Yes you can be laid off on the spot. Just like you can quit on the spot. That's the upside/downside of "at will" employment. The standard practice is to give 2 weeks when you quit, and companies usually pay 2 weeks severance, more if you've worked there longer. This is for full time employment, if you are…
The normal map only stores the differences in slope between the highpoly Zbrush model and the lowpoly in-game model. When the slopes are similar, the normal map will be very plain-looking, and when it is applied to the lowpoly model it will look like it did before being normal mapped. You use a normal map to grab all those…
Recently I was asked to create a low poly version of the Leatherback Kaiju from the film Pacific Rim for a mini game in the PlayStation 3 HOME square. He was to fight against Gipsy Danger. To do this I was given a turntable video of the original Kaiju model and the actual 3D model which was used for the film. This was over…
That shader looks awesome, showed it to our programmer. Saints Row 2 used straight up rooms inside of buildings, but smashed with a perspective corrected texture. If you get close to them and observe, it's like "smooshed on depth" but riding around it looks neat, even if the art in that game is a bit goofy and the game…
Your environment studies are beautiful. personally I would mix up the ladies in the beginning, its pretty much the same image 5 times in a row, we get it, you can paint pretty ladies. there is also some wonky anatomy in them at places. I feel like there is no real weight to the legs on the fist one. you also have some…
Alright, my loops were off by one number and I was't accessing the colors as arrays. I've definitely learned. Thank you so much guys, it works perfectly now. If there is one thing I could change though, it would be to print the hex in capitalized letters - right now they're lower cased. Here is my final code: fStream =…
Hey guys, it's been a really long time since the last update. I wasn't too motivated to post anything new here until I had something really interesting to post because of the lack of feedback, critics and comments I had on my latest posts. After 2-3 weeks now, I have entirely re-done my barrel and also 2 more crates for my…
thx for the word throne room ^^ i knew it was no church but it had similar architecture and I didnt had a word for it tried to fix the proportions all day tried various things like changing the number of pillars, FOV, camera position etc i hope this is close enough the cube is 2 meter high, based on the chair and the…
Like Marie I haven't had a lot of good experiences working in studios, first job I did was about 2 years at a tiny studio (me and 2 other guys including the manager,) where the manager would swear like crazy at his PC every 5 minutes and take out his bad mood on the employees. After finishing there I started working…
Well, I'm not going to pick for you :D but here's what i think: #1 seems the most bestial-- the frontal profile of the legs and chest are very equine in appearance. That and the arch of his back and the angle of his rear legs makes me think that he would be able to raise up on the hind legs. Not that it's essential one way…
