i see lots of potential for this , but i see too many companies trying to milk it already when the technology isnt quite there yet, and that will kill proper development imo. I mean look at the 3d tv fad and all those gadgets that suddenly got attention. But im biased as i like more the aspect of gaming with people in my…
I agree that from what I've seen the city-parts are the least interesting, and the most overly "busy"in terms of colors and noise and that alpha-test razor sharpness that sometimes wants to take your eyes out. But then again I'm biased towards the less "urban warfare-y" parts of the game, and holy shit indeed that is some…
I think in terms of this forum it's says the facts. Go to another forum that is just for Animation or work geared for commercials and Maya is more popular. If you want a biased forum go to one were Final Cut pro is popular and Max will probably not be mentioned at all. I think the game industry is smaller than Film and…
Well that was entertaining watch I laughed so much. Have to say I pretty much agree on everything but there wasn't any really new info I hadn't heard before....then again maybe I'm a biased crazed gamer. :P I kinda felt bad for the kid at the end though. Poor fella, but It was a great way for the point to hit home for the…
Just saw this posted on some other forums. I don't know how true it all is, but it seems completely in character for Tarantino to me. http://www.therealgrindhouse.com/ (Read the text below the trailer stuff) I've got to admit, I've never liked a thing about Tarantino, so I'm biased to believe that it's true and spread the…
CGTalk though film biased, IMO was a viable alternative up until a change in management that sadly flat earthed a once vibrant community too bulletin board status, although their 3d Art/WIP sections at least are still a feast for the eyes and an education as well. Could say I'd cut my 'digital teeth' on those boards…
This sounds like some spoiled child who freaks out whenever he/she doesn't get to do what he/she wants. I don't think this has anything to do with AM, I'm pretty sure that the person would react the same way even if it was an entirely different field. This just sounds totally biased and unprofessional. Companies have…
Well this is probably biased since I have played and enjoyed the whole Tomb Raider series, I feel the characters have been getting more realistic in graphics and animation. I do agree that the skintones are not very appealing but I think the reason for the blandness there is so that the character stands out against such…
sounds biased, fantasy can be just as crazy do anything as sci fi. It's like saying sci fi is only about spaceships and aliens. I burnt out on series fiction a long time ago, which tend to be the more generic orcs & elves or spaceships and aliens. When you read authors that are confident enough to explore a theme in one…
Are you only using the photon mapping in mentalray or do you have final gather enabled? Mental ray (except of the unbiased iRay) only uses a biased GI, so you need to filter the GI (blend the photons together) to get nice results. For the beginning you could try to only do it using Final Gather. Its a GI calculation too…
