Re: Question about aiming for a company in terms of artstyle
IMO, as long as you demonstrate your skills as a character artist, I think for a company like Dontnod the artstyle doesn't matter that much. However, if you have a portfolio full of characters matching your favorite artstyle, it could be a smart move to just have one bust or two showing that you can do other things. It… -
Re: Airborn Studios: Project Dragon Art Blast - Very Image Heavy!
Fantastic work! Curious about the sale of Phoenix labs to Forte, critical path games should attempt to buy back the ip from Forte or any possibility for asset buyback. A good article on that saga, https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/what-happens-when-a-secretive-blockchain-company-buys-your-game-studio This is more of a… -
Re: Watch Dogs: Holy shit.
That's what annoys me, because to me that's almost as bad as when Killzone 2 used prerendered footage claiming it was in game. That was a big deal then and is totally why most devs put disclaimers on their trailers stating if it's realtime or not. I'm starting to wonder if we'll need disclaimers stating "this is totally… -
Re: Problem with wires and smooth stuff.
@Ben Apuna: Tried exporting your mesh: Something is obviously wrong with the exporting method in XSI o.O @Cyrid: That's a very good and well explained idea :) There must, however, be another method than just ripping out all the flat polys :( @Neox: You don't just ditch one of the best lighting systems around, it's there to… -
Re: Marvelous Designer. Some noob questions...
I'm sorry for this misunderstanding, I'm not accusing you of anything :D I just naturally assumed that "hold to select multiple objects" means a selection rectangle... like... in literally every other piece of software on planet earth. -
Re: Do Black Game Developers Exist?
What I think the OP is getting at is that within the Black community across the US (not sure about the rest of the world), game development as an artist, programmer, producer or whatever has a huge stigma attached: "never going to happen", "it's for white and Asian people...", "I could never do anything like that..".… -
Re: Avatar trailer
exactly, I don't go see many movies in the theaters at all I just don't see all the 'hype' showing anything that I'm interested in. The 3D may blow me the fuck out of my seat but I don't think sitting in a theater with glasses on is next gen. It just doesn't appeal to me. I hate crowds, and why not wait a couple months let… -
Re: will there be any more contests?
Making normal maps a requirement pretty much sunk the elemental contest. I'd suggest using CGchat as an example of how to successfully set up a challenge. They allow normal maps but do not make it a requirement. It allows people to choose what they are most comfortable with. I've always approached the contest with the… -
Re: Layoffs at TimeGate.
I was a little tossed up on weather to respond to this or not but fuck it... Good art can come from anywhere and doesn't need to be tied to a big title. Some of my favorite "game art" doesn't exist in any game, it comes from challenges or something someone did in their spare time. Artists have to start somewhere. Do your… -
Re: Hand painting practise - crits please!
Thanks SupRore and Dan! I too feel that 3 looked a little washed out, i also think the under lighting adds interest, so i guess i'll push forward with the first variation. "Don't cheap out and just blob it into there"....BUSTED! thought i'd get away with that too ;) Will tighten stuff up tommorrow, think i will remove all…
