Re: London Polycount meet: 11th February 2017 - The Parcel Yard, King's Cross - 4pm-11pm!
A guaranteed minimum spend of £550 between 30 people is nearly £20 per head. I wouldn't take that deal, tbh, as it's hard to know how many people will actually be there (15? 40? who knows?). Hopefully you can talk them out of it. Maybe try the Loading Bar in Dalston? They have a basement room that can accommodate a group… -
Re: Gameloft accused of illegal, dangerous working conditions
Snacuum, there is an easy fix. Find another job if your job is shitty. Shitty jobs are everywhere. You can fly to China right now and work in a child sweatshop if you want. The problem is that far too few people are fiscally responsible enough to have enough money to quit a job and find a new one. Most jobs out there don't… -
Re: Free Knowledge
Funny thing, I've never use the built in search, I prefer google. Tho' I do miss the white bg, black text for ease of reading (same goes for here :P ). Speaking of oblivion: sadly I often find empty threads, missing attachments or closed sites especially when finding old content, whereas a wiki page could counter balance… -
Re: New budget system
Hey guys! I bought the system. However, I had to make some last minute changes. The 6870 cards are no longer in stock so I bought an XFX 6850 instead. I also bought a more expensive mobo which supports 1600mhz ram without overclock. I got the appropriate ram too :) Also, I decided to try my old FSP Bluestorm 500w PSU,… -
Re: The other half of the Starving Artist experience: Homeless Artist
I don't know what your typical contracts state, but every full-time game-industry contract I signed prevented me from selling my own work while working for an employer. This would limit my opportunities to smooth out the dips of income because I couldn't have a second stream of income from my work. Working a job outside… -
Re: looking for texture advice/crits
thanks Chris, wear and material definition, two things that just bake my noggin, believe it or not I spent a good 40 hrs on that diffuse, but I feel that a lot of the time I am just doing things that I then change back y'know? Do you skype at all? I'm not a fan of MSN. Oh yeah rv_el's Guile.....I have loved that piece for… -
Re: Show reel for crit
I agree with DireWolf. While watching your reel I was really confused on what aspect of CG you were showing off. I had to pause and look at your title to make sure you were a modeler. Also I think your reel is way too long. You're getting close to 4 minutes. I had my reel at 2 minutes and cut it down to 1:40 because I felt… -
Re: [UDK] Issue - Lighting Mesh - Gridded Shadows
Yup this is the issue even present in UDK demo map, umm forgot the name, but you know the new demo video that came with UDK where it shows plants and ruined ancient buildings, ah its called UDK day and night map i think :D . Seems like UDK dont like perpendicular lights on meshes, you will always get this issue. I have… -
Re: The first level editor/mod tool you ever used.
Acorn Electron Repton 3 (1986) map editor. Which if I recall, allowed you to edit the sprites as well so you could make your own graphics for it. Pretty awesome for its day. EDIT: ah..here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repton_(video_game) "Repton 3 includes a map editor along with the game, so that it became possible… -
Re: Project offset
I think what everyone needs to remember is that these are tech demos and serve very well at showing off the tech. The PO engine has some nice SSS fakes with transmission maps. Great destructable environments, character capsules (no clipping on the wood falling on the giant), particle effects, crowd simulators, and a sweet…
