Re: Best Method To Get Started With Game Art/Game Creation
I love the ambition but I'd caution about the making your own game part so soon, as it really does take an incredible amount of time and effort. Just don't make the mistake of choosing to make a game that aspires to be like GTA, Skyrim, Battlefield, etc. in that they'd basically take forever to create which increases your… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
So took the time finally to read through this thread and I'm glad I did/ (glad) its around. Really informing stuff all around. Great thoughts everyone and thanks for sharing! As far as the workshop layout is concerned, its minor but there should be a set amount of entries on each page. There are options for 9/18/30 per… -
Re: Maxscript - find name and position in a txt.file
The method you are considering would be really slow and difficult. I think the best method is to print both lists at the same time and then combine them. See below. ( --CREATE A DATA STRUCT struct gameObject ( name = "", positions = #(), rotations = #() ) --SAVE THE CURRENT SELECTION selObjects =… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
We chose to leave the rendering loop at 30 fps (default for Unity on iOS). We are at a solid 30 fps on both cpu and gpu on the iPhone 6 and that is with tons of stuff on screen. In the quieter moments of the game, we get around 100 drawcalls (geometry and transparent combined) and the game still renders at 30 fps but it… -
Re: MODO Top Ten Scripts
I use MODO for modeling and UVing prop assets for game engine use. Scripts 1-5 improve general usability/UI. 6-7 are a part of my modeling workflow. 8-10 are a part of my UVing workflow. * Eterea Snapping Bar – Cristobal Vila http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=119&t=80869 I dock this at the bottom of… -
Re: Dwarven Fighter
Thanks, konstruct. And spot on with the bit about the noise in the hair. I think it helped a lot. (and yes... if I dig deep, I think I can conjure up memories of these 'telephone cords' of which you speak :P) Well, I've had a nice productive weekend, and I'm to the point now where I think I'm just about finished with the… -
Re: Roman game assets based on scan
These assets will be in an interactive learning program, wich will have a roman level, Aquincum. The deadline was very close, and there were more than 30 assests wich I had to deliver. So I had to make assets as fast as I can, and worked out relativley fast ways to do it. Please let me know if i did anything dumb!… -
Re: A Practical Guide On Normal Mapping For Games
Great write-up on normal mapping. I've compared the doc to my own notes on this subject and found some topics that could be added to it/additionally covered, to get an even wider scope. 1. There was a lot of discussion on beveling lowpoly edges for the purpose of normal mapping. Some summary on beveling would be great:… -
Re: The Death March Problem of Crunch Time.
I've been doing this for over 12 years now, worked for 7 different studios, shipped a half-dozen games, and worked on dozens more that never made it. I can literally count the number of "mandatory" crunch days I've participated in on one hand. Now, at my age and experiences, I simply won't do it anymore. I really don't… -
Re: Palin interview, better than a nip slip
Is this thread meant to seek truth in politics, or only drinking the cool-aid for one's personal views? My goal is to, once again, point out the inconsistency in your [now-apparent] hate of Mrs. Palin. (1) I am not campaigning for movie theaters. Hopefully you see the non sequitur reasoning that would compare one's…
