Re: Job hunting
:thumbup: looking for jobs in the games industry can be quite frustrating, even for "pros". Some employers give you the feeling you ain't worth anything and you have no XP at all in the initial phone interviews and at the same time others will think you're the best thing since sliced bread. It's an odd world out there... -
Re: [WIP] Enlighten Contest - Space Sci-Fi
Thank you. :) It took a while to get here. Update: Still not sure about including some fire particle effects even though I did spent a chunk of time today playing around with the parameters. I lost some of the initial glare from the centre of the courtyard so I'll be sure to get that back. -
Re: UTMC - Gas Giant Harvester
I wouldn't fret over still being in thumbnails when they're as original and as effective as these. They exemplify an entire theme without any elaboration by words. 'This is what I should be doing' 'This is what they're looking for' were my initial thoughts, haha. I'd say A4, B2, C1, C3, C4 are my favorites. -
Re: Glass material and time of day
Browsed through with environment probes and stuff, it didn't seem to need to be told to use an environment map in the material editor. Seems that just being shiny and close to a probe caused it to be mirror-like on its own. Ultimately that helped, but initially the bottle came in nearly black until I changed the material… -
Re: How much Scripting would be involved?
also should mention from my experience, from back years ago when i first learned to program, it does have a steep initial learning curve, but once your past that point, you learn things extremely fast, and it is easy to pick up additional languages for what ever you need. -
Re: Thor!!!
This is what I immediately thought of when I saw the scene: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJyocqm_HU4[/ame] It was a very good movie, but had some pacing issues. They had to cram too much into the ending, and it shows. Also I take back my initial skepticism on the costumes, they look just fine. -
Re: Artist's rights to credit?
Good point. I think the entire game industry still isn't formalized enough yet to have a consistent stance on this issue. I suppose it pertains to artists in general, and like I said if someone else paid for the work I don't know that the creator as any right, unless its part of the initial agreement. -
Re: Webesite machine
I personally like the side screen and how you integrated the wolf into it. I was initially turned off to the boosters 'cause I felt this was more of a control panel but once you added smoke I think it makes more sense. Smoke is a cool feature but I'm not sure if it'll distract from your content. -
Re: Portfolio help. Pls
adding another crit that no one mentioned yet.. At first time I visited your site, I couldn't register your name correctly. It looked alike 'illiam ruran' due to colored initial of your name. I'd consider change it as your name is most important thing you should sell out. -
Re: Softimage XSI Mod Tool
Yeah, it seems a bit premature. I'm guessing that the XNA team will work on a bare bones model format and exporter so that hobbyists can start hooking up art in a game with no initial work. That's kind of the M.O. of XNA - no need to do the groundwork that every game needs - so I think it's something they'll get to.
