Working out a ballpark freelance hour rate?
Hey there, There's a game design job I'm applying for (I have 4 years experience) and it'll be transitioning from a salaried job to freelance / hourly. In the first stage call with HR I was asked what my hourly rate would be. On the application, I put £18 which was £35,000 salaried but on the call I found out it would be… -
Re: UDK COMING TO iOS this Thursday!!!
Apple also adds a few mb after you submit the app. Our game Santas Delivery was around 45-50mb before we gave it to apple. It is now a 60mb file from the appstore. This doesn't always work so well.

Re: Smooth Curvature node making weird gradients
Hi there, make sure that your node Curvature smooth has a tilling in repeat mode on both axis, either with the node itself by forcing it to absolute, or by setting up the node just before. This node doesn't work if the tilling hasn't been setup correctly. -

Re: New Computer - Please Assist

Maya uses multi cores for rendering, and I'm not a super-knoweldgable guy about the loads programs pull from… -
UV Squashing in Borderlands 2 on masks for color tints.
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give… -

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
We'll talk after the next round of layoffs when they express their "gratitude" for your hard work. I wish I could say she won't dump you and take the kid, but but you gotta be realistic about those things. I gave everything to this fucking circus and only coming back to insult every thinkable social group with my project.… -
Re: [NEW TOOL] Armory Crafter – Modular 3D Weapons Editor & Texturing Software
Looks cool might grab the free version and give it a whirl., maybe report back with some thoughts. Edit: Stylized stuff has peeked my interest lately and for the sake of clarity I'm a subd heathen, mechanical hard surface modeler so may come up with a few doozies possibly not thought of :#
