Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
I fucking love this industry. Its the bees knees if bees had knees. They might have knees, idk enough about bees. Seriously though, couldn't think an industry I would want to work in more. Yeah crunch is bad, but honestly, if I have to put up with like a couple months of crunch every 2 or 3 years so that I get to be… -
Re: Recommended Comsumer Level Video Card For 3ds Max, Maya Etc.
2 million raw (obj file) or 2 mill collapsed mesh. i usually have all modifiers collapsed when i'm baking out maps etc in max. sometimes it's split across multiple objects tho. for instance i am working on a high poly tire currently. the tim and rubber sections are separate. both combined clock in at 2.5 million polys.… -
Re: How do you guys push yourself to practice art?
Browse Polycount and various artists' work, Exit Steam, get a cold redbull, turn on the fan and music, and away we go! Starting off with something small and fun like painting a tile-able texture usually helps get me into the working mood as well. @Chrisradsby - I hear you on tailoring a playlist for work mode. I still… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Nick Hofbauer
Reply by Zerogun · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Environment ArtSpent the week breaking down ideas. I'm aiming for a less fantasy-based design and more of a Victorian age/steam-punk design a la Dishonored and Thief. I have spent time trying to whittle down the ideas that will get the art across that will unify the idea. So currently my thought is a clock tower/watchtower for the tower… -
Re: Steampunk Chick
I agree that the lighting is a bit lacking. You need some ambient light in there. Also the lighting is pretty flat and there doesn't seem to be any natural lighting at all (in this case the moon!) There's barely any shadow showing up in the composite, making the character and motorcycle look sort of pasted in. Maybe having… -
Re: Game Jobs: How long to wait before looking again?
One other thing I feel I need to mention. If you're tired of doing grunt work and this is the reason for the change. Keep in mind that just about everyone has to do a good chunk of grunt work every day, its the nature of the beast we work for. The only way to really minimize it, is to move up. I expect that switching jobs… -
Re: Building a P4 machine
I've fallen behind, too but nothing a quick google and read couldn't solve. Downsizer: Of course, if you cannibalize the trivial parts (that REALLY don't need replacing) like drives and case you can get away with 600-700$ for a gaming rig. Testing Oblivion is a bit unfair, I don't think you can get a decent framerate in… -
Re: That other console that's not made by MS or Sony
See now i know that info is wrong.. Straight from the Nintendo site states: http://www.nintendo.com/techspecgcn Clock frequency : 485 MHz System Memory : 40MB (TOTAL) Main Memory : 24 MB A-Memory : 16MB (81MHz DRAM) Texture read bandwidth : 10.4GB/second (Peak) Main memory bandwidth : 2.6GB/second (Peak) So how did you… -
Re: King of Keyboards has a ship date and a price!
I don't particularly like the look of the way that keyboard is split down the middle. Personally I would have to relearn how to type to a certain degree because I don't touch type in the traditional method of having one hand covering each side of the keyboard. How does it work for you? On another note, I was thinking of… -
Re: Starcraft Gauss Rifle
Okay low poly done, mapped, normals baked. I looked at a few unreal 3 weapon models for an idea of what kind of polycount I should be shooting for. It looked like 5-12k tris depending on the weapon. I didn't worry about it too much and just beveled what I needed to for a decently smooth low-poly. There are a lot of 90…
