Re: new television
1499 Canadian at Futureshop. May have dropped in price by now. I researched this shit for a long time too and Aqous seemed the best for games, if you're looking at LCD tv's for games make sure you buy 37" or above. The smaller sets generally have lower responce times which means ghosting in games. Even though the 34" aqous… -
Re: What's your work flow?
If you are talking specifically envrios, I usually go in stages. White box, Mesh stage, Clean mesh stage, UVW Then texture colour pass 1, texture colour pass 2, spec pass (if any) the just continue doing texture passes on and on until its good or deadline is up. If its a character for normal mapping shiz I would do Block… -
Re: My game asset creation learnings
Depends on the size of the team. Usually the level designer is not an artist. Instead they are a game designer, so they usually are building a whitebox environment. Whitebox = the whole level is made with white or untextured primitives, nothing pretty. It's all about the playability of the level. When the designer is done,… -
Re: Do 3D artist jobs last longer than concept artist jobs?
As in man-hours per project? Of course, unless someone is extremely indecisive and/or willing to spend a lot of time on exploration. Usually, you'll also need more people doing 3D than people doing concepts and while there will often be some overlap, the concept artists will start and finish first. And just in case you… -

Re: Body Modelling a Woman (Warning: Nude reference images)

Re: Material ID Projection
I bake ao from the lowpoly, unexploded. I move off any bits that need to animate. I usually do this with the simple AO tool in xnormal. I also tessellate the mesh one time(without smoothing) and then you have to blur the results a little(I usually copy the AO layer, heavily gaussian blur it, then mask) otherwise it bakes… -
Re: Diablo 3
We've gotten a whole bunch of legendaries while playing, and usually they are slighty better (due to sheer number of enhancements versus yellow / blue)or on par than we had equipped. From a casual look, the item vendor in Act 2 would provide stuff on par or usually better from what we'd craft at the Blacksmith. The stuff…
