It really does. Solutions depend a lot on the specifics of the problem. But I'm enjoying the topic nonetheless. For my game, a scifi flight sim (in a nutshell), I'm considering making the entire planet covered in fog! Things nearby are visible, things further away are only detectable in a simplified instrument interface.…
The mixture of languages on the posters is a bit odd - unless it's set in Quebec, I suppose. Pick the language appropriate to the country and use that throughout. Don't worry about the player/viewer being unable to read it; people have been trained to accept funny languages in movies for years now: Speaking of old movies,…
I'm a supporter of unions but I really don't see how this is supposed to work in the game industry. Game dev is inherently project based work. Being laid off at the end of the development process sucks but the game is done... what reason is there to have an entire development team around being paid with nothing to do…
I won't bore you as to why I will never smoke but my grandmother died in such a horrible way due to smoking and I feel I should prevent the same happening to you. Imagine finding out you have cancer in your mouth and you have all your teeth pulled out and tongue cut in half. Unable to speak properly for the rest of your…
Well, it depends what you want out of it. If you "bleed blizzard blue" as the saying goes, by all means throw your stuff in and have your fun. If you're serious about your work, maybe want to get something tangible out of it, you're better off skipping this game engine. What no one will say (and why no one from blizzard…
I've decided to remove the trailing part of the bandanna so that it's all contained and wrapped around his neck. It's much easier for animation this way (after having issues with Max's cloth). I think it looks kind of cool as well? Texture is WIP. Hair I have also been having issues with. The mental ray hair that I've used…
Attempted flipping green and red and switching them around and rerenderd the normal map with the highpoly in the right location. Ended with the same result. If i understand this correctly (and i probably dont) from the link racer posted Then this should "fix" itself when in a normal map because the way it works with UVs or…
This is Kelvin, the inventor of PenMoto. I must say that I am amazed at some of the illustrations generated by members of this forum. If I might quickly respond to a couple comments. @Muzz - I can barely stand to wear a watch, I can appreciate your prediction. Yet, the inability to quickly go from pen to typing was a…
but we do have facts presented from one party. we also know that NeoGod is a frequent poster/member of the forum, and if he has evidence or opinion to the contrary, then he would/should certainly post them in order to prove his innocense. right? i'm well aware that there could be circumstances that have caused things to…
I'm going to disagree with a lot of points on here and assert only one: use what you are comfortable with. I have used a 4x5 graphire(first tablet years and years ago) a 6x8 intuos 2 and 3(my current tablets at home/work) and an intuos 1, 2 and 3 9x12(all at turbine). I was most comfortable with a 9x12. I like to paint so…
