Bigjohn - Thanks dude! Mmm as far as texture process goes, I'd say similar to what the dota 2 texturing guide does. Except I usually waste more time painting in the directional lighting and handpainting some key or fun parts ;) BoBo - Thanks man I appreciate it! It was great getting to work you with and the rest of the…
I'd be surprised if they used it for HL3, but there's the F-Stop thing that was developed for Portal 2, but got shelved because there wasn't any portals in a Portal game. Maybe some kind of kinetic storage weapon. Left click pulls kinetic energy out and fills the gun up, right click releases it. Say you're facing a Combine…
Thanks guys, especially to everyone that replied to my survey :) I've now got over 60 replies, so that's good for me to start analysis on the results and to draw conclusions from with a reasonable margin of error/confidence level. Many thanks! So... that's the documentation bit out of the way for now... so now I'm thinking…
thats not good enough you have to show that in the absence of the secondary market the bulk volume of used sales would equal purchases of new games. that is totally theoretical and open to wild speculation. it is the exact same argument that the MPAA makes regarding piracy even the MPAA does not have the balls to make that…
And lastly... I'm not too keen on the girder. I feel I may have over done it with the rust and that the scratches aren't realistic enough. There wouldn't be that many scratches on it (if at all) as it's padded away anyway and wouldn't realistically get damaged The shutter door too, I'm aware the colouring between the door…
Oh boy, i had left my thread very unattended... and seems like the post i had intended to place in the beginning of the year was left as a draft. Well, the damage is already done, i suppose. But, i managed to finish within the given time! Continuing from the last post, now that i had a silhouette that i liked, it was time…
cheers guys its been bloody interesting year or so to say the least. Its not a glamorous business at all. the amount of legal involved is mind bending and the amount of crap that goes on behind the scenes is ridiculous. definitely not a business for the faint hearted. Its also amazing how many people are out to shaft…
this environment is looking great, one thing i noticed is with these shipping boxes. in my experience they only normally put the corner bits of cardboard on the top of the pallet/stack, as the point of it is to protect the boxes from being damaged by straps when loading them onto a truck, or by straps holding them to the…
Hey guys, I'm glad to see the variety of discussions in the thread, a couple of people are wondering why I didn't talk to someone at work about it instead of coming here on this forum where a lot of artists in the industry hang out. Well, first off I wanted to get as many different opinions as I could so that I could have…
I think there are kids who have encouraging parents and they go on to be successful at just about anything they do. These parents don't endlessly shower their kids with praise but they do reward them when they do something exceptional. They encourage them and push them to try new things and keep expanding their skill sets.…
