Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
I always share what I know when I can, because I consider it an investment in future knowledge, because who knows what they will discover with their new information, that I might not have. So by sharing you encourage more knowledge to be created and more chance of you learning even more. I once got shit because I had… -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
that's true. But some talks at GDC and what not will go so far into details, and in some cases, even show code clips and stuff. or rigging solutions that make things more realistic. It's just strange why some things are kept secret, while others arent. *shrug* -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
Unfortunately, no. There are simplified codes, but even those are filled with lots of non-relevant info. It's not just electrical, it's about things like what's behind walls and ceiling tiles. If you shoot a ceiling tile out, what do you see? I would want to do full 3d walk-throughs with before and after in an engine like… -

Share it. Hoarding only hurts you. If you found it, others will too, it will get around eventually. If it comes out you knew about but tried to keep it from others, that's kind of a mark against you and other people might not want to work with you.

Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
The OP and this selfish archetype we are describing does not remotely come close to the reality I know??

And in every instance such a potential mentor has always recognized and rewarded the… -

People get busy, also it is not always easy to teach a lot of things that come from experience. When most people want to post something they want to actually do a good job at it as well, and that takes time and effort which a lot of people dont have. -

Okay, okay. I fess up. The burden is too much! I don't use shift key anymore when adding or subtracting selections when using Photoshop lasso tool. It's easier to just click one of the modes buttons. There. I'm FREEE! :poly136: -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
Keeping secrets in art seems pointless for two reasons: 1. At some point, someone will either reverse engineer or come up with a better technique, making your secret look outdated. 2. There's no "actual" secrets in art. Camera's exist so we already know what life looks like. So it really boils down to artist ability. -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
Not sharing useful resources and techniques is a zero-sum game. Even if you stand to gain something by not sharing, the net effect on the industry is zero because you're depriving everyone else of the benefits and the ability to improve further. A much better strategy is to share everything cool you come across so you can… -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is that if you want to understand something deeply, you should try to teach it to someone else. Put the idea together, break it down concisely into it's core points, and communicate it to someone else - It'll illuminate very quickly where your weakness in understanding something is,…
