Re: Game testing as the entry level position?
I work in QA right now and what everyone in both threads has been saying is true. QA is very divorced from actual development in most cases and there's not a lot of chance for advancement. Probably more-so where I work, but I can imagine more studios and publishers adopting this kind of system. It goes as far as the fact… -
Re: Custom Animations Accepted?
I think it has more to do with your latter point, I hightly doubt it has to do with that the fact that people are already doing it. I'm doing animations without guidelines which means I could be doing it totally wrong, wasting my time, and the animations I do were never even considered. At least guidelines set in stone a… -
Re: Game art pipeline
So. Those fantasy weapons are a pretty good choice for starting, because usually they aren't too complex. Do this: Method/Style 1 - Highpoly->lowpoly->baking normal and other maps 1.

Any time you can just text search a… -
Normal Map Black (hard) Edges in V-Ray
I know that normal map issue will never end, so... :) I created a lp cylinder and hp cylinder with top edgeloop beveled. In lp cylinder I set the top edge loop hard (because it's 90 degrees). in uv I split all hard edges to the separate shells. gave them 1 km padding :D duplicated lp cylinder. locked normals. triangulated.… -
Re: Painting a "flow" normalmap?
im very lazy about these things, so i would make a parallel fallof map with z-axis as direction, and use the rendered grayscale image for the blue channel. x and y channel can be created, by rearranging the smoothing groups so that you have some sort of segmented optics, now you have 2 normals per vertex and so you have 3… -
