Re: Hand Painted Portfolio - Review
Ok. Some critic. (Sorry for my poor english) First thing I see once I've entered your Portfolio is a Video which's still screenshot is of that goblin character you did for the hero's lodge, which is kinda unfortunate I guess (if you're focusing on environments at least)... I'd put an still of an environment there.… -
Re: Quake 3 turns 10 years old - has technology advanced as you once thought it might?
I think part of the issue is the over-hyping of technology when it is a few years off. I remember five years ago seeing stuff that was going to be 'next-gen' that had WAY higher polygon counts and texture sizes than we actually have at this point. The idea that characters would have 50k polygons and 4k textures as a… -
Re: Horror gameplay perspective
The most important thing I'm trying to figure out is how to get a good balance for a lengthy horror game. I think story is very significant. But the thing is, true horror, still has no recent titles in mainstream. But I believe that a slow transition is being made as the original Dead Space proved. Survival horror is still… -
Re: Physicaly based viewport shader for max?
I am not sure there are any freely available. I wish there were some nice PBR viewport shaders for max. Meanwhile, wouldn't the built-in mental ray and it's custom shaders suffice if you are just looking for some portfolio renders? I know it's not real-time, but the Realtime and Offline rendering worlds have been… -
Re: PETROL/BLOOD Mike8917
Hey guys, here's the driver! Not textured yet. About to go into quixel now. Just made his beard :) just a 1k alpha that I split up and painted on his face with object paint. Now as you can see, I've had to cut a few corners. It's also most likely riddled with anatomy errors, but unfortunately I'll have to leave them for… -
Re: most games are not becoming better!!!!
I have to disagree with some of you guys. I feel that in some areas, this generation of consoles is very, very different from the previous ones. Online multiplayer, DLC's, achievement/trophy systems had made quite an impact on the way games are played and the way the function. Some of the design principles had changed too;… -
Re: Tutorial: Character with Haind-painted textures
@sketch81: Thanks! @dustinbrown: Yes, I have to fix that. I noticed that before but thanks for reminding me. @frell: I don't use any special brushes. I use the default round one sometimes and a square one at other times. I use very high transparency when painting in highlights/shadows(about 4 or 11 strength in DP3d).… -
Re: RAGE Tool Kit
From what I understand from our engine guys at work, it has the potential to run much faster than vertex-blended layered textures. Generally, blended textures create overdraw up the wazoo and the more layers you have (ie the more "next-gen" and "totally awesome" you want your mats to be), the worse it runs. It eats dev… -
Re: Degree and College Advice
I graduated from DigiPen, it was my ticket out of the midwest as an 18 year old. I don't recall where I placed that piece of paper but it does manage to sap my income every month. HOWEVER as much as paying for school sucks, I have a huge network of other DigiPen-related people which makes it much easier now. I learned a… -
Re: News worth a read?
I am too in the favor of their action upon the teenage-adult gamers but still though. I personally do not have time to play too much game in one day because I have soo much other stuff to do like school work, job, personal studies and practices. After every day if I get a chance to play one Starcraft game or one League of…
