Re: Is "PBR" a useful art style direction term?
While either flat pure black or white is a big no-no in our not U4 engine rather grayish diffuse color, maybe not half but still, is ok for kind of dusty/rusty metal things having greyish metal channel too. I have an impression pure white metallic channel is a thing from an imaginary hi res perfect world with lots of halo… -
Re: Comparing roles in the industry. Indie vs AAA
Indie development definitely involves wearing a lot of different hats. I can speak from experience of working with extremely low budget teams working towards a goal of breaking into the industry. So above free college work but just below fully funded indie studio work. One of my primary reasons for doing indie work was to… -
Re: Props from a noob to game art
1- You could definitely pack the uv's better. Just by rotating the entire diamond shape 45* you could save space (making it a square basically) You could also split the four triangles off and flip flop them tho save a lot of space too. It would give you a few more seams, but they are on sharp edges that are hard to see… -
Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
They view it as they're selling the product. But they're are just the unnecessary middleman between Artist and Valve. All they have is a little bit more freedom in how they can sell their product, they use that for their cut. This is one of the main reasons why I don't really understand why some artists actually work for… -

Re: UV Tips and tricks?
Thanks for your answers guys. @Vig Was thinking about the first method you describe and as far as I can tell it would work great with big, semi-repetitive levels where it would be faster to create 3-5 textures and then produce lets say 20-40 overlaying textures which would then break up the repetition. Will have to try to… -

Re: How awesome is your dad?
My dad's pretty amazing. He's 65 in a few weeks. He took up windsurfing in his late 40s, and a couple of years back was windsurfing some of the best surf Hawaii has to offer with top wave-jumpers and surfers a third of his age. He's a wonderful underwater photographer, and keen skier, and a veteran diver. He's always been… -
Re: enviroment: de_wanda 100% custom map for cs-source
I've been developing for the Source engine since the beginning of the year and I can tell you that if not done properly, the water will be a HUGE hit on resources once you get more than 4 people in the map. There's a reason most CSS maps don't have water, and if they do its dark and not very reflective. Even on new systems…
