Re: AR design
The linework is very random ... ask yourself which line relates to which line, how the volumes overlap in space, and so on ... If you dont spend time thinking about that and/or testing it as a blockout you'll likely end up with something quite flat and 'extruded'. The whole DVD summed up in 4 minutes (its got everything in… -
Re: The Doom of Our Sci-Fi
Sci-fi is like other mentioned before, an extension of what we have already - if it extends too far, it kind of becomes fantasy. Clarke's third law sums that up kind of nicely. If you do want to go with a somewhat different look though, perhaps look to older sci-fi and in the direction of old sci-fi and "retro-futurism"?… -
Re: Some art test, need feedback...
Ah I see mate, sorry if I mentioned things which may have sounded patronising. Didn't even realise all the info about the test sorry, must have missed it when flicking through the posts. To sum up what I was rambling about texture streaming, basically if you could make it a 256x256 instead of a 512x512 its awesome sauce!… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I think what we can all take away from this is... 1. The art style depends on what type of game you're trying to make and who you're marketing it to. 2. It depends on the art direction the team wants to go. 3. Technology has the ability to largely improve graphics 4. If you're a crappy artist it doesn't matter, your art is… -
Re: AVP2 trailer
avp1 was like this big hype shit. they said we would see aliens fight predators... We saw two minutes of chopped up fighting... And then I thought it would be the female and the predator making out.. I liked parts of it and liked the ending the bit where the pred alien comes out in the ship. I thought the fxs were pretty… -
Re: Making of Halo 3...
[ QUOTE ] So I'm kinda confused, Bungie said that when the trailer came out, this stuff wasn't pre-rendered...now they are kinda saying that it is? I dunno I'm confused, it looks pretty cool tho. [/ QUOTE ] Uhh ??? At the end of the documentry the guy says " This is the game , this is the engine , this is what Halo 3 is… -
Re: yes doctor, it's about my normal maps
hmm no I dont think maya gives you access to w. Your theory sounds right to me MoP, bit of a pain in the arse though. So does that mean your games normal map rendering has to be tied in to whatever particular normal map generating algorithm your software uses? so to sum it up, they wrote a viewport preview that displays… -
Re: What would you Do with an extra $5000.00?
The problem with mutual funds or any stock investment is that, besides dividends paid, the stock market is a zero sum game. This means that for every person who gains a dollar, another person loses a dollar. The way to gain money is to invest smarter than the bottom half of people playing. This can be challenging. The long… -
Re: t
As far as implants go, as long as they fit the figure of the woman (even if they're a little larger than normal, but still accentuate her looks properly), I generally have no problem with the idea. Elysium.. that pict just about made me throw up... pogo's pict just about sums up what i said though, if you look at the… -
Re: What programs are best for texturing low-poly models?
I think this about sums it up imo. at this point mudbox has all the stuff I want and nothing I don't want. which makes it very clean. built by production artists for production artists. 3dc can get the job done but its in a wild state of dev. and I think more focused on pushing new untested tools and workflow. a little…
