Re: A Critique of 343i's approach to Halo's Art Direction
Skipped through (will watch properly later) but I agree that Halo in general went downhill after 3. Visually they got messier and less iconic on non-forerunner side, and on the forerunner side it became uninspired. design wise they became muddier and it lost the humour that actually made halo special for me -- it wasnt… -
Re: Who Shall Win the Superbowl?
New England is going to win it. The Steelers are the better overall team, but Ben Roethlisberger has been struggling at times during the second half of the season and appears to have hit that "rookie wall" coaches talk about. He'll wind up costing them big time against the Patriots who are winnners and won't miss two easy… -
Re: What is (or was) your biggest problem or obstacle in becoming CG artist?
Information, equipment backlash, and securing the position Back when I was in school information wasn't as abundant as it is today and asking folks about was neigh impossible. There were many faux sites offering information that wasn't valid or was outright harmful to one's progress. Due to that I was always on the lookout… -
Re: Steam Workshop now supports paid mod creations
Why are people saying Beth games aren't broken out of the box without unofficial patches? Blue Palace had bugs as far as a couple of months ago that constantly crashed mods which stored items in it, fixed by the community, and Papyrus still spits out errors about Blue Palace due it script calling your character even if you… -
Re: Is metahuman creator changing the industry?
Not really. I think it might lessen how much a studio outsources background characters. But those are usually made pretty low budget anyway. Main characters will always be created unique for games. Sure, photogrammetry and scanning are a bit part of that but that is already the case. Metahuman gives you another option to… -
Re: peble's concepts thread
really neat idea with the bugna! I'm wondering if those elements would do better "suggesting" bug rather than look exactly like bugs. as in, the last horn you did (nice design and idea btw) should still have some of pugna's style of horn (similar to a goat) in surface but have SOME bug elements. Think of it more like his… -
Re: Scifi City
Do you want to get together and create a shadowrun type of game in 3rd person view and have great controls like the ones in mass effect? Let me know, email me at baileywdavid@hotmail.com I have always wanted to do a game where theres no NPC. For example in shadowrun you can could be the MR Johnson and just go around giving… -
Re: Texture res vs polycount... ?
This should probably be moved to Tech Talk. Generally it depends on how close you can get to the model and some other factors. For example, a prop you can walk right up to might be 1024, but one on the ceiling of a tall room might be 512. Screen-time is important too. A hero character or first person weapon might get a… -
Re: E3 2016
Days Gone doesn't look fun to play from the trailer so far. Being alone and shooting all those zombies from some third person perspective with just a gun while also manipulating some doors with nothing much else to see implies one of those chore games. also feels outdated already somehow given the zombie survival theme… -
Re: next-next gen is terrifying?
Most people get it wrong though when they talk about good and bad AI, the bucket on head is a side-effect of much better AI, where crimes committed are the ones the npc will actually see, and in this case a bucket will actually block his eyesight and preventing him from seeing it. Proper scripted behavior could've…
