Re: An humanoid robot + rigging
Hi everyone, Today a little bit more about the robot :) Firstly, I projected my concept on a lambda character. It's to help to get some volume on the plates. Now, it's more easy to start a retopo. It's exactly the same thing that create an armor. :) On each body plate I used triple edge technique with a blinn material for… -
Re: Ken Levine closing down Irrational Games
Oh god, that blog post made me angry. What utter, utter crap. I can't comment on the situation other than to say I'm sorry to hear people lost their jobs and I hope they land on their feet ok. Here's a few links I've come across recently, maybe they'll help some of you out - http://careerpowerups.com/… -
Re: Looking for advice
Hey! 1. Being 23, is it to late for me to consider a career in game design? I already feel to old so I really dont want to waste time - Not at all! there is no age limit :) 2. Would getting a general art degree from a small local college benefit me? - Degrees can always benefit you in the long run (I wouldn't recommend a… -
Re: Motivational Problem
Haha oh lord no, it's not facebook. I use Facebook exclusively as a Mom Communication Tool and I follow maybe 25 people, most of whom are family, and I generally dread looking at it because with the bonkers US election cycle going on right now I'm not too keen on finding out how many people I'm related to are like, literal… -
Re: SOLVED: Curvature map from Object Space Normal map?
Yes there is! When we were texturing this high-poly mesh, we used a curvature map that was created from an Object Space Normal: This was an experimental process, but the current workflow looks like this: 1) Apply the Surface Blur filter on the Object Space Normal in Photoshop with a 16-48 pixel radius 2) Open xNormal and… -
Re: Max, baking bump maps applied to the high?
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I tried the scene and it didn't work, only thing it captured was AO if I baked with MR. BUT I got a response back from Autodesk and it works! They had me do a clean install but on their list was to remove BackBurner (I didn't do that previously) and the 32bit version of max (which I didn't… -
Re: How Many AAA Character Artist Positions Are There in our Industry?
Well, when I started this discussion with a friend here in Montreal. We kinda added up the people we knew and the places we knew, and the number was somewhere around 30-40. We thought that was insanely low for Montreal... which is considered a Mecca of Game Development. The funny thing is, here in Montreal if a Character… -
Re: What It's Like To Be A Woman Making Video Games
I can see that. Several of the companies (including the one I subcontract under) have after-work social events that usually involve a local restaurant with the intent of getting a beer or two. Occasionally the PM brings in a case of beer to celebrate something important, but it's always toward the end of the day and we're… -
Re: What to charge for texturing / modelling?
ya but even freelancing for $10 a hour for 30 to 40 hours a week, is going to leave you in poverty, you cant pay living expenses off that little lone, cover the costs of actually doing the work such as all the software, hardware and taxes on the income. yes it can be good to give some work away on mod projects to get… -
Re: Art Restoration Services
TeriyakiStyle: They were appraised before they were donated to the antique store. The place I got them at is a non-profit that supports a local food bank, so the previous owner probably got a nice tax write off. I'll definitely check out Guy Downing and see if he seems like he'd be good for taking care of them. There isn't…
