Re: tablet for browsing, portfolio, pdf
I think that's a big misconception that gets thrown around a lot. Google Play Store has the same amount of apps as Apple's store, last year it caught up in amount. I read somewhere between 800.000 and a million, but it just keeps going up. Marketshare for Android is much larger than IOS (well everywhere but in the US I… -
Re: Learning About Character Modeling
Alright, I'll bite. As far as the model goes there are too many edge loops thrown into this thing. Because you're starting out, you're getting lost in the amount of details you have and not getting the basic silhouette down. This mesh seems like something you could have made in 3DS without touching zbrush as well. Think of… -
Re: Do these metals exist in real life?
Metal isn't naturally shiny, it's naturally reflective. One of the things PBR aims to do is decouple the micro-surface's finish (roughness/gloss) from the amount of light that gets reflected, aka you can edit them independently as you theoretically could in real life. There's always a consistent amount of energy reflected… -
Re: 2014 Gamasutra Salary Survey
Yeah the comparison to an oil change or a haircut is absolutely ridiculous. These jobs are very easy to set fixed rates for, as no matter who your customer is, they will take around the same amount of time, effort, and skill to do. Even hair dressers change different amounts for jobs that require more time or effort, like… -
Re: [UDK] Stockholm train station
pumbaa: You have to either make one small tileable mesh and put some of them together in Maya or 3ds max. This will drastically reduce the amount of objects needed. That's how we solved it at least :) Bbox85: Yup, we are a small group that is developing a game as I write this and we never thought that the amount of objects… -
Re: The Heart Game
Here are the things about the landscape mentioned above for anyone interested in that. The landscape I was working with from my previous update, where precut tiles with a high density of polygons were projected on to a sculpted landscape, then decimated afterwards to bring the polycount back down, ended up not working in… -
Re: New job offer: do you negotiate your salary?
I did, and I was successful. In the phone screen they asked what I wanted, I said I'd like X amount. The amount was based on my past salary, what I knew about the increased responsibilities of the new position, my experience level, and what I anticipated the commuting costs to be (this last part I did not mention in… -
Re: Exotic animals invade a city in Ohio!
Tranquilizers are incredibly expensive. More than you can imagine. Also, they don't have various doses of tranquilizers. They have a fixed amount. In a crisis situation, there is no time to sort out the dosage for each animal. You give the same amount of a small animal as you would a big one. A dose that would kill a small… -
Re: iphone4s tri count limit
There are a ton of factors to consider when dealing with framerate; the engine you are using, the amount of draw calls, the texture sizes and amount of them, what kind of scripts are running, and then also tri count. Generally you will want to research what is best for your Engine on that platform. But I would say just… -
Re: "Why I'm leaving CIG" - a letter from the former character artist on Star Citizen
The fact that this guy 'Roberts' responds to the remarks of Derek's statement about CIG alone, and at the amount that was written doesn't really speak that there's any true innocence behind Roberts side of the story. If it isn't true, a company will not flinch at said remarks. (If it doesn't apply, let it fly) But to the…
