Re: Austin Games Conference
Offical polycount meet and greet at Austin GDC 2006. On Weds at 4:00 pm we'll meet at the head of the rotunda stairs at the convention center. This will give us 3 hours before the Guitar Hero party which I hope we can just all go as a group to. Here's a map as to the rotunda location: It's the only round section of the… -
Re: Open World Level Design (think GTA)
Well, I'm not wrong, because that's a question xD lol technicalities. But now I am a little bit confused, except I will be looking into all that you guys have said so far and sharing the topic to our team again, will look more into draw calls and batching and up my knowledge on those (I guess it's really important to know… -

Re: Hi-tech research facility (UDK environment)
Since I answered this in PM on another forum I thought it might be useful if I posted the answer here too: I created the texture sheets first trying to be as generic as possible, and then reused these textures in different manners to create modular pieces.

Re: Yes! My site! I did it!
*Bows down to the homecoming of master Gauss*.

Re: Questions about Face Weighted Normals in Production
Lessons learned from tearing my hair out for 2-3 years dealing with this on Alien : * Authoring LODs can be a nightmare - we ended up authoring 100% of LODs by hand. Artists naturally hated this.

Re: Dealing with feedback.
It certainly does come off as hypocritical but it has to be, given my position on the team. I'm OK with that as the majority of artists here know my intentions are positive or meaningful. If for every 100 PM's I send to people I need to use 1 of them to start a general topic of discussion for our forum, I'm OK with that. I… -

I know I definitely feel i'm not at the ability to provide any usefully information for anybody that cant easily be found somewhere else. I… -
Re: Road to somewhere: Learning thread for me!
i had actually already thought of doing a 50% gray for the "painted metal" then decided that I didn't like the idea of it being painted metal... felt, weird. so i dropped that idea. so i went a different route instead. but thank you, I wouldn't mind seeing what you did though in the photoshop doc. i'll pm you my email. oh,…
