Re: Max Payne 3
I really enjoyed Max Payne 1 and 2 back in the day, but I really can't understand the praise that this game is garnering. The narrative elements of the previous games were very strong, but Max Payne 3 is really disappointing for me. I'm noticing a very big Michael Mann influence on the this game, and it's desperate to be… -
Re: Star Citizen...The Gladiator...ART DUMP
Hey guys, thanks for your comments! In regards to the technical questions, like Zezeri said, the ship uses a master material, with a bunch sub-materials. These are generally broken down into categories like 'metal', 'painted metal', 'chair upholstery' etc etc. Each shader has it's own texture inputs and can make use of a… -
Re: Whats your program workflow for game character modeling?
Warcraft sounds a lot like classical handpainted lowpolies. But League of Legends goes a similar route and they use sculpts for their textures. Which is a really valid approach. Especially these days when classical texturepainters are rare and people who can sculpt are around every corner. Anyways okay pros and cons. 1.… -
Re: Creating a top down RPG, critiques welcome.
Thanks again all honestly, I really appreciate the feedback, sometimes as artists we can't see the forest through the trees. @RustySpannerz indeed man, I am working on boxing out the rest of the area, big white boxes screams at my face to be replaced with art lol. Also gives me a sense of space so that if "feels" good when… -

Re: Learning trim sheets. Some questions...
I think in the original context it probably works out pretty well. They'll have accounted for the largely fixed cost of shading everything like they had to and due to all the sharing will be saving a shit load of texture memory across the project - as well as making large scale fixes/updates pretty straightforward.. My… -
Re: Discussing issues at work, grounds for firing?
Companies try to stifle wage talk because it increases their power. This isn't abstract socialist rambling; it translates directly to people's comfort with asking to be compensated fairly. The less information people have, the less likely they are to mutually benefit from the work agreement. Preventing employees from… -
Re: Thoughts on working in Shanghai?
I've been living in China for 1 1/2 years - currently in SH - and it's been great! Apart from widening your horizon, getting lots of new insights and inspiration, it's a pretty good city to live in. It's the most western city in China and coming from the US you will see many many familiar brands and stores (pappa johns,… -
Re: Skin Shader - Realtime Translucency
Ok, update! here's two new pics showing off the new attenuation bloom ramping, and the first specular component being re-implemented. The specular needs a secondary fresnal modifier to give it that glancing sheen that skin has, but after that's done it's pretty much ready to release The attenuation blooming and specular in… -
Re: The future of storytelling in video games.
Wow, there's alot more posts here, than I thought there would be. Everyone is bringing up some good points. Talon is saying exactly what I'm thinking. Linear stories to me, feel like interactive movies, where you play through the action parts. There's nothing wrong with that, and alot of my favourite games do this. What…
