Re: Is it wrong to take a break?
That depends on what you can afford. Can you afford to take time off? Can your portfolio afford to take a break? Assuming that most grads leave with below average portfolios I wouldn't count on it getting you a job now and it probably won't get you a job in 6mo. Can you afford to have employers asking "so you graduated XX… -
Re: An exercise in modular textures - Scifi lab UDK
The scene uses 1.3 mb of uncompressed texture memory for the entire environment. (not counting the lightmaps or the skydome) Its kind of hard to estimate how much more it would have used if it was unique instead, but probably 30-40 mb or so. As for framerate its no gain per se. If it was all unique it would be the same… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
next-ish gen is a quad core: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmvJxbHWZSU&feature=plcp&context=C3347722UDOEgsToPDskJGD-axVxavfFmOaMqsCKI2"]NVIDIA Tegra 3: Shadowgun - YouTube[/ame] kind of serious... Wouldn't it be amazing if the realtime cinematic software 2020 roadmap was ushered in with a phone that output a… -
Re: Far Cry 4
Farcry 4 PC doesn't run that well for me. In the prologue mission I was getting between 30 and 20 on high, dropped the graphics settings to all low/off (textures on high), got 40-30 in the prologue mission. In the open world I get between 50-30 on low/off with textures on high, and then in the village, i get 30-mid 20s on… -
Re: What to do?!
Really not the kind of decision anyone here can help you with. You know the variables more than we do (how much are they willing to pay? how smoking hot is your GF?). I kid but the devil's in the details, only you can really plan your life and know what you want, but the fact you posted this kinda shows you really can't… -
Re: Why am I being charged monthly for providing free sample pack? (Gumroad)
Tbh even 250 a month isnt expensive compared to some other email list options like mailchimp or awebber. If you have an email list of 10k people and cant figure out how to make atleast 250 a month thats just bad business. 10k subs at a conservative 2-4% conversion rate on a even a 40 dollar product nets you $8-16k. Thats… -
Re: The overuse of Red in Team based games.
But have you ever experienced a Purkinje shift in a game (especially a colorful one like Quake or UT where it would be very obvious)? Unless you have your cones are still working fine and doing their job, and the blue-shift is irrelevant. From the full study you linked: " In sum, these studies generally concur that the… -
Re: ever feel like changing direction?
go for it, it's expanding your skillset. I've actually been mulling this idea over in my head for a while, programmers are flexible and can find work anywhere, why do game artists shoehorn themselves? I recently switched to character art because there were no full time environment positions at my current studio. It's a bit… -
Re: Game Industry Recruiter Taking In Questions
@ironbelly I had to sit down and think about this one, right now I think the quantifiable number is 60% who you know and 40% ability. By knowing someone within the studio it creates an up swell of good faith, a friend bringing in another to the group thus giving more leeway to the culture fit aspect of hire. If an artist… -
Re: A new mesh painting tool (WIP)
"The one I been using was a old version of bodypaint but the price is ridiculous high. around 1000usd." You pointed a very important detail here, the price can also mark the way to go with features. For example, what would be the ideal price for a software that give you powerful painting tools, arround 80% of what…
