Re: Steam on Linux beta signup is live!
It seems like a weird chicken and the egg thing. On the one hand myself, and many others I know, keep saying we'd love to ditch windows and go for Linux development, but the problem is the tools. No engine, no Max/Maya/Modo, no zBrush, and Gimp is not quite up to par with Photoshop. Then on the other hand the devs keep… -
Re: How long did it take for you to make a living in the 3D industry?
Hmm...I see you've posted the same thread on another forum I've a long held membership with, that basically caters to the CGI Film/TV VFX sector of the entertainment industry. I'll suggest if you like, running a search on their GD board there are a number of relevant discussions on the subject. As for myself, my primary… -
Re: Introducing Lys - Open Beta!
Thanks for your reply metalliandy. Yep we know but sadly in WebGL it's not that easy to do. First there is only support for DXT5 dds profile right now, which leaves you with only 8bits per channel or roll your own raw buffer for full precision. Second and probably more importantly in WebGL there is no textureCubeLod (at… -
Re: Sci-fi concept artist in need
The Meat Grinder, indie sci-fi FPS http://www.moddb.com/games/meat-grinder We now have the concept artists on board and the game is progressing fine so far and we are now in the position to recruit some more volunteers. If you have the skill set to fit the criteria on one of these fields then I want to hear from you. 3d… -
Re: [Portfolio] Will Hurst, Environment Artist
In all fairness, I don't think that my advice is that sketchy. First off, it looks like just a high poly model. Not to discredit Will's work, but I could do that. I might be new to video game art but I am not a stranger to art. I am merely pointing out that he may be showcasing a piece that has been done before. A… -
Re: How is GIMP these days?
Gimp can do most of the things Photoshop can do. It's got a single-window mode by now so floating window mess is history. Vanilla Gimp isn't terribly good for painting with a tablet, but there are smaller external programs that can take that role. I personally like Mypaint. Gimp and Mypaint share the .ora (open raster)… -
Re: Battlefield2 modified using Python
KDR: I installed Blender on a computer during my class. But I really couldn't use the program to show them anything Python related. That was years ago when the app was 10x worse than it is now. I know about XSI being Python compatible with scripts. That's awesome. I just try to keep my XSI fanboyism to a minimum here. hehe… -
Re: Battlestar
[ QUOTE ] Actually, why did they get shut down? [/ QUOTE ] Because Sci-Fi bought SG1 from Showtime. SG1 was slotted into the Friday schedule in FarScape's 9pm slot, pushing FarScape to 10pm. That caused viewership for FarScape to drop a bit. Additionally, FarScape's budget continued to rise as they added more exotic… -
Re: [3D Pimp] UT2004 Playermodel Lupine Male
This is a hard thing to do Scott; give an animal a humanesque stance and demeanour. But i think you've pulled it off. The armour looks a little 'airbrushed' right now. I Perhaps it just needs some texture. Still perhaps it wont really matter If it's getting an env. map. As for the edge flow issue, well, it's not nearly as… -
Re: [Portfolio] Mazvix- Environment & Prop Artist
@Goraaz - I think the thing that is "scary" is that Mazvix is one of the unexperienced artists AND is skilled. You needn't look far to see that there are a lot of very skilled and talented people here who have no experience and are just looking to get their feet wet at an entry level position, with entry level pay. That's…
