Re: Elysium
I think you're overestimating the effect District 9 had on public awareness or outrage about Apartheid. Most opinions I came across basically boiled down to 'cool guns, aliens, violence'; not 'fuck Apartheid!'. Some people had some vague notion that it had something to do with real events in South Africa, but not many.… -
Re: [Portfolio/DemoReel] - Andrew Welbig
Welcome to the fourms. The only critiques I have is your lighting in hurting your work. .The exterior of your Avalon scene is decent, that is your best one. The interior, not so much. Try just adding point lights in the windows and openings to the sky. remove the rest of the lights you have in there that don't have a light… -
Re: Could I get some advice? Essential skills for a game designer
A few remarks : - While games like Doom and Duke Nukem3D are seemingly "3D" games, they are not made of polygons. Besides the characters and props being sprites, the maps themselves are a mere projection of a 2D layout, which is the reason why there is no way to walk under a staircase in these games. - On the following… -
Re: female heads suck -_-
soapbox, but i really hate posts like this. It's way easier to make people with character but weird anatomy than it is to make people (especially women) with no character but solid, ideal anatomy. If this is an exercise, which it seems to be, it's really worth trying to make her a least fairly pretty. No reason to make her… -
Re: [UDK] Sci Fi Tram Station
Cheers for the comments guys, I did do a lot of 2D to Normals, and when i look at it now some parts have been reversed :S When i tried to get the same effect on some of the high poly to low poly ao/normal bakes (pillar worked fine) they tended to give bad artifacts, im not sure if it was because I was attempting to bake at… -

Re: Hybrid Studio *DELETED*
An mmorpg is hopelessly optimistic as a first project. You need to seriously reconsider If you want to finish this. There is just NO way. You clearly have no idea of the overheads of such a MASSIVE undertaking. What engine are you using? How many MMORPG's has your lead engineer made? You do *understand* the server… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
the only problems i have with photosourcing that it is so limited. If you want to use photos do it right and photograph nearly everthing. But that also means : Rebuild the armory, take pictures of weapons, make real masks for creatures or something. So some time i decided to use photos my self. I took photos from 3d.sk and… -

And a photo of orange with orange specular and orange with white specular. I'll let you decide what looks more like plastic. Again, it goes down to both knowing what… -
Re: Shoddy games courses.
I agree with you acc so much of higher education is seriously flawed in terms of actually equipping you with skills relevant to the job your training for, I don't know if that's particular to this age or whether things were better in the past but from all my mates who I went uni with I know of about only 2 or 3 who got…
