Yeah it really depends, if we're talking about completely separate objects that you could repurpose in different ways, that should always be modeled as separate mesh chunks. If we're talking about unique elements of one asset that will only ever be aranged in one way, you're generally better off making the low as water…
Thanks for the advice Jeff! I'll be reading through that article today. I have considered looking for a programmer up front and making a few smaller games just to get into the flow of making games. A recent awesome game that is a testament to this is Rogue Legacy. I've never heard of Cellar Door Games, but once I started…
I'm not being sarcastic in the least and I'm not just talking about Marvel and Lucas Films. I'm talking about their entire catalog of works. They are all appropriated works either from the public domain, licenses, or out-right purchases of the rights. They haven't created anything wholly original since "Steamboat Willy" (a…
Motion Blur makes movies presentation, not games. http://blog.unionfilms.org/2012/12/23/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-a-technical-review/ For those who don't want to click the link, it's talk about the Hobbit the issue of progressive frames vs. old school 24 with and without motion blur, here is the image: I think the…
I wasn't talking about the pose, I was talking about the modeling (which has gotten MUCH better, btw). Like, the main body section was too sharp and flat. The concept image looks more like a diamond, while he modeled it very flat. There was a sort of rib cage area that was missing in the first model, but he's added it.…
Wow, a year already. He was based in Austin for awhile and would come to my Austin Game Dev Beer Nights, and we'd talk sometimes. I fanboyed out HARD when I found out who he was. :) After he passed, I put together a memorial Beer Night with the local dev community, and got dozens of people that had worked with him over his…
Before we even talk about giving the leather some wear, you need to first make it feel like leather. The picture Avvi posted is pretty good reference, notice all the cracky vein like structures. Those structures should be represented within your normal, roughness and even a bit within the Albedo. Check out this tutorial,…
Diggin' the reviews Zeitgiest, you've got a southern hospitality that you don't usually see in video game reviews and it's cool to see a review up for a game a lot of the guys here have been working on. Suggestion: You should get one of your buddies to roll in on the microphone really drunk while you're talking about the…
BTW the venus project is just another way of talking about a commune. Only that they want to use tech to help make life good for the people in the commune. You can't create a commune like the venus project because the costs behind it would mean necessitate a loan. A loan would mean you would have to trade with the outside…
