Round up, round up, ladies and gents. It's Friday and it's time to re-cap with what's been happening around Polycount and other communities this week. A bunch of cool art from our very own talent pool, jokes, some comic related art over at ZBrush Central and some CGHUB goods. Put on your bibs because it's time to feast…
I love the pyro class. It works well in close spaces and in tunnels. You're also a eng's best friend for flushing out spies. Out in the open you're a sitting duck. I think the main thing to remember is that you have other weapons, light them on fire and if they back out of range, light em up with the shotty. Q is right…
By perspective they might have meant, locked like a side scroller or RTS. Or moving around and thru the smoke like a flight sim or first person shooter. Since you are asking for VOLUMETRIC clouds I'm a bit confused since thats not really an artist thing? From my experience with smoke there are a few ways to do it and most…
**The Fire Treatment** The night was colorfully black with a spat of fuzziness. It made the forest look delightfully spooky. Between the trees, in a little glade, three yordles sat by a campfire. One of them was quite elderly but vigorous, he set up his toys around the camp. One was smaller and positively restless,…
100% agree with all of that Tim. I remember watching one video that very dramatically told the tale of one of these poor guys who got all excited that he finally landed a job in AAA at Taletell (however you spell it). He upped and moved his family only to lose the job before it started, and of course now they were in…
i think your art is really great as it is but with just a bit more polish on a few projects it would be indistinguishable from the best AAA art right now. here are my opinions in no particular order: DRAGON the dragons surface details feels a bit muddy, like it has no sharp details. The rendering is majorly holding it…
Hey Guys I thought it would be fun and interesting to see what peoples top 50 favorite films are! I was inspired to post this after hanging out with some friends at the bar tonight talking about the very same thing. Mind you this is not a list of the best films of all time, so you shouldn’t feel bad if you don’t have the…
Hi, I'm learning to program UDK (Unreal Engine 3 ) since a year ago, while making a game prototype . Now that the prototype is fairly complete it is time to look for people who work with me in this game, especially modelers , animators and mapmakers . First of all I show a video summary of what I've done. I've been using…
I don't know that Death is necessarily the answer to what is universally feared. My observation is that in most games death is the primary loss condition, yes - be it Chess or Mario - so long as there is a theme that suggests the game piece as a person or life: King or Plumber. So death should be avoided and so the game…
While I don't generally pay much attention to the news i feel that, knowing what they are doing is most beneficial to my and others well being. I feel a lot of the states people are just using DB's quoted approach. I feel that is where most of the problem is, then you get the people who speak out about what they are doing…
