Re: Explosions at Boston marathon
it's not childish, sneakymcfox. In the days after 911 there were instant retaliations across the country on Muslim-American citizens who were entirely innocent. I heard about exchange students getting beat at the college I was going to and of normal everyday people of Middle-eastern decent getting harassed/harmed/etc. And… -
Re: Max vs. Modo
Yeah the stack is the single biggest difference when it comes to modeling in max vs modo. I know a lot of max guys really struggle to give up the stack, and I can see why. On the other hand, I feel like the everyday normal operation of pretty much everything(again outside of the stack, which is a huge component of using… -
Re: Anyone else worried about SOPA?
I don't understand where they get those figure from too. I can assure, no matter what I typed in, MegaUpload is the last place you will find it since MU fakes 'full servers' BS forcing you to wait a couple of a hours before trying again. Plus, their 'rewards' system is also very poor, making pirates choose 'slower'… -
Re: Splash Damage art test(WIP) to improve my skills
Hey dude, I'm new to the industry / still learning and my advice would be to use this as a chance to learn things that you will need everyday in the industry. I don't know an artist who doesn't wish they had stepped out of their comfort zone a little more before getting a full time job and cutting down to only a few hours… -
Re: thoughts on Linux?
should be fine as an everyday OS - but without photoshop, zbrush, max, you-name-it, ... you need to have a pretty narrow focus to be happy with it because whatever app/workflow comes out that turns out interesting - linux will not get it/will be the last to get a bastard-port some day. i think it's actually more… -
Re: working out scale of a concpet
Use a human reference model in the scene. Do a blockout of the environment and get it into the target engine ASAP so you can get a player's eye view. Dependent on the game camera, you may need to overscale some items so they don;t appear tiny. For example, the scale of everyday furniture in Max Payne is about 1/3 bigger… -
Re: Quarentined Street Scene [UDK]
google image search graffiti or graffiti alphabet- both return some very helpful reference. I know you could spend a lifetime trying to perfect a graffiti style but you could stand to do a study or two. Additionally the current grafiti you have looks disjointed. The top is supposed to be sprayed but the bottom may or may… -
Re: Environment art - A foot in the door?
your day job can be a routine job that not related to art, so once you get home you can focus on something you love , which is character art. if you work everyday doing art, you wont have enough energy looking the same thing/subject at home. no matter people opinion about getting job, artist is artist. as personal i dont… -
Re: drawing principles books
Not to sound like an elite-is snob but those books are all good for the garbage. They're OK I guess for explaining some of the theory and thought processes that go behind drawing, but really I feel they are more for hobby-ists. If you're serious about drawing, I'd say the best way to learn is just to draw. Do it everyday,… -
Re: Shoddy games courses.
ok yer on your own with the pro-school thing. They are a scam.. If you cant learn to dedicate yourself to learning something, the thing you will have to do for hours and hours a day everyday plus crunching, and are easily distracted... maybe you should find work in the government?? You have to love the work, period... if…
