Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
Ok is this the right thread to ask why everyone wants to live in Japan but at the same time usually dont know anything about it? If not then just ignore this post. Im just wondering because it happens that I see people who love japan and anime and games culture and they really want to go there and when you ask why they… -
Re: Warhammer Online release on Sept 18
I think it's probably GOA's fault, as predicted. They claimed they could handle the load. "People" said they could never handle it. As we can see today, "people" were right. So it's as usual with these things. People complain on the forums, needing to vent off their frustrations. Dicks who already have access to the US… -
Re: Flat screen monitor recommendations?
one issue with widescreen lcds is that, since they are lcd's they have a native resolution, and since they are widescreen that is usually a non-standard resolution. I've got a dell 2001fp (1600x1200, standard aspect ratio) which is about $500 these days and the color and response time are great. The widescreens that are… -
Re: strange wacom issue

You could organize somewhere else (not on the portfolio) all your stuff in a catalog but more for yourself or close friends to show progression and specifics (like a blog, thats also usually rather personal and not interesting to… -
Re: Survey for Artist Salaries
well there comes another thing into play, in my career outsourcing for many german studios i met many many really great and talented artists, but they barely ever want to move around. At least not in germany, to huge studios abroad usually. The lack of cool productions is one of the motors of the brain drain, good people… -
Re: Backgrounds and skyboxes in Bad Company 2
Yeah I assumed it was most definitely 3d geo, given the lighting, but it reads so well being that far away from the camera. Usually from draw distance you cant get that nice of a shadow on the mountains with the same sunlight lighting the foreground elements. Usually I'll get silhouetted objects or the fog flattens the… -
Re: A question to other professional artists
I usually get people who think it sounds cool but when asked to elaborate, my explanations lead to a lot of blank stares. I usually just point people to my website so they understand better but a lot of folks don't get even the difference between 2d and 3d games. But really, that's how most skilled professionals are,… -
Re: How to reproduce the fine details of the environnement
Usually this type of stuff is set dressing added on top of more clean and generic tiling textures. Decals or mesh decals, scattered rubble, vertex painting, etc.
