Re: KONY 2012
interesting. its cool that its spreading awareness, watching that one video and blindingly sharing it is stupid I agree, but if say 5-10% of the people who watch it begin to research and become more informed on the situation as a whole, not just focused on the charity, you would have to be an idiot to say thats not… -
Re: Traditional 2D art is... weird
That work you posted ZacD, is called "ciencia y caridad", "Science and Charity". Is a common work we study at our schools hehe, and was criticized by the terrible disproportions in the whole painting (like the size of the bed, the hand of the ill woman, etc. etc.) plus composition errors. The are also perspective… -
Re: Zbrush Alphas from 3D Scans - New gallery site
This is great feedback, thanks everyone! Seirei and Orangeknight - In some ways I think of surfacemimic as the cgtextures of 3d scans, but I'm not competing with them directly. I debated a lot with artist friends over the business model, but ultimately came to the conclusion that because its so niche, there isn't going to… -
Re: Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
To re-examine my late-night sake fueled post. To me, someone without a lot of excess cash to spend on games, when I go to a game store to browse some games, it's like walking into a library where all the books are sealed up. You can't read the first little bit to tell if the writing is good or that you might like the story… -
Re: Moving uvmap and texture simultaneously?
I believe it was Stimpack who originally posted this in the tread about a lantern being too green... anyway i copied out this system, as it hauls. Ive only used it once but i think this is what Vig is saying anyway; just thought I would try and keep passing this on. I am copy pasting this from someone else, this is not me;… -
Re: The Ego in Games
Gaming is a form of escapism; so whatever you are in real life, you're going to be the opposite in a game. It's why Master Chief doesn't really listen to his superiors but just kicks some ass and why Cloud has a unique and colourful hair style. And if you're just Joe Average who realises there are a million people that are… -
Re: Community Colleges: training ground for game dev?
Had to chime in on this one as well. :] As I've said before, I'm currently enrolled in a Game Art and Design program at an Art Institute. We do work on the quater system; 11 weeks, meet once a week for 4 hours. But this is a 4 year degree. My school has the "let's make them a generalist" attitude as well. So it's very… -
Re: Soldier - Realtime Normal Mapped Char
whoa longass thread. heh some TLDR stuff, but i skimmed i agree with most of the stuff - the design is simple, but definately not ineffective. It could use more to show off the normalmaps, but a lot of the work ive seen of yours isn't really about that. when it comes to the texturing, you'd be surprised as to what you can… -
Re: Launched my Portfolio Website!
Looking great! I like the layout and your choice in colors, the images rotating thru the upper main image is a really nice touch. I also like the signature in your work, its a really nice touch. With that said I think there are a few dirty corners to tiddy up. 1) I understand English is not your first lang? So I totally… -
Re: Quitting?
Well I suggest to you not to quit and just make time to do art, even if that means just changing your schedule to do so. Ideally you want to be working, why, simple so you don't get depressed thinking about all the crap you need to be doing to be responsible, plus it avoids things like artist blocks. If you hate your…
