peanut: I didn't say hawken himself was full of crap. However, a number of the points in his original post are full of crap. If I said "Iron melts at 20 degrees Celsius, that's a fact" ... then it'd be fair to say that my statement was full of crap. This is because my statement is a lie. Some of hawken's statements are…
I like spawning without a weapon, on principle that it makes it a bit more realistic, and really makes you focus until you're able to find one. I absolutely agree with the never-ending respawning zombies that seem to have come about in the last patch. If you're stuck with a loud weapon like an Enfield, and you're trapped…
Hi Dethling, Having worked on Arkham Knight I hope I can give you some tips! You identified a key idea we often explored when making the environments. Take a location "X" and combine it with theme/character/environment "Y". Often X and Y were contrasting and it leads to lots of fun little ideas. An example would be the old…
If you plan on recording footage from Unity, then I would suggest using Fraps. Fraps records losslessly at whatever resolution your application is running at so the footage will look just like it does on your screen. The main downside to using Fraps is that due to the quality of the footage, the filesize of your screen…
Finishing this was Phase I of a larger concept. Phase II is to turn it into a magic car, and really fuck some shit up. Think, like, the Delorean in Back to the Future III. Where you could see all the weird modifications they had made to the car. [Edit: Let me add some pictures here. It was late and I was tired]…
Hi! I think with this kind of compound shape it might be quicker to construct it from individual, separate elements. Then you could either merge them together and use the resulting mesh as a shrink-wrap target for a re-topologized mesh or re-mesh the shapes into a single mesh and smooth the result. If this is for real-time…
Irritating week. Heat wave, a hard drive acting odd, and 1k in goods and services from my optometrist and dentist -- after I got out of the fetal ball I took a stab at wrapping this up. It is, and mine are. I have taken some liberties in making a few bolts that should be matte black steel, but stayed somewhat true to the…
That's awesome, @Geausselain! Glad you kept at it and was able to get it wrapped up. I think you did a pretty stellar job on it overall, the shape is there and the colors are working well. The place I'd recommend looking more into is how to use channels other than the color to bring a bit of variation to things. Right now…
crap crap crap it's all crap :P i dig the updates BIG TIME. really great adds to your work man. not a fan of rollovers, but that's just personal taste. they make sense for your case and totally are a great solution to distinguish your contribution to a project. they just fill up my little lappy monitor and it makes it hard…
I bet it’s a fault inherent in YouTube’s projection transform, so there’s not much you can do about it. I wonder if they’re wrapping your renders onto a sphere geometry, but it’s fairly low resolution.
