Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
There was a video about stadia and they were streaming the latest tomb raider game. From what I remember, they stated that they used a 15mb internet to do that and the playback was around 24-30 fps. That sounds acceptable for me. I also live in a third world country as you may know, but around here, people with ok amount… -
Re: HEY, I am studying to be a 3D artist in the gaming environment and i need some infoabout theindustry
It depends on what sort of projects you work on. But to be honest, you should expect to do some form of crunch no matter where you go. I would agree that serious crunch is usually at the larger AAA studios creating cutting edge games. If you go to some studios that are already very established working on online games, you… -
Re: Baking vs Texture based normals
I too have often wondered if certain assets should not be baked. I am mainly concerned with architectural modular pieces. I was wondering if Earthquake could go into a little more detail on what you mean when you say "The only situation where you may not be able to tell a difference is if you're applying your texture to a… -
Re: Portfolio - Tim Chappell - 3D Artist
Some of your anatomy studies are really strong, especially the ones detailing muscle definition - however, as with all the images on your site, I'd have liked to have seen larger images. As they are right now, they're too small to see any sort of detail work, especially the bunk bed crazy bump image for example. Your 3D… -
Re: Dead Space 2: Anyone playing it?
EDIT: SPOILERS!!!! Just beat it a few days ago. I'm pretty disappointed with it. I adored the first Dead Space. It remains my favorite current-gen game. However, DS2 was less than rememberable in my opinion. I hated the story. Visceral kept saying this game is bigger, more action packed. I thought it was more confined. The… -
Re: To college or not to college
I didn't read over all of the posts here.. but I have to disagree with a few guys. Going to school might not teach you next gen techniques and all the fancy stuff, not every teacher might be art director in a famous studio, but you got a lot of people around who are mostly as dedicated as you to really get into the… -
Re: Fox Engine: The Core of MGS: Ground Zeroes
Yeah its awesome alright ;) I've replaced most of my sculpting pipeline with it. It's a time saver and an app worth purchasing if you've got a couple hundred lying about collecting dust. As today's direction into realism advances, who has time to productively create hand sculpted cloth anyway for an entire character… -
Re: Painted Textures
Just an FYI on tablets, Monoprice has a really good selection and they work absolutely fine. They are between about $30 and $50. I have product number 10594 and use it daily, most times 6-8 hours a day (sometimes more). Has performed perfectly in all that time (maybe about a year now?). Before that I had product 6814 (same… -
Re: My Year Long Trek
models were too low poly for current/next gen- I am guessing that they butchered their silhouettes and used low texture sizes. If you have any examples I could tell you for sure. IF your making a show piece, then throwing a bit of extra geo, or upping the texture size is fine. Just don't chuck polys at something and call… -
Re: Freelance advice needed please:
Its usually going to be like this, in my experience. Most regular folks will think they can spent between 50-200$USD and get a great next-gen character. After all its just "pushing a few buttons" right? Most have NO IDEA of the work that goes into the creation of a character and you arent just describing verbally they…
