I guess I'm an odd ball because Zbrush has always clicked with me. When people say they hate the UI and don't get Zbrush I don't really get it. I understand _why_ people don't like it but I guess it just never bothered me. When I have helped people learn ZB I think the biggest thing they get hung up on is how many options…
Your going to have a difficult time finding that perfect tutorial for you, because there are so many different ways to do things and so many techniques for zBrush. Like others have suggested, you just need to try a bunch of things and apply the things that work best for you in your own workflow. Whatever gets the job done.…
Sorry to bring up a game that's been out for a while, but with UC going on I haven't played any games as of late. I went to Jay Evans' place last night to do some gaming and he popped in Uncharted 2 for me. Ho. Ly. FUCK. Those environments? I think they're the best I've _ever_seen. They are the most overally complete,…
I actually keep an eye on their animation tools, they have made some pretty big strides in recent releases but not big enough that I would give up Maya or Max and they certainly couldn't have made Maya or Max redundant 10 years ago. So... I'm still wondering what package this guy is talking about. There must be one tiny…
Bought it! I've been playing for a few hours, and man, time just flies when you're playing this. Clearly barricades are the best thing in the world. And archers just make me so damn happy. ALWAYS MORE ARCHERS! (they make me feel less lonely)
Hi All, I'm a newbie to game development, i'll try to explain the best i can. I wanted to know what are the best practises for building floor pieces in mobile 2.5D platformer games. I've used Mario for an example (see image) as this is the style i will be mimicking as a practice run. The bottom section of the floor looks…
I'm planning on buying a new laptop to replace the current Macbook pro 17 inch as just can't handle newer engines such as Unreal 4. What's currently the best laptop to have for 3d work and working with engines such as Unreal 4 or Cryengine plus other 3d packages, such as 3ds max? Thanks a lot!
I'm a big fan of this series, they're coming out with a new PVP F2P type game called unchained, and just discovered this alienware promotion to get a free alpha key (it may be North America only, not sure). Thought some here might be interested.…
It's really case by case in my opinion. Lots of people will give you very specific recommendations, but that can almost be counter-productive really, you'll learn a lot more by just trying what you feel works best, and by discovering little by little the better solutions for different types of situations. Ideally I just…
Hey everyone, I am having an existential crisis lately to the point where I almost enrolled in a computer science masters program, but realized I am getting ahead of myself. A little background of myself, I graduated from a fine art program that encourages experimentation on things like animation, video and sound. I…
