I definitely find the environment creation side of things to be more interesting than characters. I made that interior a few years ago but I remember creating part of the base mesh for that environment, another student did the shading and rendering in Octane, another props and stuff. Bardler, the reason I'm posting on…
Motion Blur makes movies presentation, not games. http://blog.unionfilms.org/2012/12/23/the-hobbit-an-unexpected-journey-a-technical-review/ For those who don't want to click the link, it's talk about the Hobbit the issue of progressive frames vs. old school 24 with and without motion blur, here is the image: I think the…
Why hello, people of polycount. I drew this sketch yesterday: I'd like to take it to a finished concept level. After re-reading the thoughts on this thread, I set things up a little differently layer-wise than I typically work (I.E. actually using layers): And without the lines: That's what I've got so far. Every color is…
Oh my god, its like you are working at the studio I am working at. But I guess its like this in allot of places. Especially the smaller studio's who are working with self developed tech. I do try to speed up my own workflow and have tons of shortcuts or actions recorded in Photoshop that turn costly time consuming 1hour+…
I'm guessing you've learned this by now, but once you've baked your normals you generally shouldn't touch the vertex normals(smooth edge/harden edge/lock/unlock, etc.) as the normal map only matches the low poly's vertex normals as they were when you baked. Also, try to get as good bake as possible from your baking…
Could base the body on a piece of kitchen equipment. And why not have the bot make hot water internally? He could be a saucier, or a soup chef who could use such capacity. and it would add that steamed angry character. And as far as making sense: you're building an intelligent food service robot. Belief is already way…
Its not that difficult, I often get in arguments etc with other posters, but as a moderator, I try to simply avoid doing any moderation in topics that I am also posting in, except in extreme cases when a thread just needs to be shut down. IMO as a moderator, I try not be biased against someone who I simply disagree with.…
phase 10: tank game 2 - a sequel I think new members should have to take an IQ test... but it shouldn't be retroactive. I don't want to lose my membro-ships. Yah, and to the guy who doesn't know anything about a tank game... come on. Seriously dude. It's an effing tank game. I'm sold, so why don't you get on board?…
Yeah I gotta agree with Rick here. I read this comment recently on LinkedIn and I think it sums it up: "If the intern is going to contribute work to a live, paid project then they should absolutely be paid, not to do so would simply be immoral. The level of pay can be low, i.e. around min wage, but given that most…
You mean why this and how is this any different from others? Simple. If you ever been to those type of chats they talk more about random stuff and fool around then ask for constructive critiques or help from each other, their critiques are poor and not very helpful. This one was more for those who are actually determined…
