So the past 4 days have been hair pulling to me, models from Modo have not been exporting correctly for some odd reason into the Skyrim 'creation kit' via nifskope. Pixel recommended that i start testing with primitive shapes (cubes etc) and STILL was having issues. I quickly figured it was a material problem for whatever…
I'll sum up past threads on this subject with these words: "It's hard to get anywhere if you're feet aren't movin" "If your car is out of gas do you expect it to fill itself?" "How do you expect to get anywhere new if you're always making right turns?" Most of the time I can get the spark back by starting something simple.…
Canadian here, And like anyone else here who doesn't live in the states I really don't get the hate for this. Seems like a pretty big no brainer. I try and stay away from american political debates cause it always just seems it boils down to people just calling each other liberal/conservative as if this backs up their…
sorry, can't quite see the significance of the games industry in the big picture - we do not create an awful lot of jobs for locals or as a whole generate significant tax revenue from what i can see. studios do not need to be rooted very deeply where they are set up, don't typically invest in the local people and are often…
i think also you need to take into consideration that by the time Game comes out Game:Sequel is announced for a year and half later. lets say 6-8 months to get everything figured out(proper work flow, tutorials, exporters) for Game modding. by that time interest has dropped off and that leaves less than a year to make PPMs…
I agree I think you're at a good jumping off point but you need to keep creating and keep being critical of your stuff. Look it over, find out what isn't working and fix it in future projects. It seems like you have all of the nuts and bolts how to learning done and out of the way, what you need now is practice and you…
Each time you can replace "Video game" with any other media form (book, movie, series etc), your "argument" is not valid. In anycase all those "news" are funny to me. I played brutal games since I was 6 (yeahh... those fatalities in Mortal Kombat), I watched brutal movies since that age too (Rambo anyone ? or other 80s…
Yep I totally agree and its funny you bring that up. Just the other day I watched this: http://youtu.be/VOMWzjrRiBg Also I live in a state with a lot of trees and the land has to be cleared before it can be used. Trees don't pay taxes, people who put up useless strip malls do... Well, they pay taxes for a while, then their…
Congratulations on finishing your first demo reel! The good news is the hardest part is behind you! Future demo reels will only improve the more you put into them! However this reel needs some serious work I'm sorry to say. Honestly I would recommend going back to bouncing balls and very simple overlap exercises. If you…
Hey James, here ya go. One thing to consider is where youre putting your contrast, both in your shapes and values. I think the crystals should be the focal point here so Ive given them more value contrast, in addition to muting the values on the handle. Theres also a lot of contrast near the business end of the scythe…
