Re: Blizzard induces pants sexytime explosion
[ QUOTE ] Edit again: just saw an interesting quote from another forum "Well the theory behind being NOT nex-gen at all is so it can be available for South Korea users, who control the Starcraft market, and GeForce4 is an average graphic card in there." [/ QUOTE ] That's how the company has always looked at it. From a… -
Re: Teenage Demon
Took my sweet time to do a small paintover to help you a bit, (and I need to practice teaching people) win-win!! 1. You want to paint as much ambient shading into the texture as you can, and in the "standard" case you'll have shading under the head, so that the head doesn't look like it has no neck. 2. Blocking out more… -
Re: which 3d package?
I agree with Vig. Choose between Max and Maya. I personally learned 3D using max (6-7 years or so ago) and got my first jobs at studios using it, but now I've been using maya for 10 weeks at school and I like maya much better. Modeling isn't really better in maya, but for anything else I prefer it to max. When making your… -
Re: Animation tutorials
I have about 25 pages of bookmarks dedicated to animation, my freind. I'm actually starting to become a 3D animator myself (But more focused in feature films) and I've actually set up a detailed plan and all sorts of things. One little thing before I lay down some tutorials I have in my stash I recommend you to, if you… -
Re: Why I'm never having kids
One tip about parenting: Just about everything you say you're going to do before you have kids flies out the window once you do have kids. I rarely spank my kids. It takes something extreme like recently when I witnessed my middle daughter hit my older daughter in the back a few times with one her bigger, harder plastic… -
Re: How to Craft a Great Multiplayer Experience
Good read Adam. Did you ever research live events? On the NWN/NWN2 mod I am involved with we have done live world changing events where players were responsible for doing quests that would change the course of the server. One example is an event where I built a series of levels for a war we wanted to cut loose on the… -
Re: Neverwinter Nights 2
Well with my AMD 64 4000+ 1mb L2 Cache 2 gigs DDR PC3200 Corsair Geforce 6800 GT I BARELY get 30 FPS with medium to low settings . I'm a little disappointed, mainly because the graphics don't seem to be that outstanding. Don't get me wrong, they're great, and the faces/head models are really cool and animated well. It just… -
Re: Max Payne - movie
I saw it on Friday too. I think I may have seen you in the queue, Jackablade. I actually enjoyed the film... Its far from being the best film I've ever seen, but it was enjoyable. Its definitely one of the better 'game to movie' films I've seen, not that it says a lot because most of them are pretty turds. A few things you… -
Re: what to work on as an enviromental artist
Environment arist can mean a lot of things. Technically, an environment artist may be required to make everything in the game world not related to characters. I've done a ton of different duties in an environment artist role, and some of my co-workers had even more random stuff that they focused on at some point or other.… -
Re: the problem with 'tech' these days
So are you using another device to actually type in long strings of letters, or are you actually standing there punching that into your phone? Can I send a text msg like an email? Or use any kind of device that was actually built for typing? Because a phone, even though it has little letters next to the numbers is not an…
