Re: QA Tester
I agree with Jesse here, but you guys have to consider one thing. Something that separates "us from them" is that a lot of us have worked hard to get where we are today, regardless of whether or not we worked as a QA or at a shitty small studio that didn't pay anything. A QA job or an intern isn't necessarily a guarantee… -
Re: UDIM vs UV sets ?
What? Those two things are not comparable. Some terminology to make things clearer: * UV Channel / UV Set / UV Map == Stored UV layout. A single one is often split into multiple for UDIM purposes. * UDIM == A standardized way of laying out UVs as 'tiles', which programs can treat as a series of unique UV sets. * Texture… -
Re: nDo2 lag
Hey Sam! The key trick to make Photoshop run smoothly when working with nDo2 is zipping -- a best practice is to have all layers but the current one zipped, as this will increase performance immensely. Disabling OpenGL Drawing does improve performance, as suggested by Fwap, but for high-end machines such as yours the… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Rashad Foux, Character Artist
Ok as far as your web design goes, its ok to use decorative fonts, but I say pick one and use one, and never use it for your email, or your phone, leave those in a simple generic sans serif font. I would also say you need to make every page consistent, you have your textures laid out a different way for every piece, pick… -
Re: 3D Beginners Class
@Spudnik Yea, I realize now that in my rush to keep adding stuff to the ship i failed big time in actually reading what the comments said, I read them all but somehow my brain when´t: Dude, you should totally read those comments as "add more stuff" instead of what they actually say. My apologies for that. With that said I… -
Re: Art Insitutes sued for 11 billion in fraud!
I went to the San Diego AI as quite a few others here did and can say that the quality of the program is absolutely dependent on the quality of the instructors, and how many of those actively work in the industry. That being said, we should not be complacent with how much money it costs. It really really is a TON of money… -
Re: Creating and using textures in dot DDS file format.
dds can store all kinds of images but if you want to compress them you will probably end up using dxt. roughly I think dxt works by dividing up the image into 4x4 pixel segments and giving each segment a pallet of two RGB values and then can it use another two values in the mathematical thirds of the outer values. eg you… -
Re: How to know whether you really enjoy doing it or if you are just forcing yourself to do 3d
For me, I realized 3D game art was a passion when I would spend 12-14 hours a day working on a personal project, go to bed, and wake up the next day with the same high level of excitement and enthusiasm as I had the day before. I'm in a position where I have lots of free time, so art is all I do, and all I want to do. If… -
Re: Sketchbook: Rick16bit - Tower22
Hey again, this time some progress on (one of the many) an apartment. As usual, it starts with a floorplan, and then a lovely 3D mesh. This basic mesh is used to test whether the dimensions fit with the gameplay (apartments stuffed with junk quickly become impossible to navigate within a game). Its also worth testing… -
Re: Good Mouse For Game Art
I am an old fart used to use the MX518 since ages. Doesn't know that this one is still existing as G400. Thanks guys! Meanwhile I got the G500 for quite a while. Hate the wiring. It's looking nice but can't stand real life, special travelling. But without mousepad it is more reliable and more precise than the MX518. But…
