Re: Obstacles in path to game design career?
often;) Although I'm here in China. I think the other Chinese won't view their fellow countrymen as introvert/socially awkward. But when some of them interact with western people culture-clash is going to happen. Teamwork is also not a known concept since schooling is highly competitive and doesn't encourage teamwork. I'm… -
Re: Textures - Specular Level vs Glossiness - What What?
I did try them out, with a Box, Sphere and Cylinder, and 3/4/5 light setup respectively as well Omni and Spot combo as my monster. The gain/loss and difference between them was soo marginal with my tests, that I didn't know what to do, so Google search netted me at the fall of my hat an answer and most people said the… -
Re: the return of american mcgee's alice
Grimm was instantly forgettable, despite an attractive style. Worse, it was a strange call back to the days of shitty engines brought up to substandard polish--Grimm felt very thin and cheap, like Shogo/Blood 2 era Lithtech. You know what I'm talking about. Hate to call you out on this one Pea (and be that, er, the other… -
Re: Upgrading my crappy computer - polycount please help :)
C'mon guys, do you really think the higher the better? Efficiency is much more important, also, run his system through one of those PSU calculators, you'll come out to about 300w. Do a little more research on actual power needed instead of just buying into 800w marketing hype. Also, greevar, a 400w 80% efficient PSU means… -
Re: WIP Cowboy Character
Hey Danny, If this is your first time ever modeling a character, I'd say this is a decent start. You've got the basic resemblance of a human figure there. The next step is getting much more refined with your proportions and shaping the anatomy better. If you look at the wireframe renders of his face from the side, you have… -
Re: Sketchbook: Incomitatum: Andrew Chason
I wouldn't worry about the tricount now. You've got a lot of things that aren't that efficient, but others that are lacking detail. Also, I'd focus on making this look as good as you can for portfolio, and look for optimizations towards the end. I really like your 2nd concept image (the one with the lamps) and your… -
Re: Animating women...
All I can say is darn. Why didn't I think of this. It's like I want to say duh. I never put 2 and 2 together. I'll run through this and get it step by step, but I'm already thinking of ways to do it faster and with less bones. If I'd have to nit pick anything would be the addition of more bones, since I'm already putting a… -
Re: Decent Kids Cartoons, surfacing? (Chowder Flapjack)
One of the things it seems like to me, is the networks are adopting the cheaper, faster, more mantra. Like Micro said, they just want to try and make huge splash after huge splash, but if you want to make a bunch of really big splashes you should keep feeding the same fat kid at the pool cake, not getting every little fat… -
Re: New Texture Site (www.ultimatetextures.com)
some suggestions/ ideas: - generic model (like a cube, sphere, wall,...) on which the texture is mapped onto additional next to the flat view - 512² is a joke, even if someone aims for that resolution for a tileable texture he/she propably wants it twice of the size just to be better in control,- so perhaps scrap that…
