Hello. I never use dodge/burn. I tried to do some radiosity effects with black gradient on a separate layer with an "overlay" blending mode. I suck at 3D lighting (and maybe this comes from the fact I've worked a lot under the very low poly constraints where lighting is only self illu), I'm not used to occlusion stuff. As…
Wow great feedback!! Really appreciate that :) "Techniques of Dylan Cole: Introduction to Landscape Matte Painting" looks really helpful, will try to get it :) Using reference seems to be key when matte painting. @mark Dygert Yeah some strokes are really loosly drawn, but I didn't really erased a stroke just painted over…
I thought it was alright. I was hoping the original L4D cast would be involved more; and I really did not like that dialogue exchange between Francis and Rochelle. This campaign certainly felt the creepiest out of any of the L4D2 maps, particularly the music cues. I thought the new uncommon-common survivor zombie was…
LCD is crap, maybe if you can drop like 2000 dollars on a flat panel then it will look as good as a CRT, my favourite is the LCD monitors that come with a glass screen infront of the LCD screen so it generates just as much glare as a regular CRT monitor, who ever came up with that design is a genius. Also for those working…
i dont know why this conversation is happening considering both that new consoles are coming out and that "massive studios" have been in a financial spiral since like 2008, with the exception of activision which stagnates on wow and cod money.

Im just looking for some feedback about post-graduate computer game courses in the UK. Or in face any options open to computer game graduates in the UK. Just to explain my situation: I am a recent graduate with a small portfolio. There are little to no game companies in my area. There is also the consensus that with so…

It really does come down to that lol. Also I fail to see how cupping a f*ing mouse and right-clicking to ironsight for hundreds of hours in COD compares IN ANY WAY to actually firing a weapon effectively in real life.
Nothing wrong with not having much of a story, I actually meant it as a compliment :) It's usually best to keep things simple when it comes to these types of games, trying too hard usually ends up messy...like the recent COD games.
