Sure, it happens. We have a 3 month training system, to get new hires up to speed. It's not a common thing in game dev, but we need it for our purposes. We "graduate" about 95% at the end. Anyhow, yes some people just don't cut it. And you try to find this out as far in advance as you can. But nothing is final. Why do you…
As many others, i find the intuitive workflow of zbrush very appealing. But as many others, who are used to standard 3d packages, i am a little confused by some nuts and bolts in zbrush. Please share your wisdom! -How do i select and edit an object that has been deselected? -Is it possible to select a part of the mesh, and…
Environment work is more typically done with proprietary systems and tools for a given game. For example, Unreal's use of terrain, structures and static meshes is probably very different from the BF2 engine's use of similar tech. Lighting systems can get very complex. It's hard to just create an environment for a game…
If you’ve shipped enough work, you’ve seen this moment: You approve a render. Someone changes one small thing. The final output doesn’t match what you signed off on. No one did anything “wrong.” But now you’re explaining differences to a client. That’s the problem we wanted to solve. The Real Issue Isn’t Quality — It’s…
Thanks for the feedback, however in this instance, I think I will push on with this as it is, and go back to Frank Tzeng's tutorial on my next realism attempt and really try to nail whatever I make with the medium forms. I do see what you mean though, and I agree. I actually started this model just under a year ago and I…
Sometimes when I'm using the art tablet, I put my left ancle on my right knee building sort of a table with my leg. Never gotten into the whole thigh on thigh action, it always felt wrong. I worked with a guy that would do the thigh/thigh leg cross thing and bounce the upper foot. He wasn't a skinny guy by any means and…
Since the workshop was flooded with korean culture related items why not explore some other cultures? Personally I didn't like that amount of asian stuff in there eventough some were really well made but considering the diversity in cultures out there I might say why not? This could work multiple ways: either go for any…
on the subject of releasing DLC in a delyed fashion just to "improve you image" to a bunch of un-educated internet babies....thats a really dumb business decision. There is a always going to be a hungry group of fans who finish the main game in 24 hours and want more. Also, why would a company not ride the wave of current…
I don't understand why some artists who worked on the game are getting jittery on the feedback or dissing of customers. Maybe instead of blowing steam in this direction, blow off some steam at your own tech team in studios that worked on the game with you, or the head honchos if they pushed out the product too early? If…
For anyone who is having trouble uninstalling Autodesk Genuine Service, I found a Reddit post pretty helpful in removing it. How do I remove Autodesk Genuine Service (WIN10)? : Autodesk (reddit.com) What was Autodesk thinking, or were they thinking to begin with? Blocking the user from uninstalling this crap on their own…
