I do hope more studios move towards using an art test and the mandatory probation period to assess a candidates ability and competancy especially for junior roles and new hires over using the portfolio exclusively to evaluate this. Like at EA, on my project I didn't find any direct 1:1 correlation between a candidates…
I think it's well accepted that object space looks the best with the least effort, considering it overrides the smoothing of the low poly and just takes over. While you can get tangent space bakes to look nearly identical to an object space one, it takes more effort and you need the baker's tangents to be synced with your…
[ QUOTE ] And there's just not enough buttons to push, and thats probably due to the fact that its designed poorly for more than 4 buttons (at least when using two joysticks) [/ QUOTE ] You have to remember that it is also a 3D mouse (at least that's what DeathTrip says), which gives you a whole new range of control.…
er ... in the middle of all that, is the question you really want answering this one : "Tile textures or unwrap the house and paint by hand?" it'll generally depend on how large and complicated the building is and therefore how many bespoke textures / unwrapped parts you need while still keeping a decent texture res over…
Overall it looks like it turned out pretty solid. The scope is my favorite part of the whole thing if I had to choose the stand out component. Just to echo what the other guys were saying, and only cause my model is temporarily suffering a similar issue, is the scratches. While you haven't gone overboard, they do seem…
Hey, can't help it, but he looks more fishy than werewolfy. I don't really dig the concept of the whole. He looks like he's halfway through his transformation from human to werewolf. Partly comes from these factors: - he doesn't seem to have a nasal bone - his eyes seem way too far apart, while his skull still follows the…
Did programming as a teenager. Hated it. At a later age I dropped the whole thing and tried to find something new. I tried going to school for traditional animation, hated it too, so I dropped out. But I took some life-drawing classes while studying animation, and that stuck with me. I really liked nerding out over…
Wait, so you're saying to still use the controller...while using Natal for an FPS? I know I wouldn't spend money on it if I still had to use the controller...I thought the whole purpose of this thing was to NOT use the controller. Plus it be weird to play an FPS with a controller while bobbing and weaving like your playing…
squirrel, I could see my weapon the whole time. No idea why youre glitching. Gauss, I think you need to play more of the demo to make an more informed opinion. You've played abuot 5-10 minutes it seems. I agree that the force burst is odd, but its hardly very annoying. I also dont understand why you wouldn't like the…
