Roy's Garage Fallout 3 style Goals: My goal for this project is to emulate the Fallout 3 art style and to make a portfolio piece that shows that I am adaptable to different styles. My target audience for this piece would be Obsidian Entertainment who is currently making Fallout 3 New Vegas. I want to have a small but…
Shae Tanasychuk thread about game art cliches gave me an idea. Its quite hard for me, being immersed in a very popularity-driven society, to come up with actual original or even seldom used ideas. What original or semi original game setting/world setting/game mechanic etc ideas have you guys come up with or even just heard…
Finalhart - Thanks for the feedback! I'm actually a full time artist working in the industry so I'm not looking to switch gigs and become a programmer... this is more just a fun way to start building a new skillset in my free time. Currently C# and Unity offer a really smooth entry into the awesome world that is…
Iraq was the third most powerful military presence in the middle east, now dissolved. If America up-and-shipped out of the middle east now as per Osmama's commands there would be a huge power vacuum. This would only change the participants of bloodshed. There is no peace for the middle east in sight. The problems are…
The thing with spec power is that it just controls the falloff of the highlight, basically how dull or focused it is. So if you make it a broader (duller) highlight, that can have the effect of seeming "shinier" at first because more specular light is visible across the surface. If you are seeing how something looks with a…
eeeyeah I understand; Blizzard is still working on this "banning those who sell power leveling and buy gold with real money" case. That relates to your statement which I too agree (But then I dont like that someone else who have it maybe did not do the work to get the ingame money and just got it with real money.) The only…
Kit lenses are almost always inferior. Most important is lens MTF, it is best at apertures around f/8 [lower for wide angle lenses and higher for tele].
Do you think Naval Battles in the Colosseum of Ancient Roman is a very over looked spectacle that could
make for a great game and film setting? The Naumachia was an elaborate form of public spectacle in ancient Rome,
involving the staging of naval battles. Naumachiae were grand spectacles staged for entertainment purposes,…
To MoP: Impressive artwork, MoP! I love your screenshots! I think your spec/glow highlight looks different because I use a default specular power exponent of 32 and 3dsmax 16. You can control it using a specular power map in the 3D viewer ( white pure = 255 exponent = supershiny; black=0 exponent=no shiny ). Notice there…
I just bought a geforce 8800GTS and the requirements say that it needs a 400 watt power supply with a minimum of 26 amps on the +12 volt rail. Now, since they dont really even make PSU's (as far as I know) that have a single 12V plug with 26 amps, I assume they mean the amount of amps across all of the 12V plugs. I have…
