Re: Organic environment... where to begin?
if you're creating this level in a modern engine, you're going to probably want to do it modularly or somewhat modularly. I generally design spaces using lego pieces (and i do the same with organic stuff) build out the tunnels as re-usable tunnel pieces... and change the props and lighting in the tunnel to make it look… -
Re: Sketchbook: peppi
Joseph, to be honest I'm not sure what to do with my old lopo/pixel stuff, I'd sure like to show it in some form but if I were to do a new website then the main priorities would definitely be my newer 3d work & conceptart/illustration. Sooo. Things have been piling up for quite some time, I set up a blog for my… -
Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
I'm curious to hear what others will say about this. What I am wondering right now is why your LP deviates so much from the HP. You say adding more geometry is more of a problem than a solution, but a normal map can only capture so much detail, especially when the LP and HP are so different from each other... Your cage… -
Re: My game asset creation learnings
Depends on the size of the team. Usually the level designer is not an artist. Instead they are a game designer, so they usually are building a whitebox environment. Whitebox = the whole level is made with white or untextured primitives, nothing pretty. It's all about the playability of the level. When the designer is done,… -
Re: Do Black Game Developers Exist?
D4V1DC I should have maybe elaborated on the 'personality' comment. I think as an employer you have a duty to not only get the most qualified person for the role but also try and maintain a good working environment. Most people's personalities I'm sure would fit the bill. Different studios/teams have different types of… -
Re: Unreal 2007 Mods "Nuts"?
There is ultimately no "create art" button, but that doesn't mean things can't be made easier. Here are a couple of ideas: Isn't it about time that an online deathmatch game had a built in "create your player" option (like an MMORPG, or Oblivion)? How about a lego-like player creation system that lets you snap custom… -
Re: Half-Timber Houses question
I'd say create a set of wall sections, each maybe 1/1 wall height/width. One with a window, one with a door, one with a chimney, a blank, etc. Use floating geo for the boards, lay them into each wall section. Then just lego the prefab sections together in the editor, mix n match for each house. You'll probably want corner… -
Re: Who's married, and how long?
Ben, sweet to have you posting here again. Congrats on getting hitched! 6mo will turn into 6 years before you know it =) Just celebrated 12 years of marriage on the 22nd. Stacy's a full time mom and picks up a few shifts here and there as a medical records tech. She definitely understands my job and my passion and totally… -
Re: Procedural cities
Honestly this isnt bad, and obviously this thing isnt generating the art that makes the buildings... All it seems to be doing is organizing lego like pieces that an artist creates into a city-like pattern. I do however believe that this would be a silly replacement for level design. Random level or map generation is kinda… -
Life is Strange - Max Caulfield [FINISHED]
LATEST: Maxine Caulfield Life is strange is a great game and while I like the visual style a lot, I'm interested in what a more realistic version of the main character would look like. I've chosen her outfit from Episode 3 as it's my favorite and looks like good cloth practice. :) Main Goals: * Likeness * Practice creating…
