Re: nDo2 - How to make an Environment Tutorial
This is a really great tutorial aajohnny, Thanks for sharing it! When I was working on my Deus Ex environment a while back I was using the original nDo script to accomplish something similar. You did a kick ass job. I love nDo's integration with so many parts of Photoshop (shapes, curves, painting, etc) as well as the… -
Re: Popping my Win7 cherry
Well, not to be argumentative, but i'm not switching to win7 for UI tweaks, but: better driver support, xp64 is pretty dead better cpu/ram usage, again XP 64 isn't too great with a quad core and 8 gigs of ram optimized for SSD No longer having the XP syndrome of your computer getting slower and slower over time - I've been… -
Re: Image Heavy-Textures, props, and Personal - First Post (sorta)
Yep, the marking menus are awesome, I use them all the time. It's just like mouse gestures in a web browser (or old game like Black & White :) ). In some ways it's better than hotkeys because you can have all the context-sensitive stuff on one hotkey which pops up the marking menu, then different gestures off that result… -
Re: How does Draw Call Work?
This is really engine-specific. It certainly depends on how your engine handles draw calls, how well/if command buffers are used, what optimizations your engine might due to the data you send it, etc. So really, knowing what does and does not constitute depends on the engine, and only in-engine tools, PIX, etc. can really… -

Re: Portfolio advice
I wrote Photoshop, zbrush etc. I wouldn't hire a texture artist who only knows Substance Designer. What happens when he has to hand paint some decals or sculpt some details for a baroque environment and so on? Then he becomes a burden because someone else has to do it. Basics are important for an artist. I mean the… -
Re: 2D engines/frameworks
I'd go for Flash. It's multi-platform, works in web browsers, no need for installers etc. Actionscript3 is a nice object-oriented language and there are some cool frameworks and custom classes like Box2D and Flixel. You can use flash authoring tool to design levels/create assets etc :) Learning actionscript is going to… -
Re: Filenaming, what's your way?
I do not really enumerate for final version or sorting. But View files sorted by date anyway. in which case filename should help me discern if the last file modified is final or just an edit state. But for some reason I can not get expected behavior from any of the Date details like Date Modified Date last saved Date… -

Re: Ideas for small, yet effective projects.
Start small, do not pick something with a lot of shapes, something like an ammo box like Drav said. Something where you can focus on perfect topology on simple objects, something easy to Unwrap UV's, texturing, etc. Really just be able to hit each stage of the prop creation at full force without the frustration of…
