No, I'm not for sure! May be my words sound like an AD, but I'm just a great fan of this program =) Ok, I spent some time trying to compile a visual comparison of different approaches to imagery downsizing. Here's a test image from free Ornament collection. Original resolution is 1950x1323. I've chosen four areas of…
Nice work on the blockout, though personally I'd try to push the exterior scene a little more. If you have time I suggest you watch The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Returns, both have lots of great exterior shots of crumbling Egyptian temples. I wasn't able to find many good pictures, but here are some:…
A nice meta tag like system when creating a thread would be interesting. There could be a list of tags and users can choose - 2 - tag's that best describe the piece. That way people can easily filter out stuff there not interesting in, ie character, environment, weapon, Just vauge-ish filters people can choose. The bonus…
Are'nt you going to wait to do this until the Riot contest start? =P http://polycount.com/discussion/192491/announcing-the-riot-creative-contest-2017 But that is a great start!
Is this tiny pic your reference? If so, have a look at this: https://www.google.de/search?q=gerber+lmf&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nALGUpCZN4PTtAbGloHABg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=968#q=gerber+lmf2&tbm=isch You can get texture example there, too.
@Fansub : I love tools like this ivy generator - it's really great when this kind of stuff comes together, often as a collaboration between engineers and artists. It's a big part of what makes working in games so interesting ! @Goldfarb, @Aabel : They don't need to be Autodesk, they just need to seriously rethink their…
Storyline Idea: An abandoned building with a dark past... The "Pinon Grove" mental asylum in Staunton, Virginia" was established in the late 1800's and was considerd a haven for patients of a fragile mental state. Built to house 800 patients at a time, it fell subject to extreme overcrowding with a peak of over 3,000…
This is very ... believable. This question is for anyone: How do you reference this stuff? I gathered several references together and shared most of them. I use the concept art a lot but when I have question that can be answered by real life references, then I will deviate from the concept. Either way, you simply can't see…
Peter, I find this idea to be brilliant. I've shared it with my small up-and-coming studio. We've been trying to think of how we wanted to handle things and I've sent them your article. Between making games and expanding on them, I think the pilot paradigm would work excellent for us. One of my pals from our studio's going…
Nerd. [/jelly] Shenmue II and Rez are available in all territories Racer. I myself owned Shenmue II (PAL) and even a PAL Reviewers copy of Rez, which is quite rare nowadays. I didn't realise there were so many collectors here. I have a mint condition Game & Watch Safebuster from 1989 I think that I've been trying to sell…
