Re: Is the way game artists texture bad?
I fully agree, I'm also not a fan of overblown high-budget experiences like recent COD games that offer little, to no depth (talking about the single player here, so don't hate on me yet :p ) and I've always been a huge fan of games that go right to the point. However, unlike Braid, Portal doesn't aspire to be something… -

The funny thing is, ancient roman and greek scultpure was… -

I think Blow tends toward categoricals, so he is suggesting something as universal when it might not be universal at all, yet that doesn't mean the problem isn't real and worth dealing with with. He's a really interesting and rigorous thinker; Ninjas and I have had more than a few conversations about his talks or posts. I… -
Re: Is the way game artists texture bad?
yeah, he certainly didn't explain what he meant by "bad" very well, but just that isolated statement is something i can completely get behind. from my studies, game artists in particular have some really bad tendencies when it comes to texturing, something i generally don't notice in film/archvis/other forms of CG artists.…
