depends. I tinker around with little code or art experiments often triggered from stuff I come across work or I look into topics that interest me which I encounter during work. When I play games it's often because I'm too tired to do any of that, but not sleepy enough to actually go to bed. That's why I like casual games.…
Thanks guys., I know the grass is rather green and flat :D will make things less perfect once I have finished the mesh. Needs a polish on all tex and normals especially. I`ll work on the windows and water. Bishop : yea the sky is stretching because its just a Marmoset sky, I`ll prolly replace that at some point with my own…
I probably worded it badly.. um, pretty much every script author whacks his script into it's own category in 'MainUI' .. finding them can be a bit of a hassle sometimes. a quick tooltip with this information might be helpful. but come to think of it, it probably doesn't make sense that you code this into maxscriptmanager…
Hi, I'm Bal's brother and I coded a lazymouse like app for him called LazyNezumi. I'm sorry but I don't have Vista and don't plan on switching to it (ever). This app is using some undocumented Windows tricks so I'm not surprised if it doesn't work at all in Vista. When a window is hooked you will see a rectangle appear…
Rorshach, Please understand that I consider Epic a game studio I see my self ending up at later on in my carreer. If this follow question comes as too invasive. Please allow me to apologize. I am curious. How does epic devide up the work load on the art side? Where I am, it's as fallows: 1. Concept Artist 2. Environmental…
I've seen level designers run the whole gamut, as far as their artist skills are concerned. At some studios level designers only grey box out the flow and that's IT. That's what a lot of people have been describing here, but I don't actually see that too much. Those are the more pure designers who are also working on…
take the text off... having a warning about the primary function of a tool actually written on the tool doesn't make any sense at all... my lamp has a warning on it that says if I turn it on it will illuminate the surrounding area... it doesnt make it sci fi by any means necessary... the only thing it comes close to is…
Justin Meisse I'm not asking about thread titles in particular... When I say "project" I refer to anything from written works to sculpture to (insert whatever a project can be here). I think you've come up with a good idea for naming stuff, though. Having a sounding board to throw things at and riff off of seems to be a…
Well good, I've hit a few people with examples like that and their brains explode so you're probably in good shape to pick it up. Its the most artist friendly language I've seen. For the most part if people can record actions in PhotoShop they can "write" simple scripts that save time. A bunch of those people can take it…
I think you're asking for more painting techniques then quick and dirty photochoppery tutorials where people seem to have some magic overlays they always use? For the quick and dirty choppery overlay route, you might want convert it to B/W before overlaying. Have you been trying out ALL the blend modes? Overlay and…
