Re: Schooling/Education/College Help :(
Find an inexpensive community college nearby and study art basics. Don't pay out the ass just to learn art basics somewhere. I'd try to avoid 30K in debt if possible. I'm not sure of the prices now, but art basics courses at a community college could be ~$400-600, which is much better vs. 30k. Use polycount or other… -
Re: Call of Duty MW2
Normally, I would be all over the idea of using the gameplay in order to enhance the storytelling. ICO has proven that gameplay mechanics can, not only reinforce, but actually create the storyline. However, when I hear about this idea being implemented in such mainstream title as COD, I can't help but think "meh". For a… -
Re: I need advice on simple low to high poly workflow for curved quad geometry
Thanks for all the advice! After reading it, in addition to the EQ's thread on hard edged seams vs smooth seams, I have decided to redo my model smoothing and UVs. To summarize (correct me if I misunderstood something): - I'll have UV seams on every single edge I want to be hard - I'll have no smoothing on every edge I… -
Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
Its really weird to me that i keep seeing people say this about the passion in the industry, that people enjoy the work. Yet im really not sure that these people fully understand that other human beings are taking advantage of your passion, using you and your passion, and abusing you, to make money for themselves. We have… -
Re: workflow problems
EQ : the point being made is that in a not so long distant past, changes were possible at any time with really no friction. Of course even back then they were annoying to do (having to redo something is always a bummer !), but the impact was orders of magnitude less than today. I'd totally agree that ideally there should… -
Re: (Portfolio) Messy Study Desk
Looks like it's coming along! Currently I see a bit of a undecidedness when it comes to whose room I'm exactly looking at here. Currently the ikea-like furniture designs that you chose, the big peace sign on the chair, colorful posted notes, messy yet organized looking clutter, Mac and Macbook-type computers leads me to… -

High Poly baking on a mesh with 90 degree hard edges?
Hello! Newbie at 3D art here. I'm also new to these forums, so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. Let me start off by summarizing my issue. Basically, what I've been trying to do is bake down smooth edges from a high poly model, onto a low poly model without Face Weighted Normals. The low poly mesh has… -
Holy crap, Arkham Asylum
I'm extremely late to the party, I know. But I just finished that amazing game last night. If its alright with you guys I'd like to forgo the music playlists and awesome videos to jog your memories back to August 2009 when I am sure you all enjoyed Batman: Arkham Asylum as much as I just did over the weekend. You see, I… -
Polycount 3.0 design restrictions
This should be interesting... There were four major design restrictions for the new Polycount 3.0 design. If you want to criticize the new design, these points are the off-limits ones, since we had to work within them. If you want to produce a new mockup, your design must also conform to these design restrictions unless…
