The thing with the metadata is almost certainly true. I'm pretty sure one can circumvent it by simply importing the final .obj or .fbx file into another 3d package like Blender, then from there, exporting it into a new file. In terms of selling assets on sites like Turbosquid or the Unity asset store, you wouldn't really…
Maybe a week was an exaggeration but there is no way there were more than maybe 200 people playing after the first month. I remember the horrible hacker epidemic that never got solved because people with pirated copies of the game could still play online with everybody else (which led to endless hacking because of zero…
I view in game ads like I do product placement in TV and Movies. If they do it right no one cares, but if they do it wrong, it can spoil quite a bit. This is more cash by passing the middle men and going right to devs and publishers. It will start to make up the ground they lose to pirates and used game sales. If you don't…
Yep. Made up the name for a character I created for a game called Pirate Gold. Played an english man (didn't have scottish as option) but in the period I love Highlander. And since the game was about pirates I wanted a character who loved gold, so... Jack McGreed was created. :) Which since then have been my alias and…
Greetings Polycount ! maybe you guys remember my indie title : "pirates of new horizons" that i am periodically pimping ( and shamelessly bumped mere minutes ago ^^). to help finance the development of the full game we made a small match3 casual game set in the same universe showing of some concept art for the full game.…
I'm waiting for this. I've liked what I've heard so far (I'm not afraid). I also liked Relapse, though not as much as others. I'm glad to see him including so much of Detroit in this (the cover and videos). BTW, I'm assuming you got your hands on the pirated version? ;) I'm avoiding the d/l right now, because I plan to buy…
Hey Guys! Here are some WIPs. I've modelled the body and I'm deciding now the costume. I realized that the Rengar costume was based in pirates costumes. So I've decided to create a tradicional pirate costume. Maybe I change this a little, but here is the idea. Since I entered too late in the contest, I don't have time to…
When concepting this rifle, I lent heavily on the design and function of short muskets used by pirates, brutal and effective at close range. The were a hybrid between rifles and pistols. In much the same way this gun is a hybrid between the modern handgun and assault rifle. The QAR-M stands for the Queen Anne's Revenge, a…
hahaha - nope It was definately released. It's confusing because they for some reason have two different games with Age of Pirates in the title. Captain Blood has yet to be released, but Age of Pirates is out - I bought it. Thank you very much for the reply! I guess I'm going to have to track down maya 4.5 somehow... I…
Hum, maybe not a contest because the word "contest" make people go crazy about rule and law and in the end it became a mess, just an Handpaint Monthly Art Jam. That way, it allows people to do whatever they want and learn about technique. I'm all about the "meh baking AO on zbrush is cheating blabla" but that's the fast…
