Negotiating Sign-on Bonuses
Hey folks! I get asked a lot about the "business" side of being a game artist, so I thought I would start condensing my brain dumps into short articles. Awhile ago I did a quick blurb in a Discord group about negotiating signon bonuses during interviews. I wanted to take it a step further and make it available to more… -
Newcomer with lofty goals, hoping Polycount will bring me closer
Introduction My name's Ryan. I'm an aspiring indie game developer. I use the alias Renin for pretty much everything online. It's been a long time since I've had an online community to call home, and I'm hoping Polycount will become that community for me. This may end up being a somewhat long post, but it's been so long… -
Re: Combat Beetle Update
you can really do anything with normal maps- just note that this is the point in learning 3d where you are really going to learn there are many different ways of achieving many different result.

Re: What can you do with 3498 tris?
Wow, thank you very much guys, I'm blown away:) First and foremost a little something I'm sorry I didn't make clear earlier.

Re: Microsoft open source OS theoretical discussion
: shrugs : Bill Gate != Microsoft. He might be the chairman but if the companies direction was 100% up to him there would be no X-Box, no Mactopia, no Microsoft Game Studios, etc. He was a clever businessman in the the 80s, but now he's like the previous Nintendo CEO. A dinosaur unwilling to change his ways and views of… -
Re: Location, Location, Location
If you want neat glowing screens and electronics, you could take a (slightly) more original and fitting approach in cathode ray oscilloscopes (which are technically CRT but definitely convey a different vintage to 80s plstic type monitors) Note the very analog appearance which imo is more typical of dieselpunk's epoch.

Re: Tear my portfolio apart - RobinKarlsson3D.com
Thanks! I think you're right in that I need some more modern and real weapons. I checked out imfdb as well and found some great ones so thanks for that recommendation. I did write what I rendered the lowpoly models in (Marmoset Toolbag 1 or 2), the highpolys are all rendered in Blender with either the internal renderer or…
