Re: Tomb Wall: How would you create this?
To me the concept looks like its built up almost completely of square stones. In that case, just go modular. sure there are different sizes and shapes and even a couple entrances. There's 2 different ways to approach this, depending on how you much memory you want to save (which shouldn't be the case since it will be for… -
Re: Do graphics actually hinder gameplay?
I think OP's point was more production than gameplay related. I think that mis-allocation isn't really the problem - i.e. "art gets more budget than design, hence the gameplay sucks!" isn't really the reason why some games with great graphics just offer mediocre gameplay. Design is creative work and unlike art your… -
Re: Graphic Tablet indecision
Also it might be worth noting that Wacom recently changed their product names for some unknown reason. Old names : - entry level range (starting around 69/99) : Bamboo - high level range (200 and up) : Intuos (generations 3,4 and 5 is what you need to look at. As a matter of fact even an Intuos2 is still rock solid, but… -
Re: Online "Industry Secrets" for sale
I've had a couple semesters worth of study at my local community college (3D Modeling, UI design) and I thrived in that environment even though the curriculum and instructors were both pretty underwhelming. 3D Art has blown my mind wide open. Unfortunately that school didn't work out for me but I've amassed an unhealthy… -
Re: I don't enjoy drawing, but my 3D is awesome
I would say that alot of the venom has mainly come from his attitude, though I'll say this in response. Your not the first person I've heard say that, personally you don't "NEED" to be a drawsmith to get a job as a 3D Artist as you've proven and many others over the years have proven. Having excellent 3D skills is more… -

Re: My Animation Showreel
Heya, Ben! Here's just a few things that I noticed after a few views of your demo reel: I noticed that many parts of Mathilda's face isn't expressive enough to make the dialogue convincing. For instance, when she says 'Hi', her face doesn't say anything. She doesn't seem happy or cheery, she mostly just stares blankly. I'm… -
Re: Degree in Architecture to video game environment design
I'm in a similar situation. I earned a degree in computer animation in 2003. After a year of working in an animation studio on the production side (nothing creative), I landed a job in architectural visualization. No architecture experience was needed. Since then, I have been working in the field but now I want OUT. I… -
Re: What have you sacrificed for game art?
Going on 4 years at the same place, and it seems to be really stable, I keep waiting for the floor to drop out and be back out looking for work but the company has been really smart with how its structured and how it handles its money. I've been married for 12 years, I have a 3 yr old, I own both of my cars (paid them off… -
