This is the problem, you are probably stressed and desperate to become anything in order to escape military service, which I understand and Im sorry to hear that you are placed in such a tough situation. What you should do is pick something you are the most interested in and use the year you have to ace it. You have some…
DJ_Aaron: Thanks! [SF]Three9: I get what you are saying… I think I’m going to push the makeup contrast a little more based on your crit. I do feel that the skin to makeup transition is lost a little in the textures. I’ll probably keep the rest though as I’m afraid if I push the contrast too much he will begin to look like…
thanks @NikhilR @Fabi_G lots of good tips and things to consider. my hunch is that any outsource studio which would be professional enough to be worth dealing with probably is expensive enough that only makes sense at a AAA scale. e.g. a studio like rockstar probably has a team of people just to liaison between art team…
Kevin Johnstone: Thanks man really coming from you is awesome :) I have yet to play Bioshock. I think as a whole the Environment Art team in Crystal had wanderlust we really wanted people to enjoy going through and exploring places. I also feel that the not so polished feel of this game made it more of the individual…
Blais: I absolutely love that concept. I have a bunch of that guy's stuff saved somewhere -- his world building is awesome. In under-developed african nations that have been swept up into conflict with western weaponry, there tends to be a perverse, macabre contrast between the soldiers and their equipment. That concept…

Although, from what I've seen, the algorithms could be a little smarter (like only increase the triangle count so that the silouhette gets…
Nuclear weapons are a deterrent. If you are actually attacked and don't wipe out your attacker (no matter what the US does, China will completely obliterate them should it come to a nuclear launch, perhaps even send the whole world into a nuclear winter) people will assume you're never going to use those WMDs. Once nukes…
My friend and former co-worker Paul passed away last month. He was an amazing person, and contributed to the gaming industry in many ways. He worked on great franchises such as M.A.G., Socom, and World of Tanks. When hanging out with Paul; I was always greeted with a smile, and an infectiously positive attitude to get…
Hey fellow Polycounters! Thought I'd start a P&P before I get too far into my adventure. Currently working on a project with a couple of friends of mine, the idea is to sculpt up a few miniatures and ponder up some rulesets for our own tabletop wargame. I'm working with Maya and ZBrush then exporting into .STL, which will…
I am just a member of the lay public, a Star Citizen fanboy and supporter (as in donating money to fund development). I have absolutely no official affiliation with any game company. However I am looking to garner attention for a ship concept which I am lobbying hard for on the Star Citizen forums. I have good writing…
