To update- the bottom right design won, so I took the time to finish that sculpt up :) I've decided to start adding the lore behind these beasts, in case people don't feel like looking it up :) The bakunawa is from Philippine mythology, a sea serpent believed to be the cause of eclipses. I followed the description giving…
Hey all! So my brother moved my website to a faster server. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the previous picture links are broken. Not to worry though, they're still at my website if anyone happens to read this. Even if you're reading...from the future :O Edit: Nevermind, they seem to be back... by their own free…
As far as #3 is concerned - assuming you're talking about a live, physical presentation during an interview - practice is essential, especially if you're not used to public speaking. Make up some index cards - or even scraps of paper - listing features you feel are important, then put those notes into a coherent form, and…
The world is always ending for someone. Here is a list of people that have failed to schedule the end of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events When people don't understand something they tend to fear it and think worst case scenario. It helped keep us safe when we where…
Greetings Polycount, I've just started getting my Masters Degree in computer games design and for the first project I've been given, I have to build an environment from a piece of concept art from either Halo or World of Warcraft. I haven't attempted an environment piece in two years and last time I tried, it went…
When I was writing my post, I originally had a point that caloric needs vary and for people who are both short and thin, they might actually be in the 1500 range for their base metabolic rate. I looked back at the article though, and the picture of Mr. Fergusson, and I took that bit out because he's definitely not in that…
So. What to say.... Well, for starters, half of my time has been devoted to making it so that the frame rate stays at 24 fps. The big culprit was the grass clumps. I apparently overestimated what the unreal engine can handle as far as poly counts go. So, I spent a lot of time reducing the polys on all the models, only to…
My two cents: I am an Arizona native and have lived in the southwest all my life. I have seen both the good and the bad related to illegal immigration so I'll state my view on both. The Good: There's no doubt the cheap labor pool has it's benefits. I have seen it first hand when it comes to the jobs most Americans arent…
I'm extremely lucky I've worked at the same studio for 6 years and we rarely crunch. It is very much a regular 9-5 job (7-3 actually). I met my wife before I got a job in the industry and she was nervous about leaving a stable career for how unstable this industry can be, which I'm not a fan of either. Part of the reason I…
I am working on a narrative about Taliyah and Ekko's first meeting within Zaun. EDIT: Alright, I've got the first draft of the story finished! Right now it's a bit over 1000 words, so while editing it I've got to trim it down a bit. There's quite a bit of flavor text I may unfortunately have to cut. :'( In any case, tell…
