Re: Splash Damage art test
Alright since I saw this thread I looked the test up and I looked up what others have done. Most of them are pretty sh*t because they're either: 1. Rendered like they were students who never rendered before. 2. Textured the scene very poorly. 3. Lighting was crap and washed out. Your latest picture suggests some of those… -
Re: im not worthy!
Everyone here became "pro" by starting as a noob, whether they admit it or not. learn how to model in 3ds Max/Maya/XSI (pick one) and figure out how to export it to a format that your engine will read and load. Work with your programmer buddies. understand you will fail 3-4 times before you succeed, but that failing to… -
Re: Hardware purchase query
That really does make a lot of sense, and about the time it dies, you'll have a much more stable base of operations. It also sounds like Mac's have come a long way with PC emulation and there are some apps that run in the macOS so you might not be totally screwed going that route and it would mean only one laptop to lug… -
Re: First Normal Mapped Asset - Elephant!
Thanks for all the encouragement, guys! Well, this is *new* tech for me, Ive been hanging out in PS2 land since I left the industry to teach over a year ago. All my students are like, "so, uh, are you going to be teaching us normal maps?" And I'm like, crap I really need to get my shit together. I agree I could bring that… -

Re: Sketchbook: M-Cubed
Ok, so here is the first content post I'll throw up here. I'm currently working on a new character model. It's a simple idea. A young woman, whom I'm considering a college/university student. Seeing as it's winter here in up in good 'ol Canada she's going to be in some winter wear. So here is the beginnings of design in… -
Re: [UDK] Stockholm train station
Cool idea, i did my Out of Oil project depicted in the Stockholm Central Station last year. (you can probably find it in the schools R disk somewhere in full HD, or on my site) I would suggest modeling up a basic patch of traintracks in maya, that you then scale up in length, either grab a CV curve and bend it along that… -
Re: "The City of New Orleans Is Devastated"
Lots of strong words there sledgy, but I agree with them. Solar wouldn't be needed to power all of our resources, just a helpful percentage of it. So a slow transition wouldn't be as costly. AC itself could be improved to use less energy and cause less pollution, with new methods being discovered recently. There are now… -
Re: Jason Rohrer & Chris Crawford video
Just watched it, and I appreciate you pointing to it, KP. I just couldn't get past all the pretension in both those guys. Crawford has his reasons for being pretentious, but coming from Rohrer, it seems like just another case of some granola eating jack ass trying to prove how much smarter, and therefor, better than you he… -
Re: 3DBuzz Mapping Contest Entry
Hey Lee! I think it is looking really cool so far, looks like it will turn out to be a really fun level. What are you planning exactly for the outside of the ships? Will the gravity be lowered? Will you have force fields seperating the inside/outside parts like that one map? The gameplay for the shots you posted I imagine…
