Re: Rebellion Studios sues Ironclad over name " Rebellion:
What a load of bullshit, this is up there with trademarking saga, fuck it lets just trademark every word in the dictionary as either a company or the same generic game, infact could create a game giving it the longest name in history, just the dictionary back to front, then we can just sue everyone that uses it or at least… -
Don’t use gamma on normal maps
I shared this on LinkedIn, might help some people here too. Don’t use Gamma on normal maps Normal maps should be saved in linear color space, without color correction from Gamma or sRGB. A lot of game PBR texture pipelines use sRGB color space, which is fundamentally very similar to Gamma 2.2. It’s so close, they’re pretty… -
Newbie with questions! [/lame thread name]
Hello everyone! (or should I say, hello polycounters? :3 ) I've been interested in modeling for some time now, as I did like 4 years ago too. 4 years ago I found an excellent free modeling program, but I totally forgot everything about what it was/how I found it.

Re: Naming your mesh objects in Maya or other 3D software
Just learn to use naming conventions, it takes very little effort upfront but can lead to huge benefits later on when the project gets big.

Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
Hello everyone, I'd like to know your opinion on the widespread use that many developers are making of Megascans (to name one example) and other paid or free asset packs in their one-person or small-team development projects. It's not just once or twice or three times that I've recognized the same asset pack in different,… -

Re: the kevin bacon game

[/ QUOTE ] since it seems to have gotten missed the first time.. [/ QUOTE ] This is a better game than the Kevin Bacon game. Linking to the… -
Classic Art Inspiration for Game Artists
Hey folks, For years now I've been noticing how disconnected we are from classical art as digital artists. There is such a treasure trove of brilliant creative thought and yet we still usually go to the same 3 places as source of inspiration. The OGs have some amazing takes on dramatic lighting, environment composition or… -
So I'm looking for this game and forgot the name..
Maybe you guys can help me out, because no amount of google searching is finding anything.. It's on PC, was recently featured on Kotaku I believe and was talked about as being very similar to XCOM, but set on a space station. The art style was more retro, with sprites and backgrounds that looked a bit like Chrono Trigger.…
