Using Unreal Engine Assets in Portfolio: Industry Standards?
Hi everyone! I'm aiming to become an environment artist, mainly in the film industry, but I'm also open to working in gaming as well. So far my experience has been primarily with Maya and my portfolio reflects that. Recently, I started exploring Unreal Engine and of course noticed the vast library of 3D assets and textures… -
Re: Any Other "Big" Engines Comin'
Tan... I really wish I could find a link definitively saying the Fox engine will have a indie/subscription/educational release. Have u found anything? Also... Major face-palm to all the noise second guessing yer GI aspirations. I remember the same scanline is more than enuff... No need for GI when it all can be faked… -
Re: Crowd Funding, i.e. My Woes With it
Not necessarily just about brink but worth noting that in general most multiplayer focused games will bomb if they don't go F2P (I suspect brink will be the last big commercial example of this), even if they do go F2P they will usually still bomb if they aren't well promoted. Multiplayer games centralize around a catch 22,… -
Re: Creating a Modular Weapon Pipeline
My colleague Ben Garnell, who also worked on some borderlands 2 stuff said that was all just flat faces where different parts met, didn't sound too complicated (but that's just hearsay). I think if you want to mix a lot of crazy, very different guns, it's the only way. it just gets too hard to combine otherwise. We did… -
Re: Horror gameplay perspective

Re: The Answer to Any Question Isn't Really Very Helpful
It's no argument that there's incomplete and invalid information out there. The problem is it takes time to sort through it all and try to set everything straight. Writing up a couple pages of technical information, cross checking it, validating it and packaging up examples takes a lot of time and experience. The question… -
Re: Communication javascript and maxscript
sorry for the late reply,- although I have not yet been experimenting with communication between MS and JS or html through ports/ sockets or with the help of additional tools - I was able to communicate more or less with an embedded html / JS within max. it requires though that the html or JS file that is used is run… -
Re: UDK Dungeon Environment
Gosh, I wish I could just open up your level and click all the check boxes to activate features... You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a…
