Re: Each indie game dev role's Tools Cost
from an audio engineer (sound design) /composers perspective it could vary allot but assuming you start with the bare miminum (nothing pirated) and your composer has little : - sound libraries for DAW compositions : depending on your need and budget this could take up between 100 +- 2000+ dollars. Think of sound libraries… -
Re: someone wants me to do several weeks worth of 3d work for them, should I have a contract written up?
Yes, also you can add: If the quote and the body of work is a lot you can arrange a 15-25% upfront payment/deposit. You can also have a mid project payment and then final payment once it's all signed off and delivered. Be clear with your payment type you prefer and also whether there will be any currency conversions as you… -
Re: My first GDC, can anyone offer some very helpful advice?
I hate the presentation of your portfolio, the tremendous quantity of things, and the scattered grouping. It adds a ton of noise that makes it difficult to get a read on who you are. Most importantly I have no idea what you are or what you want to do. You seem to have a lot of animation, but then some modeling/art as well.… -
Re: Funding tips for Indie Game Start-ups?
Hey Kasigawa, I'll list a few things that investors look for: * A game demo that demonstrates game play. * A financial plan that shows they will make their money back and more. And shows how and on what you'll spend the funds. * A team of experienced people contractually obligated to this project. * A list of patents you… -
Re: Is it just perfectionism?
Is this Imposter Syndrome the same thing as what the OP is talking about? It sounds like he is never content with his finished work, or at least never artistically satisfied, which would be different than having constant anxiety/depression over a false idea of being a fraud. If so, is this truly a bad thing? Like Joshy… -
Re: Game Character Animation in Max
I would say it largely depends on what kind of time you have and what results you're expecting. I'm working on a project right now where I'll be using biped mostly because it's what I know. I don't have time to learn CAT and I'm very comfortable with biped. I prefer it over plain bones because of the tools I use,… -
Re: Opinions on the Cintiq for game art. Also any alternatives?
I currently own an older 20wsx (intuos 3 digitizer) and the new 13hd. I cant imagine not using one anymore, even for 3d modeling. I can tell you this, get it!!! Its worth it, and I do not recommend the alternatives such as Yiynova. It is an investment that will pay off in the long run. Getting an older model (21ux, 20wsx)… -
Re: Sketchbook: peppi
Time for a little image dump again.. I haven't done a whole lot of 3D stuff lately (save for some things for Substrata that I'll post separately) but that might change soon since I really want to spend a good deal of time with Toolbag2. For now, here's most of the things I've done this year. Hope you like :) Spatz:… -
Re: 3DS Max Help
Have a look at Digital Tutors too, in my opinion they offer the best learning path for Max and Maya for beginners. They haven't got a huge amount of Max stuff on offer, but definitely check out their intro to modelling. Their instructors are fantastic, they show you every last detail in the beginner courses, none of that… -
Re: Medium poly Cannon
Even though he's an obese woman on Midol, I do agree with killingpeople that you should only use one texture for this simple asset. At one 512x512 you can squeeze a lot more detail in the texture than you currently have, even if this asset is viewed closely. I suggest a more hand painted look, don't simply paste flat…
