Sorry still not seeing it. That article from Gamasutra is sad but I fail to see how it is so special thanks to Greenlight. Which I think is my issue with this is that we're boiling it down to: Greenlight = problem Greenlight with money down/no Greenlight = all systems go! I understand that I may be naive, but from my point…
@BagelHero: Thx for that link. I am still wrapping my head around PBR. I thought I could use a constant value for spec and a map for glossiness. My thought was the spec value of rusted metal and wood/plastic wasn't different enough to require a map and being that rusted metal isn't considered metal I could just set…
The material definition is very off. I'll be honest with you, I can't tell for sure what material any of the parts are supposed to be. I mean I guess that the handle is supposed to be wood with some crystals on it and some leather straps wrapped around it, but I can only tell that from the colors and nothing else. So some…
First of all, phenomenal work! But their is something bothering me about her overall presentation and I'm going to nitpick a bunch of things... 1) Your presentation of a "Warchief" isn't conveyed at all through her face, she reminds me of Crystal Dynamic's interpretation of Lara Croft which is an unsure young woman. Her…
^^What everyone else is saying. Art direction and cohesion is about making an established rule set and sticking to it. A really simple way to look at it is how corporations use the same sets of logos, brand colors, and typefaces and apply that to all of their documents/videos/print/websites/etc. such as something like…
Great finish juancaratino! seeing the progress from the beginning its come a very long way. I'm sure you learned a lot in the process too. Id say, to push the realism further its best to consider the fact that muscle has skin and fat that covers it, so you want to smooth more areas out so its not quite so defined (like…
Funny thing is I work for Her Interactive. 50-60% of our staff is female so my slant on this rant is a bit skewed. I'm kind of tired of this male vs female games rant everyone gets stuck on. I look at it more of a "drunken frat brat game" Vs "a game with a good story or compelling game play". I guess I have to lump myself…
its looking pretty good for a low-poly scene, but i think you're underestimating ds spec "After reading some spec sheets they all agreed a game at 30fps could hand 2048 tris onscreen at once so I wanted to keep it under 1000 tris since the characters onscreen would take up the remainder of tris" it's not 2048 tris in total…
It isn't that easy. Not everyone can afford to live near work. Northern California is a good example. The Bay Area is where all the work is. And because of this cost of living has gone up considerable throughout the years. Half the people who live in the bay area are only there because they've lived there before the huge…
I've done dozens of small fixes and changes to the the various maps. I also added the green glow and runes finally and messed with the shader a bit more. Bobo : I actually wanted to have more skulls on her, but somehow forgot to add them. I originally had the logic of wanting her to not have completely rigid chest peice so…
