Travis picked one up at midnight, so I stormed his house yesterday and made him show it off. I have to say, wii sports is ridiculously fun. Especially when all the characters in it are your personal avatar. Something satisfying watching your little 3d self beating the crap out of your buddy. I flailed like a wounded…
[ QUOTE ] fire? who says i even give a shit? i'm just making a fun innocent post. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe. I've noticed a pattern with some of your general discussion topics lately. I'm not trying to pile on here, but I do have some advice for you... You need to stop worrying about other people and concentrate on yourself. This…
there are fewer SDKs coming out. with high polycounts and normal maps, it's not as easy to make custom skins. games have dynamic lighting, so creative styles in textures aren't as important. color and lights have to blend well. more guidelines have to be followed to work with the engine's animation system. there are fewer…
Everyone learns differently and I can definitely say that between Nodevember last year and Mayterials this year that I have learned a lot. I use quick iteration materials like these to try new nodes and experiment with different methods without the pressure of needing to make it look absolutely perfect. Having such a…
The CGTalk server is great they help me test my map and give amazing feedback. They also have some really fun maps in rotation, they have some really bazaar maps too but they're fun too. It's a great bunch of guys and they would probably let a few words go right on by if its not an every senstance kind of thing. just not…
Hey everyone, got sort of an update here. After quickly lighting the low poly scene here with just two lights, I've decided to go with a more scary and dark feeling to this environment. I hope that's not against the rules or anything, but it will be much more fun for me that way. I'm also feeling pretty inspired by the…
I've updated the model, I have 2 pains in the ass and 3 pieces of fun ahead of me! The Hands and The Boots will be a massive pain, hands always are but these boots... well looking at the reference pic you'll get the idea. the 3 pieces of fun are the skull codpiece and buckles, the weapon and then the texturing! I do intend…
I don't know what the best models in mice are these days, but I would suggest something that can control sensitivity on the fly. That's a feature I use often. Beyond that its really down to personal preference and the way you use a mouse. I bought a 3d navigator a while back. Really fun for about 1 day. I had the most fun…
lol. All the guys on my team are working for free (including me)We have no choice. Where is the money going to come from, the money tree? Once we get signed by a publisher, then we can pay salaries. Its not rocket science. Look at the user scores for the new Xbox One games.…
So we turned in our 4th game project last friday morning and I'm pretty pleased with the results. :) The game is called UNION and it's a turn based strategy game set in a dystopic cyber punk future. I got to be graphic lead on this project, which was fun and stressful. I didn't realize how much work would actually be put…
