Re: Bump instead of normals, or.. wat?
The normal map pipeline is very well established and gives the best results today, but like perna says there are tool chain issues and people are still screwing it up, in both art and code. A lot of guys are old pros at making normal maps, so much so that it must seem easy. But I think there are a lot of hardships there,… -
Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?
Thought I would share my experience quitting a job to focus on 3d. I was still in college at the time of this so it is a bit different but still figured I would share. Near the end of college I got an internship at SOE for 3 months working on EverQuest 1 which just had its 10th birthday. It was the only internship spot… -
Re: Looking for a Portfolio Review.
The black outline works if you're going for a toon/anime look, but even for those I'd reduce the thickness. (And if it's already at 1 pixel, you can produce apparently thinner lines using lighter colors/lower opacity.) The particles for the waterfall really should be denser and smaller, to give a better impression of… -
Re: What program for texturing?
Very cool information, thanks to all. I'm a long-time photoshop user and I love it, I will try painting over the UVs I did and see what I came out with. I have seen 3dcoat on Steam at a very decent price, I'll check it out, some demo or stuff and then think about it. Well people, thanks again! I will see to this matter as… -
Re: LOD software
What about Modo's Reduction tool? Keeps form while reducing mesh resolution, preserves UVs. Probably not nearly as "magical" as Simply polygon but at the very least its a lot cheaper and doesnt rely on a cloud. $10 a month (or perpetual $299) if you go with Modo Indie on steam, Indie limitation is 100k poly export but that… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #20 - OCTOBER
updated the prizes, now we have: 1 Marmoset Toolbag license 1 $125 gift card (Newegg or Steam) Do you guys think that we should split the contest in 2 to have helloween separated from the "normal" items? Looks like the majority of the items are helloween themed and I believe we could keep one single winner and mention in… -
Re: over 20 billion in PC gaming hardware sales 3rd year
the pie chart shows revenue percentage, not volume. Keep eye on steam survey for actual volume percentage in the field. performance wise likely will be another nice jump next year when the 16nm chips come out :) Am playing older games with downsampling (DSR), it's really nice what that does to older games, really shows how… -

Re: Objectifying women...
just because you are offended it does not give you power. Seriously. In other words, if you don't like something do not participate. I am not a fan of getting a handy from some old guy in the steam rooms at my gym so I don't participate but hey maybe it is for some people. I don't burn the place to the ground. (perhaps i…
