Hiring 30 to 60 AAA artists on short notice and making them work as a team from day one isn't that easy. There are set plans when the team will have to ramp up and ramp down and if this doesn't happen then schedules slip and the client's project has a problem. You don't want to pay those guys freelance rates either,…
24. yeah, this has been talked about tons of times, but with the way maya handles the selection list you'd have to monitor the selection in order to determine the component selection order, and even then marquee selections are troublesome. There might be a way with python though? I have no idea 27. I could be waaay off…
For me having a layout that is easy to paint on is key to saving time and sanity. I also need to pass the assets I work on, to other people so having a good logical layout is very important. If I "need" to, later I'll repack to another UV channel and render the first channel to the second. Often for this I end up using the…
It's pretty standard what mechanics charge these days, 80 to 100 an hour plus parts. So I'm kind of expecting it to be close 200 usd, which blows but whatever. I'll be draining as much brake fluid as I can and replacing it tomorrow then I'll be going to a place that deals with that and have them flush out the brake system…
KP is dead on. I hit my slump when I was working at 5000ft. Even as shitty as times were when we were working on Daredevil, I loved it. Every damn second. Why? Because I loved the art. The game, the gamestyle and the gameplay. I loved it all. After Marvel canceled the game on us, we were told that we'd be doing Escape from…
Played it for about 2 hours so far, I really like the look of it (it looks better when you play in it than when you watch videos of it :p ) I picked the vanquisher, it feels really cool spamming that bouncy arrow skill :D I'm sad that theres no customizable hotkeys :( I hate 1-0 hotkeys (well, 1-4 is ok, but 5-0 its not so…
[ QUOTE ] Xsi has whatever selection mode you select on startup. [/ QUOTE ] I leave it on the default setting. XSI Beginner Mod or something. I forget cause it only asked you the first time after you install, then you have to reset it for it to ask you again. Every application I try to get used to on default settings,…
Anthony (Autocon), I've always been a fan of COD and never understood the blatent hate (like Transformers or any Michael Bay film is the same) so it's not just working here. Are there things to fix? Oh hell yeah there are a lot of things that could be improved just like any other game has it's issues. I would LOVE to push…
1. Well, I know I'm doing something wrong hahahaha. I wanted the barrel to be etched outwards, it was a conscious idea. I played with both engrave and plated, and decided plated looks better in my opinion. It really could have gone either way. 2. I tried to hide seams. I hate battling against seams, so I tried my best to…
End-of-year update :) Small update to wrap up the year. Over the past weeks I’ve been pushing this scene out of early blockout and into a final graybox / art blockout stage. The overall layout and vertical flow are now largely locked, and I’ve started replacing primitives with my own modular meshes from Blender to properly…
