[ QUOTE ] I have some nice press videos for the Wii. It hurts my arm just watching it. Everyone of the demos looks like people are having troubles with it, and I can only imagine an hour of that being a nightmare.

Boomz, try replacing the spec on the solar panels with an environment map. There's much fancier ways to do it (like linking spec colour to fresnel parameters, so the colour changes depending on the viewing angle), but an envmap should do the job nicely I think. At the moment it looks way too noisy, when solar panels are…
You can't compare someone who is a talented 'traditional' artist to a mediocre 'game-art' artist. Well no shit you'd pick the talented guy over the mediocre guy, anyone with a bit of intelligence would. Knowledge of traditional art is really important for any artist and I'm really disappointed I've never had any training…
The new W does unite everything a bit more, but i still really dislike the capital K for its clashing lines/line-weights. I also really don't like the thin line in your H, it just feels too flimsy compared to the rest of the typeface. The website's layout is nice, i like the simplicity as well as the seperation of…
Now as I have wandered around the boards and found the other end of this discussion I really like what Hawken drew up as well. I Totally agree with what these guys want to do with the focus of the site. I feel that it totally agrees with the focus of what is happening on the boards. The low poly thread is a perfect example…
Well I'm not 100% sure I'm right when it comes to a PBR workflow, but I believe the whole idea behind it isn't necessarily whether it's PBR itself, but how the artist creates their materials. IE technically a color map for a PBR material would have little-to no lighting information in it if it was going for realism. That…
I went to AI San Diego. Believe me - Nobody was happy with the policy here. not teachers, not students, not academic directors. i Seriously doubt that AI organge county - less than a couple hours north - had a terribly different experience. I have BEEN following you on this. not once have i suggested that the school stop…

Yeah sure, but the quality is the culprit here. Too much missing bits from what i understand. Would be of course interesting to see the image that we talk about here. @gnoop, i would at this point have a look how far you can come with the traditional methods instead. It might indeed be the easier approach here. Stay…
Mari 2.0's layer system kicks the crap out of mudbox's layer system imo. Another thing to consider is that mari will let you hand paint accurate vector flow maps.
