Re: The Doom of Our Sci-Fi
Well, I always chalked it up to a lot of sci fi being an extension of existing tech (at least as far as film and games are concerned)) rather than a reinvention of paradigms. We accept that the ship is in space because it's insides look a lot like the belly of a ship (Or submarine). We accept that this is the super… -
Re: Hand painting grass and dirt
Hey there Frell, You know, the truth is man, I don't think many people at all create grass textures from scratch. I, and many others, would completely understand your desire as an artist to create EVERYTHING from absolute scratch, but the truth is, why give yourself more work when you can get around these things using well… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: Selling a Game Doc
Agree with everyone else, everyone has ideas for games so you have to be able to put in some hard work to get your idea across along with putting in the work to make it. My best advice, if you have your design docs and ideas, but don't have the know how yet on how to do it digitally, make a board game. Lots of games start… -
Re: Omg a crate???
I gotta agree with Kawe. I don't know if its that your being too ambitious beyond your skill level or what. Its not that its a bad thing to be ambitious, but you need a better understanding of the fundamentals. I had a look through your work and it all looks like you fudged your way through it. You come off not that well… -
Re: Get ready q4!
Hehe this could turn out pretty cool. Thing is though, usualy you develop your highpoly mesh and then build the low poly around that because you just dont exactly know how the peices might have to fit together untill you've accualy done it. Then you have to pick the best way to represent that in a normal maped low polygon… -
Re: UT skeleton question
Well , last week-end I've done few tests ( riggings and figures modes ) with my GOBLIN_SPACE_MARINE to get him properly into UT 2004. If I understand well - in a fact the model-character has to be really close (similar) to the skeleton's proportions from UT 2003 or 2004 which You want to use ( for exemple - HumanMale or… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
I'm not going to attempt to paint a realistic wood texture when I currently own a nice digital camera, which is sitting on my nice wooden (yet fake) computer desk. But, if it were a wood texture for a tree house asset in a cartoon-like childrens game, I'd go wild with it. If style and color is your goal, hand paint. If… -
Re: Portfolio Suggestion - Environment and Character
Thank you guys for the great inputs. I totally agree about showing your best work and not just any work that I have laying around. The school is sometimes confusing and misleading. But thank you for the inputs. Also, is there any environment portfolio of some kind out there that would be the entry standard? Something I… -
Re: 12"x9" Graphics Tablet on sale at Aldi Food stores
For a starter tablet its not bad. But I would only buy it to see if you can get used to drawing digitally. After a while you will want to upgrade. I had a Aiptek, its what convinced me that spending the money on a wacom wasn't a waste. For that I am thankful, however I am glad to be rid of the iffy presure senitive pen, I… -
Re: Pimping and Previews/ Finished work.
well back in older polycount days no one was contributing to SDKs to get a job. It was for the fun and the weird 'art' of it. Nothing prevents that to come back, and the artistry involved in crafting beautiful diffuse texture would serve every aspiring modeler under the sun out there. I know character skintones because I…
