Re: Getting a Job outside Australia
Interesting. Egos are not really something I've ever run into in the local industry (bar one or two management types). More often they're rather more bitter and cynical like me and you. Its extraordinarily rare that the sorts of licensed titles that we used to do in Aus got the time or budget to be anything other than, if… -
Re: CS:GO Weapon Finish Contest
You have 46 items accepted in DotA2 and you're telling people not to worry about getting paid? How arrogant can you be? So how about people who have jobs in the game industry, how long can they expect to have to work for free before getting published? You know, the professional artists who Valve regularly advertises the… -
Re: Packing all textures into one map. Pros and cons?
Ah, the mip-mapping. Forgot about that. Axi5 said: No worries, I was a bit unclear as I found this difficult to wrap my head around, let alone explain :p I also managed to call it a non-tiling texture instead of a non-uniform one :# So to sum up (feel free to correct!) Cons: The shader will still use the same amount of… -
Re: New game idea
I'm going to ask the obvious question. Why is a racing game based on Big Wheels fun? You're making some huge assumptions that things that are fun in real life automatically translate to a fun game. You have to realize that the game has to be fun for reasons other than that it's based on Big Wheels. Games aren't fun because… -
Re: Are Developers shooting Themselves in the foot? (design wise)
Hmmm, you read a little too deep into the whole "bad segment", and for the most part im not trying to confine what makes a "game" to be the entire package... merely the makeup of it. (basically, i don't have to complete a game to understand what makes that game... that game, its not defined by a cutscene or story its… -

Re: Unreal 3 engine videos ( New content )
Got to see this at the show and it is indeed far more impressive than anything else I've seen. But. . . I did want to lend some weight to the point that the artwork behind the engine is quite a bit of what you're seeing. I went to a talk with an Art Lead and Modeler from Epic talking about how they make their assets and… -
Re: New portifolio site.
some images miss the black border on the left u should think of whatu want the viewer to see first when he/she comes on the site. u think the revolver is the best piece showing most of your skill? font choice isnt really the greatest. if u want comments on the layout. the box with the thumbs doesnt line up with the… -
Re: noob born babe
Zergxes, that's a good idea, I'll try playing around with the smoothing groups. For the armpit area I need a series of edges within a smoothing group to make a distinct line though... now that I think about it, it might be better to break apart the verticies along the line. I believe this would work independent of the… -
Re: episodic content blasted by epic
Ok, this does seem to be a bit of mediawhoring. Episodic content has only brouhgt a few games (as far as I know, only HL2 Ep1 and SiN). I can understand if someone doesn't hold much faith in the system, but he's awfully whiney and rant-y. And full of himself, Vig's sum-up was pretty good. That said, I'm not so sure if I do…
