Hmm sorry I missed this post until now.. So far everything mentioned is right on.. Although ONE weekend certainly isnt enough to take in 1% of the things to do.. I wish you had gotten in touch with me personally.. Hell I would have met you somewhere and took you around myself. Hell I could have given you a bulletproof vest…
Props! ART JAM - FRIDAY 27December2013 - 09January2014 So this art jam we will be doing props. The jam is to be focused more on textures and lighting (presentation) and less on the model. So I have determined a soft cap of 500 tri's. If you need more, then use them, but try not to put 500 into something like a crowbar if…
Outsource Manager (f/m) YAGER - the developer of Spec Ops: The Line - seeks the talents of a passionate Outsource Manager to work on an awesome and exciting unannounced AAA project. Were looking for people who love working in interdisciplinary teams with a flat hierarchy and in a fast-paced and professional environment.…
Here's my take on this: A workstation and a laptop are two very different things. Do not try to get one computer that is both, its not worth the price/compromises you have to make. You can buy/build an EXTREMELY fast workstation PC for under $1500. You leave this in your office and you don't need to worry about size, heat,…
Yup. It's Yerli. He just talks whatever rubbish suits him at the time regardless of the reality. My favourite Yerli examples are how he justifies changes in his business: What EA said about Crysis Release: EA confirmed Crysis had sold over 1 million units in the two months it had been available in the same transcript.…
Well, the whole machismo "shit sux" thing, I think a lot of that is simply that polycount as a whole has grown up a lot. With more people getting industry jobs and the whole industry in general maturing, you see that reflected here, the end result being a bit more of a work appropriate environment. The games industry is…
Am I the only one who actually liked the direction they took with POP2? Sure, I still love the first one a bit more, but I feel it was still an equally valid direction to go with the sequel...it sort of makes sense in terms of the storyline...the prince has had to leave behind everything he cares about, and spends his days…
Hey! This is indeed a useful skill, and we do have lots of resources to help explain it (and many experienced artists here who do it!). An atlas is one way to do this kind of workflow, where all the UVs are contained within the 0,1 uv space. You can mirror and stack UVs to reuse space, for example to UV both left and right…
I guess I can answer this! I'm a 23 years old Technical Level Artist from France, and a couple of years ago I got a job offer in Eastern Europe. I had basically 5 days to get ready and tell my family and friends I'm gonna leave for a country they knew nothing about. At first, you might think you have to make a choice…
If McCain was like the McCain of 2000 i think this race would be closer and i would not believe that defeating him in this election would be so important. But we are coming off 8 years of horrendous Bush/GOP rule and being a Republican is to be politically radioactive. The problem McCain has is that for starters he is…
