Re: Workslime
Definitely, I come across this every single day. I can code and script/automate my way through life, but most workflow things over here are engine fixes that I can not fix myself. And when I try to talk some sense into the coder/management here, there's always a huge explanation why I wouldn't want said feature and why… -
Re: Workslime
ambershee I would like to hold it more general. I don't talk about just artists and coders. I more think about that all people should always think about to improve workflows. A good documentation about assets costs time but helps designers, programmers, artists and management. That's good invested time. Or image you never… -
Re: Workslime
This is where I'm am at the moment. I started learning it during some down time between projects so that the next time there would be less manual repetitive drudge work. And soon after I started one of the animators in the studio ask me if I could make a simple maxscript to help him. The script itself is pretty simple, it… -
Re: Workslime
Different sides of the same coin I guess. My experience from a small company is that if you go directly to the coder he'll have more "important"(read fun) stuff todo and your lead/boss will probably say there is no budget for it. e.g. at my work we had this problem with mipmaps and filtering since we work with slightly… -

Re: Workslime
There were a number of cases back at Cryptic where someone would get tired of an issue and make a work-around for it, but not tell anyone else. I'd make a point of broadcasting these work-arounds and putting them up on the internal wiki when I could. Also, when a coder would say "but that'll take x time for a simple fix",… -

Yozora Intereting :) Never had that situation :) But it describes what i'm comlaining about: the attidue to improve has to come from everyone. -
Re: Workslime
@SimonT: for you, an argument: A game without artists will recieve no decent visuals, however a game without programmers will not be made at all ;) - You can't sell something with decent graphics that lacks any actual game, it's been demonstrated (laserdisc, anyone?). Anyway, it's not that I don't understand where you're…
