Re: The Gaming Industry: How did you get in?
My path was fairly straight forward. A friend of mine told me he was doing contract level design for Legend Entertainment on Wheel of Time. I was doing level design for fun and decided to try to get in on that. I emailed the lead designer to express my interest and he hooked me up with some assignments. After a few months… -

iPod Touch 1G - UDK Remote (Help)
Hey guys, I've got an old iPod Touch 1G that used to successfully run UDK Remote without any issues at all. Due to apple completely irradicating my device, I have lost UDK Remote because the minimum version is: 5.0.1. I have contacted Epic regarding an IPA file of the first version of UDK Remote for older devices, to no… -
Re: Does making 3d characters really pays off ?
@Alex Javor Honestly I've been not follwoing what is happening at Epic, so I can't say what is about. I can only talk about places I've seen or what I've heard from other people. But I will say this - people have to accept that they might not be made for some of th top notch AAA-studios. You couldn't walk into Micheal… -
Re: How do people generally react when you tell them you're a 3D Artist?
I tell them it's like CAD engineering except that we don't have to care about statics or safety or anything. This takes away all the magic for them. If I want to impress people I go "you've seen shrek/toystory/whatever", "yeah!", "I work on stuff like that", "cool!" If I want to have my peace I just tell them I do mostly… -
Re: HighPoly To LowPoly Modeling
Yeah epic has definitely been breaking ground with visuals. and IDs new engine looks incredible, the lighting is breath taking, the same goes for epics new updates to Unreal.

Re: Why do you enjoy particular style? (fantasy, sci-fi, others)
When I think of military games, I always end up thinking about how they are team oriented. Fantasy is often about some epic hero who solo kills everybody, but in military games we rarely have a hero with superpowers, so we end up with a squad who does the job together. Reality is always dimmer than imaginary worlds :(… -
Re: Next! ... Fantasy Book Must Reads
Steven Erikson - The Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's a 10 book series that finished this year. Spans an entire globe and has an incredible sense of depth and history to it. Probably my favorite series [ used to be R R Martin]. Glen Cook - The Black Company: The Books of the North Very very good 'black fantasy' series of… -
Re: Strategy for combining 100 Texture sets (Blender > Substance > Blender > Unreal?)
Wow - you guy are THE BEST. Polycount experts dropping the knowledge! @pior that's a great tip, I had no idea and will take a look. @er@"Eric Chadwick" thanks for the amazing info and sorry for the generality of 'game ready'.. It's for VR on an Oculus with a 1070 GPU. The skeleton is the main focus of the experience, with… -
Re: next Gen + hand painted possible?
Yeah, it was a combo of a few factors: 1: having a large pool of talented painters (concept/diffuse people) who lacked tons of 3d experience but knew photoshop well & were supposed to drive the look of environments 2: having a large pool of pre-existing painterly diffuse maps 3: having a *very* distinct style-goal in mind…
