Wow there are quite a few there. Many businesses can seem really indifferent to breaches and then the next minute you get the full weight of their concerns focussed at you it seems. This is why you seem to be best doing a GTA1/Transport Tycoon type approach where the people looking know exactly what it is but it's just…
@Bryan Cavett: I just tried to move one image into a test directory (away from from where it originally was). Turned the layer on and off and restarted Photoshop, and it is still there. I'm guessing it saves a "local" copy of the image to the psd. You can still edit the image, and when you go to save the edit, it…
FirebornForm, Thanks for the comments, it helps me to know what is working, and also that I think focusing more on the clarity, and simplicity will be important moving forward. I totally agree that a lot of the eye candy effects have been overdone in the past, but I can't really fault them too much, because when its a new…
[ QUOTE ] Is it neccessary to remind you that a hurricane just made a noticeable impact on the transportation network, power grid, energy infrastructure, ports and tourism? Do you think it's good that we're tapping into the reserve? Why are you so pessimistic about what can or cannot happen. It's not over. [/ QUOTE ] How…
Ah, all good, also worth mentioning posting work for peer review will often be a useful strategy to exploit when stuff goes sideways or gets a little bumpy. In general terms, I'd agree. To always have either a 'trade' or 'degree' behind you as a backup contingency was likewise instilled, throughout my late teens waay back…
Hi, First of all, thanks for your feedback... ;) These are ships for a mobile game (an endless runner) where the models in game will be very small, so I had to exaggerate the details in order to look good at that size. I can't go overboard with the metalness because it is set in space where there is not much to reflect,…
Its hard for me to see a tool like this at a price beyond $50 if all thats added are texture slots and maybe some light adjustment. As it stands currently - someone can use UDK for full-on scenes, and its free, but the price is learning the tool (there is also the added recognition/respect the Unreal engine carries) - for…
You don't have tell him "okay, pay me X amount per hour", you just estimate to yourself how much time you think it will take you from start to finish, then you give him a number and tell him that's how much I want. As for calculating the hourly rate, a lot of things would go into it. for example: 1- Your skill level 2-…
I'm not sure but perhaps the GeForceFX supports OpenGL's shading language(GLSL). Perhaps you can try to change the xNormal's default graphics driver to OpenGL ( instead of DX9 ) and you'll get shadows... but perhaps it's a tool old card so GLSL could be not supported. In fact, my FX5200 does not suport it ... I'm not sure…
I would say that you should choose which direction you want to go, environments or characters as it can put off some people that might be looking at recruiting you. If you are going in to gaming chances are that you won't be doing both as each avenue needs dedicated teams and you need to let people know where you want to…
