I wouldn't quite say he's advocating or romanticizing it. But what he says is true. I learned more about the studios and people I worked with on smoke breaks than at any other time. It's a tiny 5min break where you just blow off steam and shoot the shit. I actually miss that quite a bit. You could say to just meet in the…
DarthNater: Don't worry this is far from my first map ;) Its not going to be sniper orientated, but a sniper tower is situated in the map but due to having 4-5 openings, little protection and a shock rifle opposite it is no camp area. And thanks for the GOW layouts, if only UT3 was a tactical and paced like GOW ;) mLicky:…
For 3d it would be nice to sculpt the major and secondary forms. Some colors would be nice too for rough lay outs. This would be great for working with real life sculpting sessions. Tertiary I would assume you need more power. With my old sager 17" monster laptop, I used to use blender to sculpt out anatomy from real life.…
@EarthQuake Thanks for letting us know. Is there an ETA for the next update? Toolbag updates are really rare, hopefully this could come out as a hotfix soon? Also regarding the LOD baking: http://polycount.com/discussion/201079/lod-baking-in-marmoset Has this officially been noted as a bug/issue & will this have a fix…
@JonathanF My problem doesn't steam from anything that they are showing. My problems come from how they are toting this as new tech, when it isn't. It has been done before. AMD and Intel can and would support this tech if it were viable for what needs to be done for games. They have a lot of money that they can throw…
Make production art that can be put into a game. That encompasses everything. What do you feel like is missing from what I said? By the time I got to my first full time job with InXile, I did the following: Worked on 4 completed, shipped-ish games, 1 of which saw action at GDC and another that was Steam Greenlit, at USC.…
We have finalized the trophy for the contest and we're super happy to share it with you here. Every winner will get a 3d printed physical version of this Greentooth made in steel. The design of the trophy was inspired by the details of the Aegis from Dota 2. The scrollwork from the shield was used to form the body of the…
Indie is based off 801 (modo) and I think Mari 2.5 its about half a year old. Doubt they will upgrade it to the latest versions until after a few service packs hit the non indie version of Modo. Update will also probably have a cost associated with it, but it cant be by much. Only time will tell though. You can try…
Chrisradsby: Thanks :) The proportions are a little off, but I am going to worry about those a little later, and see how it looks when I get more props in it. Seeings as I no longer have a job, I will be able to go full steam aheard on this project. Here are two props I finished today. All the wood objects in the scene are…
It forces the world to STOP using crappy Integrated video chipsets. Now computer manufactures are starting to pay attention to video cards. When I was doing support for Atari the #1 solution for most of the customer contacts was; "I'm sorry you don't meet the min spec. Specifically your Intel 82845g EXTREME graphics…
