Re: "Have you played your video games today?"
I completely support the idea of games (and other interactive applications) being used for education. I'd rather work for a team that creates these types of games. Why read from a textbook when you can see, feel, manipulate? Take the processing of today's next-gen systems, and explore planets, ancient civilizations, the… -
Re: Free Maya/max cgfx/fx Shader
yup, that was the problem with a fresh installation of a new 9600 GSO card, with 185.something drivers. New drivers came out this month, so I wanted to update, and wasn't sure if Beta 4 worked with anything above the 175 driver roll-back that seemed to fix the banding issue for most (as it worked for me, too). And no… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
yeah I agree with the last four posts here. If you must time constrain yourself that much id at least give 2 days even for simple props...therefore you can finish it,post it up,sleep (while the polycount vultures tear it apart :) ) and then wake up and work on the crits comments. However yeah I don't agree with doing a… -
Re: King Kong game ultra high end version
[ QUOTE ] I'm guessing these are XBox 360 assets ported directly to the PC. Gives you an idea how powerful the console is going to be if you compare the minimum specs for this thing. [/ QUOTE ] having played the 360 version at comp usa with poop and jeffro i can say these are NOT 360 assets.. the 360 version is way more… -
Re: WIP art dump
All in all you should work on finishing up some stuff like that brick wall or the robotic arm. Or make some new stuff, the main point being: finish what you start. Your "City Way" looks alright and could be salvaged with a better lighting setup and some more texture work. You should also crack open a game editor or two to… -
Re: Gears2 Environment Art
Hey Kevin, amazing work, really appreciate you posting this here. You Epic guys are really the epitome of next-gen :) I do have a question: Don´t you ever think that you´re putting too much detail in these highpoly meshes? So much that it will never all translate to the normalmaps? I´m just wondering because there´s a… -
Re: [WIP] Subway
yes you want to keep things as low poly as you can if they aren't used well but right now I would say this scene is really low poly. Like last gen stuff (ps2, xbox) The ps3 and 360 can handle tons of polys (tris) It is usually the texture resolutions that will make the biggest difference in performance. And you could use a… -
Re: Character and Enviroment freelance fee's
For those example props, I'd say 100 - 1000 dollars is about right, depending on volume of work. A single elaborate fountain might be close to 1k$, but with a contract to do 20 or so of them, 500$ per elaborate asset might be fine, since there would be some reuse of decorative bits and there would be a streamlined… -
Re: Game Noir?
The trick would be not to use the old assets but you the source of the old assets to create ones that are current gen. I bet there are like hundreds of high poly barrels and boxes and trashcans and what not created that all pretty much look the same. Same goes with realistic weapons and veichles. Also there are good… -
Re: Robo
Ya I guess you could have shaved 50 polys off maybe on those front plates and legs ,or you could use those polys to make it even more curvy since your already under poly budget , but really over-all it's a very good use of polys for how curvy it is that's all I was saying ..it kinda bothers me when people get so picky…
