Re: gun
Looking hot man. The bolt and sights are hard! Only part that doesn't do it for me is the barrel threading. I'm all for exaggeration for a good rip, but it Looks too rounded and terminates somewhat abruptly. I think something like this would work well: For the low: It's obvious you're going for really clean/tight rips,… -
Re: The Doom of Our Sci-Fi
I think its an interesting idea to suggest that Alien was what began to create the image of scifi being dirty, heavy and 'bolty', but wasnt Alien and Aliens all set in Industrial plants and ships? If you were to look at the beginning of Aliens the interior of the space station has smooth shapes, and relies heavily on white… -
Re: Things you can do, too speed up a heavy scene?
Yes no problem, let's say that I have 30-40 animation layers in my scene ( I can't no longer work rotating some parts of models haha because Maya crash with this amount of layers) and I want to use the graph editor. If I select the COG of the character, the list of my graph editor will display the 30 COGs from every… -

Re: Balmora Reborn(Environment)
Haha to be fair the bolts went at 1200tris! Seems more reasonable to scrap the whole bolt idea altogether. I've seen it in games I've played and though it was cool to have it as geo but I could probably make it look just as good with out it. I had another version using the more of a standard pipeline before I created the… -
Re: Defining a style of stylized game art (TF2)
I think the big devices of games like TF2, and WoW are the aspect of silhouette differentiation that adds to gameplay. In TF2, the size of the character is indicative of how many HPs they have, and how fast they move. The same could be said for Valve's other game: Half-Life 2. Not necessarily stylized per se, but when you… -
Re: "The Industry" and Art Tests.
I actually got my job before doing my art test. I was given the test at my interview on the Monday, said I could start it the following Friday and was offered the job on the Wednesday. I still did the test though - more to test myself than for the company. How long did you have? I had a week, but did it in a weekend -… -
Free HLSL Shader Tutorial Videos
Several years ago I made a series of training videos to teach artists how to write real-time shaders in HLSL. The series starts out with very simple concepts so that someone with no programming experience at all can start right from the beginning and learn to write shaders. Further into the series, I cover more advanced… -
Self Education versus Guided Education
Yes, I know, yet another topic about education, but this is a rather bit more specific (I thnk) than anything I found using the Search function. I've been toodling with 3D ever since the first Open Beta of Rhino 3D came out back in the late 90's. In the early 2000's, I switched to 3DS Max, and have been using pretty much… -
