Uh, I just quit my first job as a 3d game artist (long story) and it was the only company in the town where I live in. Now I'm going to work on my portfolio for a couple of months and after a friend of mine graduates uni we're thinking of starting our own small company. If this doesn't work out, I'm going to have to start…
Well, unfortunately, sometimes ideas may be all you have and I think that it's very seldom that the people with the ideas are the ones that are armed. In Greece, 30 years ago we were under a military dictatorship that ended after 7 years, when the military decided it was a good idea to run over the gates (and the people…
I was in the same boat for undergrad. Attended a big state school, majored in art (graphic design) and telecommunication (mostly as an entry point into their game design "specialization" which was at the time only four classes). I can't say I use what I learned from graphic design very much day to day. Most of what I got…
Not sure how Carmack does it (i assume you mean the having a sheer amount of data visible, no matter what), however i thought about a method some months ago which should work (unfortunatelly my gfx card isn't powerful enough for this method). The idea is break the textures in subtextures, render the geometry without…
Satisfied with blockout of the first three major areas. If anybody has some feedback about composition in general I'd appreciate it. At this stage it is still easy to make big changes. I have 2 more areas to blockout over next several days. I might make a build for play testing before advancing forward from blockout. I am…
Why did the situation escalate so quickly, in under 5 minutes? Were the zombies trying to get back to work and this was their lunch break? How come half of the people are getting killed by single driver vehicles in mass, especially law enforcements? Do they have magnets? What are people running from in the first place, in…
Hello everyone! I'm new to Polycount and I would really like to read your opinions on my case. I realise that this topic has been brought up in many threads before and I have read through most of them. Still, I feel the need to get some advice on a personal level, as this is a pretty big and important decision for me to…
Sven, The Hoplite Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and I wanted to get your feedback on my first project for Dota 2. I was thinking of a complete set for Sven based on the hoplite soldier of ancient Greece. Here are some concept ideas I sketched and inspiration (that I got from museums and the internet) I've had for…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] the reason i had no COMEBACK, was because this is a tired argument and I'm done with it [/ QUOTE ] That's what people say when they have too much pride to conceed and no ammo to shoot back. I'm a pro at this myself *hah* [/ QUOTE ] heh, they also say that when it's a tired argument that no one…
[ QUOTE ] Vermillion - those stats you posted up are scary. That is a *lot. Even for percentage of population, that's just too much [/ QUOTE ] Sure, it's too much. I think any amount of murder qualifies as too much. But a lot? Five people per year? There are more than 80 people killed per year by lightning, and I don't…
