Re: Foxish animation - Feedback
This is looking much better! * Thanks for calling me out on saying it should be "beautiful", hah. I was being lazy and non descriptive. What I should have said was, make sure the spacing and arcs are as smooth as possible, in order to push the floaty dreamy feel. Good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qnQqXr838E *… -
Re: Concept Arts
It's not surprising you didn't get many comments... your work is extremely stylized which makes it hard to give technical feedback and giving design feedback is hard because most of it just comes down to "looks bad because of x imo" There aren't a whole lot of rules to design, just suggestions.

Re: Ysalex new portfolio construction thread

Re: 3D for games.

Re: Help on game development.
DaFuture, what they're saying is the texture size to polycount ratio can vary so much that it's almost a rhetorical question.

Re: (Solved, sort of) [Blender] Unpack normal map
So I have "understood" my 2 issues here: Issue 1: Normal Map unpacking My math was right, but my image file color space setting is wrong: at some point during my experiment, I have changed the texture file's color space to linear and turned "use alpha" off. Since my normal RG is stored in image's GA channel, half of my… -
Re: L.A. Noire's 7 year dev cycle: Bad Management?
AU Gamedev has left a mark on me personally, ive had my fair share but to add my own little tidbit to all this: I lived with and worked together with a senior engineer who worked on LANoire for nearly 2 years up until launch.
