Agreed with everything that nathan just said. Seeing as i do pixelart for a living i might be able to help out a bit more. I'd say your biggest issue is that you are working at waaaaay too high a resolution. 200px high for a character is rediculous for anything short of a pixelart game. Pixelart is all about being fast to…
Speaking of responsible reporting, some biased liberal news source with a good deal more credibility than the user submitted shit we've seen so far making some simple phonecalls and refuting the idea: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Methane-Bubble-Earthquake-by-Rob-Kall-100623-979.html?show=votes I agree with you,…
Just one comment about your presentation, you should brighten your texture sheets for display on your website, so that people can actually see what is in the texture. Don't change the ones you actually use on the model of course. I second what others have said about and baking more stuff into the map. I actually just…
You haven't made that clear beyond people whom use those commercial banks. Well, first, we can tell right away you are biased with your inherent "slapdown" comment. Second. My parents use credit unions and so can yours. You have not given any reason beyond laziness. What? Their retirement is tied up in it? Start to move it…
I also realised it was time to bow out after my (admittedly) rant against perna. I did not become offended until we started addressing each others posts directly rather than focusing on the discussion. But that's my fault since I felt it was more important to discuss how communication broke down than the topic itself (I'll…
I hate how people accept these reviews/Rating sites as the lord and savior of how they buy games instead of taking it a basic Opinion. No one really tries the games out for themselves anymore they just wait for a review and or see what their friends have to say. Instead they Bash good games because it got a 6 or compare a…
I find analogue sculpting skills transfer quite easily across too digital although I'd not advise including traditional examples for a 3D biased portfolio if you've thoughts of pursuing a career based upon a realistic figurative skillset; because in my opinion it's best not complicate matters when seeking maximum traction…
I don't think the situation's gonna change anytime soon. I'm extremely biased and pessimistic on the subject but from my own experience with schools and the testimonials of many other students, I feel like some of these institutions are stuck in their own bubble where basically : - students don't know shit and therefore…
Awesome info, thanks. I like the depth buffer idea, but have no experience with it. Does the gradient range generally cover the whole scene? Or is it kind of a full white-to-black range for each entity (or per-surface?)? We have some interesting controls going into the specular bits, don't know if it'll be enough yet.…
Recently all the Role playing game topics have got me pumped up! If you guys (and girls <3 ) don't mind sharing some good games that are modifiable, so that when I'm playing the game I can start making models for it which I could use later. (if you catch my drift, not in a dirty way ofcourse...) My computer is no Rancor,…
