Adam I used to sleep very little when I was getting my degree, especially during finals. The funniest one had to be when I was working on my Senior Studio Game Design project with my friend and I was also rendering things for my Advance Game Design class, maybe it was the other way around. At any rate, my friend was doing…
Being one of the "older" residents of PC, my ride has been a long, strange trip. I first started playing games and dabbling on the computer in the early 80's, just before the great "crash" of video games. The first thing I ever did on a computer was try to recreate Donkey Kong on the Apple II(unsuccesfully). Then I…
hey, I just played it- pretty fun! one note: the game did not look how it was supposed to on my computer- there were these red lines all over the place (like an edge detect filter) gameplay- I love the changing orientation of things- fun dynamic! the first thing I did by the way, when it said a and d to go left/right- I…
I'm not a character artist and don't pretend to be one but I would have said you've got far more to worry about than how to set up your project. With all due respect, if you've stumbled this much at this stage, you're gonna hit some real roadblocks later on. I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to give you some advice…
Well, it was pretty much everything I expected. The spectacle of it all, and all of the ridiculous gadgetry and vehicles were spot on for what I remember of the show/toys. The part that fell flat to me were the characters. G.I. Joe to me (80's child) is all about the characters. I felt like Stormshadow and Snake Eyes were…
@e-freak: Hey man thanks for your critique and words. Means a lot, and the critique is helpful. I hope I do find a job O___o. To reply to some of your crits. While developing we had one idea for the film and came up with some thumbnails and an animatic. We got one song that we thought was going in the right direction and…
And we're back! I think it was like Noob Challenge 6 or 7 the last time I tried one of these, and then I fell off the face of the Earth for some reason. So, I'm off to a bit of a late start here on account of spending the first week of the year super-sick. I decided to try something different with the breakdown. The couple…
You realize of course that this thread may end up as a big flame war between Max and Maya fanbois. Oh and if noone has mentioned it yet, welcome to Polycount :) But aside from that, yes as you've already noticed plugins and tutorials are much more numerous for Max than Maya. That is probably one of the largest benefits of…
Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun with him. I wanted to make him look painterly so I didnt use many overlays and in the areas that I did, I typically ended up painting or smudging it back out. Now to answer a few questions: Rollin: When I think about WoW I think about exaggerated shapes. I had his buckle much smaller at one…
