Re: Old French City Street [UE4]
Awesome work! I'm not sure what's causing it but for some reason it feels like the scale is just slightly off, like the whole scene is at a tad shrunken scale. I don't really get that feeling until the very last image. I'm going to assume it might be the rather large width of the sidewalk textures in comparison to things… -
Re: Using video games to teach...
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
I used some DGBL back in grade school. In grade 4 or 5 the class had occasional (either once a week or once a month, IIRC) access to the computer lab and we played math and reading games to practice what we learned in regular class. Those games were essentially quizzes with game-styled performance feedback, like moving a… -
Tablet PC: Versa LitePad review
Ok, I bit the bullet and bought a tablet pc. I have a 6x8 intuos 2 platinum at home, with dual sgi 1600sw lcd monitors, and a 9x12 intuos 2 at work with plain jane 21" crt. I prefer my tablet pc over both setups. I got the NEC Versa Litepad. It is 2.2 lbs, and .6" thick. Thats roughly the size of a 70 page spiral bound… -
Re: Help me become a better Artist.
Practice practice practice. Books and tutorials are helpful but only get you so far, and has been debated here and elsewhere that they hinder you more than help you. I am currently a student learning game art and I constantly feel like I need to improve and come to these forums when I can to get input. I find that the more… -
Re: Help me create a better picture (concept art)
Hey man, always good to see someone interested in concept art in this forum. I'm always a bit harsh on critiques but I hope you take it as a checklist on how to approach the next pieces instead of as a character attack. John Sweeny's tutorials right? Not saying its a bad thing but this is one of the biggest catch alls to… -
Re: [UDK] Living Quarters
This is looking cool, Josh! My biggest concern is saturation. Like value, saturation can pull the eye. This focal saturation should pull the eye to the bed and be strongest there. In your current iteration, the hallway competes a bit with the bed, and some of you other emissives/colors meet similar levels. Let's talk… -
Re: Quake4 first impressions
Bought Q4 today, installed it without a hitch, played through the first couple of levels - very enjoyable! For a start it's not as dark as Doom3, which I appreciate... although this does diminish any "scary" factor Doom3 might have had for the most part, I find it much easier to play, and not get lost in corridors that… -
Re: Getting into the Game Industry (Inspiration of a different kind)
The early years: My little brother and I have been drawing all our lives. Our favorite pastime was to lay a sheet of newsprint on the floor and fill it edge to edge with a Where's Waldo-esque scene of monsters and explosions. Things really changed for me when my parents got me The Minds Eye on VHS in the early 90's, I… -
Re: Starting to learn to draw, i feel lost from start, how to start.
Yeah, I think I know where you're coming from... A formal environment as opposed to self paced learning at home can also be a bit confronting for a novice therefor in my opinion alongside practical experience, it really depends upon the individual whether he/she is able too absorb instruction without the added 'pressure'… -
Physical Based Materials
Hi PolyCount, For my University dissertation I am looking at two options for my research subject. My current aim for when I leave is to be an environment/ asset artist so I'm going with a subject that I can benefit me in this area. 1. My first idea for research is looking into Physical Based Shaders and material as they…
