Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Harry Boltz III
Reply by heboltz3 · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - AnimationThe H in harry stands for "Hardly Working" Anyways, thanks for the words dudes! So to address some stuff: I'm sorta kinda really attached to the start and the end being separated by a rest moment. That being said, I think I can really do alot to zazz it up and make the transition cleaner, but I feel justified by… -
Re: Polycount's Sketch Thread!
@ErikNilsson Your rant is truthful. I've experienced similar phases, and currently am so crazy busy that adding "extra" personal projects and training has pushed me to near burn out. You've really gotta be conscious of yourself, your state of mind, your ability to actually retain and utilize the information. On one hand,… -
Re: Importance of monitor calibration in a video-game production.
Generally speaking you cannot accurately calibrate/profile a display by eye. Unless a display is at an extreme level of inaccuracy you will do more harm than good. I think the mistake a lot of people make is that they think monitor deviations are global color casts and contrast adjustments. When these people look at their… -
Re: racist or funny?
Weiser makes him self an easy target sometimes, but the truth is, he's saying in this thread things that alot of you won't admit to actually feeling yourselves. He just expresses it in a raw, less than PC manner. How many of you would feel comfortable walking alone at night in the city, and be approached by a group of… -
Re: virus?!
Is your e-mail address posted anywhere on the web that has frequent visitors? If so, that is probably why, and let me explain. A few of the viruses/worms writers out there decided that just relying on someones address book wasn't good enough to find e-mail addresses. These viruses use e-mail addresses for two purposes, as… -
Re: Best programs to build concepts with
Why do so many initial question ask for 'best' !? Why not ask 'what is a good...' as there is no such thing as a best, anyway my push in this thread: Alchemy: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=52370 http://al.chemy.org/ [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYYSxZZzgjc[/ame] Is in my opinion a good path because… -
Re: Abandoned Exam Room
Overall it's a great looking scene. :thumbup: The lighting is hard to pin down since we're only seeing the one room. More brown? Less brown? I can't say for sure. In a game, there might be more stuff before or after this to provide context and inform that decision. My suggestions: - The scene could use a stronger focal… -
Re: UV tiling tricks within 0 to 1 space.
Ah, I culled that page to narrow down my portfolio a bit. Here are the relevant bits I think... Terrain was made of canyons underwater, so I created a set of U-cross-sectioned canyon pieces that all tiled with one another. I tiled the textures on each piece in whole numbers along the length of each piece, so the canyons… -
Re: Attitudes about games
Slainean.... games will advance, just as movies do. They go and will go through their little evolution, from mute and b/w to sound and color, from 2d to 3d and whatever comes next. Do you think your average NASA engineer is trying to change the world, worried about humanity reaching the stars more than about a good… -
Re: Put your money where your mouth is
poop, i think what daz is getting at and what i have tryied to convey in the past on the "thinking" piece, is that by making it like a diary entry you alienate the reader. while there is good info in there, its like a long forum post. or a blog entry.. not the appropriate writing style for piece of information that is to…
