Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Well, you know, the worst thing that can happen is you fail. And then what? You work some job you might not love and keep on with 3d as a hobby. Is that so awful? Maybe you get to where you can churn out pretty good models at a reasonable pace -- they aren't pushing the limits of the medium but they are decent enough to be… -
Re: Lack of motivation
a. Take care of your body (eat proper food and exercise). b. take short breaks every hour or 2 while working (You tend to comeback with fresh eyes). c. get a social life, people need human contact. d. get a 2nd hobby (for me personally i found music to be just that, if i feel burn out from 3d, i work on my guitar or bass… -
Re: Game Dev Schools - What would you change?
I think the Concept art Atelier does a good job in gearing up students towards a career in concept...art, funny enough. I've had a moan about my previous stint in education and someone may have said then that there are already focused areas for people to go and learn from. I've not really looked much into what is offered… -
Re: Points For Toothbrushing: The Gaming Speech Everyone Is Talking About
This is a logically broken conclusion. They are making us do something by abusing a natural, separately occurring part of our psychology? You want to look good in front of your peers.

Re: H&K G3A3 Rifle
Sorry, just saw your response now, looks like you have made the right adjustments :) Much better! I think the main pistol grip could use some love now. Yours looks a little blobby compared to the reference, as well as the nub near the top right of the grip, is a little off. IRL, the grip nub that you see is a resting spot… -
Re: Attitudes about games
most art forms were treated the same way in their infancy as games are now. Jazz, rock and roll, 3D art (thank you pixar for helping to change people's opinions on that one), comedy, painting styles... I think it's just a matter of time until the art of gaming has been refined to the point that it breaks out of it's… -
Re: Why Make Games?
Interesting thread. For me I always enjoyed games, started with an SNES and then 64, but never really thought much about it. The first game I was really into though was Starcraft, after that Diablo II introduced me to RPG's, and I built from there. First time I realized I wanted to make games was when I got Dungeon Siege.… -
Re: Color and Specular Maps
So one last followup here. Is there a way to tell in photoshop what my specular is going to look like on my model? I know we're talking about using linear dodge and thats PS equiv to additive layering and such, but how do I use that knowledge to pick the right colours for my map. I've seen speculars look like what I would… -
