Re: Creating Art for Competitions
Its a bloody mess. Thats why i would never go into graphic design. Things like MyHammer and all these contest sites are a disgrace and they totally destroy graphic, webdesign (etc) Yea some of the contests here and elsewhere that are not as bad and they really showcase the artists, and its more of a competition between… -
Re: VFX in Los Angeles 100 hour weeks & homeless
First of all I don't support exploitation of young people. I saw similar outragious anecdotes in Toronto's animation industry where studios hire 4-year university grads for full time unpaid "intern" positions (dig up canadiananimationresources site's archives). But I can understand why this guy did what he did. No career… -
Re: New polycount! woo!
Congrats. The forums look great, I would only suggest to use placeholder avatars (even if just a 1pxl frame) for users who dont have any, as posts without avatar are harder to focus on. The main pages looks ok but isn't as functional. This boxes design makes little sense to me, especially when not always using images. The… -
Re: Does Unpolished Placeholder/Pre-Alpha Assets Help Sell A Game?
First impressions are EVERYTHING, even with video games. Most of your average gamer/regular person will not be able to see past the ugly art to understand its "Alpha". Even when you say this is "alpha" work and not representative of the final product. Thats the image that sticks in there mind when they remember your game.… -
Re: Development Cycle Watermark
[ QUOTE ] As an example: I volunteered at the DAoC roundtable this weekend, since it was local. We had about 400 or so players come together to hear about the new expansion, answer questions, and just interact with the developers. I had a blast, even though I only worked on one expansion pack for a few months, getting to… -
Re: Gigantic!
@marks I think there are a few major things that make it stand out from the current popular MOBA's 1st: The fact that the game relies on aiming like you would in a 3rd/1st person game (Smite is basically a 2d game as height doesn't exist when aiming in that game) so it instantly appeals to people who enjoy that sort of… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - November & December 2017 (51)
@LucasJohansson That is looking nice! For the final product try bumping the antialiasing and/or resolution, i see jagged edges! (or maybe it's the crappy jpeg resolution) @Remicess Good job on that! It has the most detail from all people who chose that.. However, you took the time to add some green mucus from the sea, why… -
Re: Warhammer Online release on Sept 18
"Props to the dude in the vid with the 'I greentooth PC' print out" That would be me. They told us at the last second we'd be able to hold up signs if we wanted and after some ideas that didn't make the cut I figured why not give some love back to Polycount. After all I probably would have never left THQ after 6 years to… -
Re: This guy has to be kidding, right? ... RIGHT!?!?!?
[ QUOTE ] let the old stuff rest in peace, the emulators are already here for those who really want that sort of thing. [/ QUOTE ] Have you tried emulating any of the CD based systems? I don't know about the gamecube, but emulation on the PSX has always been a total headache and I don't know if there's even anything… -
Re: New Computer time!
an 80+ 650w PSU is enough to power anything short of SLI 285s/295s(183w x2 or 289w x2). And with the SLI 285 you're still probably fine. Now if you're getting some generic 650w PSU that has 55% efficiancy, then yeah you've got a point. There seems to be this myth that you need a 1000w PSU to power a modern computer, when…
