Re: How did Pros become Pros? (Directed (mostly) towards 3D Modelers / Texture Artists)
For me, I had the chance to learn some 3ds max in high school and I was hearing you could get a job in games without having to college/uni so it instantly appealed to me. I always loved video games so I started learning how to make game art (bad bad art in the beginning). I took a couple years to work on my portoflio,… -
Re: [Character] Dungeon Hunter PSN art dump - image heavy
Wow thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the nice comments! :) It was my favorite gameloft project for sure. It was a ton of fun to work on! Something about painting on a 512 texture just feels right :P I should probably also clarify that only a few of the characters had super strict deadlines, I think most took around… -
Re: Rage tech/workflow?
pior, I looked at a bunch of pipes which I swore were static, but on closer inspection they had the most subtle environment map that barely moved based on camera angle. Also some of this baked spec could be just baked lighitng, like the highlight on a lambert shader when you bake directional light on to it. I'll take a… -

Re: Supreme Court upholds Eminent Domain
That is what I mean by a fixed income. What little social security you get might cover food for 2 out of the 4 weeks out of the month. But they don't allow for cost of living increases. Also same for retirement funds and pentions, it is a fixed pay out price and not going to go up. The inablity to make more money as things… -
Re: Learning Zbrush
You are talking about two different things : is very a very different from I would guess that these classes were not correctly taught. (I have been to a few like those, where the teacher just lets everybody do whatever they want. Good for personal research, but so not good for foundation building). You dont need to 'know… -
Re: ANIMATION, GAMING studio artists WATCH OUT.-Stephen Silver
I'm pleased to see someone highlight this kind of thing, as I believe (even from my own experience) many can inadvertently fall into this trap. Also many studios have different cultures and approaches to time keeping and time management, with various things like 'core hours' and/or 'flexi-time' being used. And many people… -
Re: Gamedesign Hollywood
I wouldn't dismiss this as a nostalgia so quickly. There are some design trends that are undeniably different than what was common 5 or 10 years ago. Accessibility is one of them and though it's a good idea, more often than not we end up with games that offer no challenge at all (complexity issues aside; I have nothing… -
Re: Mayweather/Mosley May 1st
MMA is heading down the shitter, can you remember the last UFC card you've really enjoyed? GSP is superb, but he has turned into a boring lay and pray artist. 3 of Anderson Silva's last 4 fights have been sleep inducing jokes, and Fedor is still the best in the world, but who is there for him to fight? Especially outside… -
