Re: UDK - Environment Saving Private Ryan - Ramelle (portfolio)
Large scale scenes are a lot of fun to work with because you spend very little time on each individual mesh and you just dish out a lot of stuff... and when you put it all together that's the best! However, what Bardler said is true. To put it bluntly, producing large scale environments and getting hired by reputable AAA… -
Re: Advice on Demoreels and Portfolio's for entry level Video Game Industry Jobs
Hi Ben, welcome to the forums. So, from what I've read, I think you might be a little confused as to what you really want to do. You posted this in the animation forum, and talk about a demo reel and an animation piece, but you say you want to be a generalist. It kind of sounds like you`d rather be an animator? Something… -
Re: Activision Just Killed Guitar Hero And True Crime
Thats an interesting viewpoint, but a also pretty naive one. Its a fantastic idea yes, but the truth is, when you work for a company that is funded by a publisher, they get a good say in what goes on with the game because they are paying for the entire development. Everyone likes to think a bunch of employees standing up… -
Re: Topology standards for hard surface modeling?
N-gons are an integral part of my hard-surface workflow. The obsession with quads is an outdated and perpetuated myth. For hard-surface your main concerns are that the in-game mesh is optimised and has a clean silhouette. I only triangulate it non-destructively, before baking, using a modifier in Max. This same n-gon heavy… -
Re: Advice for career path for artist role
Here's some more tips for you, cheap but good resources. - Hai Phan's cgcircuit character art courses. (sorry, won't link 'em here, you do that work :) ) Even if you don't model characters he included texturing theory and "best practices" in his lessons. - Alec Moody's 3dmotive/udemy courses, particularly hard surface tank… -
Re: How to lose sales
That's baseless speculation and a poor reason to shaft the people who would pay for a PC release. It's wrong to fuck over people because you can't stand the idea that someone might get it for free. If that's your attitude, you shouldn't release the game at all because no matter what platform it is, people are going to get… -
Re: Where should i begin exactly?
I would recomend to aim for those models uv'ed/textured and game ready. Post screengrabs on forums, discord art groups and get as many eyes as you can to see your work and feedback it. There good free tutorials on Youtube from Tim Bergholz for beginners with whole process. Since you aim for making worlds, get a small… -
Re: bungie: 'Secondhand sales are evil'
This isn't entirely true, at least for North America. http://www.blockbuster.ca/previously_enjoyed/default.aspx Blockbuster, and almost every other movie rental store I've been to (because blockbuster sucks) sells previously viewed movies in the stores next to the new ones which are also next to the rentals. I'm sure… -
Re: Playstation 4 Thread
Yeah, I see where you are coming from, but I also think that transferring accounts in MMO's and multiplayer games is quite different. In fact, I think it could be done as a part of an in-game store, without ever stepping into the realm of a Steam-wide used games policy. My biggest fear is that allowing used games on Steam… -
Re: EA employee's spouse comments on crunch
[ QUOTE ] I can see out sourcing possible in countries like Korea maybe India, but I don't see it happening in Mexico or China. [/ QUOTE ] Noserider India is the largest third-world country on earth.
