 editor supports the same lighting solution as the original game. A real bummer Iiii haven't got a budget... runs well enough though, and they're not… -
Re: Stylistic CGFX Shader
Hey Revel, Glad you liked it and got the map channel figured out. In Maya texcoord0, 1 & 2 are all used by defaul for UV/Binormal/Tagent. That's why it seemed normal to increment and use the next texcoord which is 3. In Max's .fx file it seems to differ, I can try putting it in channel 2 instead. So just making sure here,… -
Re: World war 3 on the way?
It's really funny you are talking about the Iranian nuclear power which still not even confirmed ... you know like USA did before to Iraq ... Destroyed a FULL COUNTRY ... around 1.5 Million civilians are dead ... Majority are from women and children ... and putting the country on civilian war that only god knows when it… -
Re: Ryan James Smith | Student Reel 2009
Like many people on this forum have stated before I think that reels can be overrated especially for static environments. They usually wont hurt you if used with a good collection of still images but you should never have JUST a reel, unless your an animator. I would make all of the panning shots very short and take a lot… -
Re: Stylization
Good read indeed. I think one of the terrible ironies is that what you have stated is the obvious truth. Seeing how games are meant to be a creative medium, one would think that ALL processes in its development would be creative as well, and by that i mean creative problem solving and the ability to assess and realize the… -
Re: Sod off, Swampy
well maybe you should call greenpeace and get them down in houston jo420, sounds like if they cared they could actually do some good, those people know what they are getting into, i guarantee they knew to expect a violent response, you can't illegally invade a convention and disrupt it without expecting some kind of… -
Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
Having to deal with the realities of being an artist isn't necessarily a total bummer, Rorschach. Artists have always had "whore out" their skills or do day jobs, and it's possible to enjoy the day job to some extent. 5000 years ago artists had to do hunting and gathering like everyone else, in addition to making art. 500… -
Scaled joints on Hierarchy (Maya/FBX)
An outside rigging artist (Always fun to work with someone else's rig) made a rig that had the top level group for the joints with a scale set to 600. Sadly, this went unnoticed. We animated everything as normal, and brought it in to Unity only to notice that putting anything in the joint hierarchy such as collider's meant…
