Whilst visual scripting does share a lot of the same principles, they are absolutely not the same thing. Programming languages are systemic and can handle the same tasks as would be handled in assembly. They can build or extend any part of an application, can build an entire application from scratch, and generally include…
Yeah, button layout is a tricky beast to get right! If you check that pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/pior_ubb/piorstick_02-dimensions.jpg you'll see that originally I had the buttons set up in a 'spread' layout- with the punches slightly more spaced than the kicks. I thought it would be optimal but it turned…
Super cool 2d stuff in here. Those metal gear style scary killbots at the top are baller, i'd love to see one in 3d. Crits:I feel like the g3's spec is extremely weak. It basically looks like you got caught up on detailing the specular and completely forgot to just make it look like metal and then work from there. Judging…
To be an environment artist you dont necessarily need to have full environments, but you need to at least be able to show that you can work on the grid creating modular highly reusable pieces. As long as you have something that conveys that, the rest can be props. Full environments are just so employers know your skill set…

Also, with more and more games being built on the ability to create entire worlds Minecraft style,…
plyrs : As I said to you on Skype, looking pretty sweet really, you already have good lighting and its telling a bit of a story, you could try and extend this a little with the childs writing on the board, along with maybe some childs toys spread around the room to try and increase that contrast between innocence and evil.…
I love the brushwork in this. The colors are great too. However I feel the composition is hurting it quite a bit. She's cut off in an unnatural way, and so is her arrow. This makes it feel oddly cropped. You could include the arrow tip, and fade her dress into darker shadow, help ease the transition to the edge. Same with…
Great tutorial Brad. This thread looks like a good place to post this 3DS Max Custom Quad Menu hotkey combo trick for extending hotkey customization. I learned this from someone's Vimeo tutorial but I forget whose (and it may have been posted here already). If anyone knows, please let us know since all credit belongs to…
EXACTLY. It's funny how people give the single life this negative stigma, like you need to find your 'second half' or such bullshit indicating that one's life is not 'whole' or 'complete' without your 'soul mate'. When it comes down to it, do what makes you happy in life, and it's ignorant to think no one can find 'true…
Hmmm... C++ is always a solid choice, just because it is one of the most useful low-level languages out there. A lot of popular API's are fully compatible with C++. Basically, pretty much anything that can be done with programming can be done with C++. At the same time, C++ is considerably more annoying to learn than Java.…
