That's a charming, but inaccurate workflow, I can see the appeal in it. You'll be trading large changes in shape/volume to solve a few pinching areas if you're using low poly cages. I know you didn't ask for this feedback, but practicing the fundamentals of subdivision modeling is much better in the long run than…
Edit: I've heard good things about the Stafford course, it's probably worth looking into. I've also heard good things about the games art course at Derby. I would certainly recommend a focused course rather than a 'jack of all trades' design course. If you feel that you should have applied elsewhere, it is definitely worth…
Nobody cracks encryption (assuming it is an actually good encryption like Rijndael or Twofish)... It would simply take too long. In any case encryption doesn't really prevent piracy, that's what copy protection is for. Copy protection is what gets beaten, not encryption. There's really only two ways to identify a…
To echo again what others have said, this is my experience and what happened to us. I have done something similar, basically my gf got a job after finishing her studies but it was in another town. So I decided to quit my industry job that I had for over 4yrs and further my 3d skills. I moved in with my gf in the new town…
... Okay from that perspective i see where that might be a problem, though why wouldn't someone ask once shown the concept who made the concept, that is what i do immediately after viewing one if it is paid work. The guy who actually posted on here from what i remember is not the creator of this and if it is, then he made…
I absolutely agree. I reinstalled BF2142 again the other day, and while it's a freaking hassle to even get to work (if you bought Northern Strike), it's still so much fun. The only downside is that they feel very, very old by now, and there aren't many good servers left. If someone remade all the BF2142 assets with higher…
Pak: I am tired of seeing lens flares over done in games. Espeically in early screen shots when the game is trying to get some attention. It's like the Wilhelm Scream Once you know about it, you see it, you groan you move on. Or in my case you spend 30 min bitching about it in a forum. MoJo: jack_blackSISCO is tubboy, I…
But if you apply the cubemap reflections to your customlighting/customlightingdiffuse, the reflections that are in the shadow of the main light source will be much darker than the faces that are facing the light source. The environment could bounce more light from the "shadowed side" and therefore result in incorrect…
"Art test successful" - you got the job? There's some fairly solid work here man, but honestly... given that you've got 4 working days left, i would absolutely have spent more time working and polishing this up. It LOOKS rushed, the most evident areas for this, are in things like cloth folds, which have tension across…
I think it’s looking nice so far. A very dynamic sculpture. It will be interesting to see how you end up posing the new fight. :) A couple things about the old one that were a bit difficult for me to see are that it’s difficult to tell where the body of the dragon is at. Like with the image on the right, it feels like the…
