Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Thanks for the reply. I have a basic understanding of the maths behind it, like I know about matrices, vectors, dot products etc. Although I know about them I don't fully understand them all, nor could I write and solve an equation on paper with them without much help. There isn't anything really big getting in the way, I… -
Re: [What do you want from] Asset Stores?
At the moment the domain is owned by the online store creator i'm using and it's only my assets at the moment. I plan to allow other to use the service when established. Creators will take 75% of the earning and the website will take 25%. The site will strive upon providing high quality content that is thoroughly reviewed… -
Re: Portfolio etiquette and copyright concerns
In my honest opinion, Art is art... and you can do whatever you want to express your art as long as you do not steal other people's work and claim it as your own. Certainly it is important to document your work and state what parts you did or did not work on. Just as it is important to state where you get your inspiration… -
Re: Best budget laptops right now
Are you planning on doing 3D work on it? If so, what kind? Zbrush high poly modelling, Substance Painter etc can be fairly demanding, so you would need a pretty serious laptop for that. If you are just doing some modelling and basic texturing, you could easily do that on your budget. If you don't plan on doing 3D work, you… -
Re: Microsoft Surface
Again, samsung slate lets you use multitouch screen with finger etc, and stylus for finer browsing, writing or art. Again, i very much doubt Microsoft will take a step back from a pressure sensitive multitouch tablet with Wacom stylus support. One of the big advantages over the ipad is that you can run photoshop, painter… -
Re: Self-Learning Path: Doing a bunch of small projects instead a huge one?
I also learn on my own and I do a mix between big projects and and small ones. I mostly do small ones and focus on techniques like hard surface modeling or baking textures etc. I want to get those techniques down so I can go further in the pipeline. When you make a big project though (I did one big UE4 scene with lighting… -
Re: Non-violent video games
Ken levine has some interesting things to say on this topic http://www.gamefront.com/ken-levine-on-bioshock-infinite-violence-is-essential-to-narrative/ I think it was him who was basically explaining that computers are good at physics simulations so most of our games involve that, driving, flying, shooting etc etc. We… -
Re: Creating Buildings and Levels With Pieces?
Yes, it's called modular building, and so far as I know, it is the standard practice for creating levels - Gears, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, etc. all do it. It makes things easier and allows you to change levels and designs on the fly without remodeling or retexturing anything. It also saves on texture space and… -
Re: Suite dDo, Where is all the Wear?
Yup, except now you get to use custom textures to mask instead of procedural photoshop filters. as well as getting more hands on control of parameters. Before there was basics like angle, scale, randomness, now you get brightness, contrast, wide range of controls, sharpness, quick invert etc , on each individual texture… -
Re: Try Our Free Android Games
Hi there Cody, You've posted here a few times advertising your company's games which is generally okay for contributing members, but you seem only to throw up a post and leave. You are not posting the game up for discussion, criticism's etc, just plopping it in for marketing sake. That tends to reflect badly on the game.…
