Re: how do you grade game art?
Dolemite; Art in general is tough to judge so you can not decide if your piece is done for the game or still needs somework. A good artist decides when his/her piece is done. It is based on your own observation as an artist, you decide if your art is good to pass on or not. If you are working on an art assigned to you, you… -
Re: Put your money where your mouth is
Poop, nice read. And I do agree on most of it. I actually had "2" jobs for a while. 1 day time 3D job I wasn't pleased with because it wasn't games. And evenings I would be in my "2nd" job on making game models and art. It was a lot of work, but the desire to get out of the situation I was in drove me. I got my games job,… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Yep, it has its limits. It won't fix everything, but it can help in some cases. Yep, pretty specific to max and only if you enable Projection mapping. It's one thing max got right, but then immediately faceplants when rendering AO, calculating edge padding and getting the normal map background color correct, heh. Oh max...… -

Re: Have you had an eccentric client before?
That's irrelevant. Other potential employers lurk and post here (it's how I got my job). This is a huge turn off for people and could turn away more work or get you a bad reputation as someone who disrespects his clients. There is a very important code of trust you should uphold with your clients. Doesn't matter if they… -
Re: Environment Artists Would You Be Interested in This
Hi, Export to mesh is definitely a feature I'm adding. I think I understand, you would use the entire terrain to create a single large rock? I'm not sure about the bottom of the rock I could add some feature to connect the bottom plane of the geometry. Would a mask that you could clamp to the terrain be enough so you could… -

Re: Game Dev Schools - What would you change?
Have professors that give a fck about the work the students produce! Have professors that want the students to pass the class and be competent. No more stupid projects like say draw an apple for three months as a project, hence why I say what I said in the beginning. Have a curriculum that actually prepares you to get a… -
Re: Simple, artist friendly version control?
You're right, I should add that we're developing it actively and currently use it at our studio for 2+ years now. While we were building it to improve our pipeline internally, we realized it's this is also problem a handful of other Artists and Studios had so we spun it off into an open source project of its own. The…
