@Joopson Likewise, likewise :D There's definitely some entertainment value in there thanks to some of the absurdities being thrown around - and not necessarily from the OP ... On character animations for gameplay sections : I do believe that animations can suffer from tech overload similarly to how current-gen face models…
As much as I agree that this isn't the most productive thread, I also think there is definitely something to be said about how the most recent realistic character/facial tech is seemingly messing things up in a weird, hard to describe way. Of course the average gamer and game journalist doesn't have the background to…
Concord is targeting DEI/Inclusion very explicitly in its marketing (characters are presented with rainbows, strong emphasis on pronouns and inclusion), and it was anticipated to become the next Star Wars universe under Sony. I'm not sure how these aspects (niche audience, Marvel Studios budget) are in alignment with each…
It is a bizarre fixation. Each time i see screenshots of the character and somebody is saying that they can't tell if she is man or woman, is saying she is androgenous or whatever, I have the impression they don't see women, like maybe ever? Except for internet porn, and a good chunk of that would have to be digital, not…
My addressing her character design was on topic, I was saying that in the grand scheme of things the game had other problems that are causing it to underperform. And to clarify, the joke part about Ben Affleck possibly being Kay's father is what is is, a joke. It might as well be Luke Skywalker who she does resemble. I…
I meant compared to the animated version which was iconic and resonated with a larger audience across the world. If you are comparing revenue, the animated version had a budget of $40 million with box office of $235 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would come to, 80 million budget and 503 million box office. Its way…
@Alemja - I think it really comes down to the project and pipeline. When dealing with 100's of characters it helps to have all the information we can input into the system, and certainly the approach is to get close to the visual target but with automation driving input, good to have those values especially for clothing…
Dragon Age is not set in medieval times. Medieval times are a time period specific to the real world. It's a typical pseudo-medieval fantasy, but that is not the same, and it's absurd to say that scars resembling a 21st century procedure are the breaking point when dragons and magic are apparently fine. It's just the sort…
i haven't played any ubisoft games in probably a decade, and never been a big star wars fan, but i saw some snippets of trailers around and have to admit the look of it made me feel some nostalgia. definitely nailed the vibe although the culture war trolls are generally losers i can sometimes at least understand where they…
