Re: Desktop Replacement Laptops
Yes, I've been using mine for work (professional and personal) for the past 4 years. Do keep in mind though, that I'm (and most other people too unless they run an OS X compatible app like Maya/Silo/C4D etc) dual-booting Windows through BootCamp at which point it effectively becomes a PC laptop, albeit an expensive, but… -
Re: What is typically more expensive?
Like most optimization and performance comparisons, that question is almost impossible to answer. It depends highly on the exact situation, the rest of your game, and which bottleneck you'll hit first. The two techniques use different aspects of your GPU. With that said, if you're trying to compare them from the standpoint… -
Re: [Portfolio] Shawn Sieben Level Designer
I agree with what's been said here. If you have a computer that can run Unreal 3 Ed, then you owe it to yourself to go pick it up and start making maps in it. This industry is all about keeping up with the latest and greatest, so starting a generation behind is just shooting yourself in the foot. Not to say there isn't… -
Re: Anyone ever work a crappy job to focus on 3D?
That seems like sound advice. I find this is the best way to get my exercise in so that I don't just decide to push it to the side on my drive home. I know the feeling of being burned out and tired after work, not feeling like putting any time into personal projects. As a 3D artist in the game industry I still have to put… -
Re: prince of persia :two thrones
I beat it the other day...loved it...yeah, that climbing bit is a bit of a pain, but you can hear when he shoots, and you just have to make sure that you are on top of the rock/pole - and not hanging from it - when you get hit, and the prince should grab the edge and save you from a messy end. That boss was a piece of cake… -
Re: Game Art for Comics
Olivier Thill does it exceptionally well, unique and awesome technique: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=93536&page=1&pp=15 http://logan117.cgsociety.org/gallery/912211/ It's not really game art as such since it's not optimized for use in an engine. With regards to your question, I'm not sure why you'd want to… -
Re: 1 Year Plan
Awesome idea Carl. I know you're split into what to focus on. But for what you're trying to do I would say focus. Laser focus. Pick 1 thing and get really good at it. If it's a super small niche it might take a while of find a job. But the job will almost find you. If it's more general you'll be able to apply at more… -
Re: Avatar trailer
exactly, I don't go see many movies in the theaters at all I just don't see all the 'hype' showing anything that I'm interested in. The 3D may blow me the fuck out of my seat but I don't think sitting in a theater with glasses on is next gen. It just doesn't appeal to me. I hate crowds, and why not wait a couple months let… -
Re: How you learned to paint?
no offense, but I daresay that's a load of shit. Yes, I think the 10000 hours of time is a good rule/estimate, but it's not simply doing. you need to analyze what you are doing actively, pay attention to how you're doing it, look for ways to improve or get clearer to what you're shooting for. It's the same reason I get… -
Re: Unreal lightmass?
CCP games is integrating it, but into their own engine so I can't really tell about any performance in Ue3, but it's pretty fast (on very 'current gen' kind of configurations). Enlighten is not yet 'radiosity on the fly', it still has a notion of static vs dynamic. The pre process is pretty quick tough. What's especially…
