Hi, We do not have many dynamic lights in our scenes and as far as i know most racing games tend towards forward+ renderers because of this and the complex car surface materials. In contrast we use a deferred render approach. This is mainly because of the awesome feature of deferred decals which we use in our nature levels…
If you listen to a lot of the Still Untitled project you get a good sense of where Adam Savage is coming from. I mean the guy worked for ILM in the days prior to the big CGI things they did with Episode I and later. Of course his opinion is gonna be that practical is better than CG. That being said I think he does a good…
Hmmm hmm... so many awesome movies listed! Let's see what comes to mind. Ok, by category, so I might actaully remember...

I'll leave…
I have been wondering to myself of recent about the double standards when it comes to ethics or standards concerning the two main mediums of animation- hand drawn (2d) and 3d animation.

I think this is an area that is overlooked in cg animation. Everything seems to be all about simulation as this approach will enable…
Hello everyone, This seems like such a great challenge, so I decided to give it a try. As soon as I read the description my mind raced to the Disney Beast. Am personally not that big of a fan of the whole Stockholm-syndrome-I'll-lock-you-in-my-castle-until-you-learn-to-love-me plot, but hey - the Beast's design and…
I do care about historical accuracy especially in terms of visual and thematic representation and i don't consider myself sexist, but i am sure some feminist somewhere would disagree. I was against females in this game, because i foresaw this exact dilemma. Can i be against females in an specific game in an specific…
Andrew does show on Artstation two diffent workflows. One are the background obejcts or orbject without subD. The others are mostly quads cause of the displacement they use on those SubD meshes. There is still so much confusion about ngons and "bad" geo. Ngons and tris arnt bad. But you need to know where you should work…
When it comes to any university course you should understand that everything is self-taught. I went to Abertay, and I know of people who have studied in pretty much every games course across the UK so I have a good idea of what the general opinion is of them. Now, the best thing about Abertay isn't the course itself, it's…
