Video Game Artists Hygiene. Theory and practice.
Extremly laconic exposition of the following text, which I figured Might be usefull to have in one place: If you're interested in more details, I suggest you just take it from the top. And ready yourself to spend sometime reading. top Hey. I felt like doing this paper, because. Because becoming a video game artist isn’t… -
Re: So the average salary for a job in canada's game industry is $77,300 a year.
I just went and actualy read the article and it makes total sense to me. They say that yes, a large majority of the studios in canada are indie devs, but almost all of them have less that 25 employees. By contrast 83% of the work force in the industry works for huge aaa companies. So ofcourse the salary average is going to… -
Re: Perfect Resize - Increasing the resolution of images for print - thoughts?
this is wrong - DPI doesn't work like this. And a colour image is just four black and white images. The DPI you send to the printer is not the DPI the printer prints at. Most printers will use a line screen to convert your pixels into a number of separations (eg channels). The line screens are essentially black and white… -
Re: It is good to have Mac for 3D
I think the op is talking about OS X though when he compares a "mac" with windows. I would recommend Windows though. There's just more software available - especially many of those small but cool plugins and workflow tools are missing on OS X. Plus almost everyone else in the industry uses Windows and they're usually… -
Re: [Question] List of Cameras for Photo-sourcing Textures
Now, actual images to explain what I'm talking about. These were shot with a 42.5mm lens, (85mm equiv) so you should need about 1/90th to get a sharp shot with the typical 1/FL rule. For argument sake, we'll start with this 1/200th number that was mentioned above. As you can plainly see, not only can we go below 1/200th… -
Re: [Portfolio] Bradley Wascher, Environment Artist
I really like the layout and the art is great, nice job! Crit: Based on the art and objects I would give them all an A, the placement needs some work and I would give it a D. Some of the logic in Rigged to Blow is a little wonky. The shells are kind of sloppily placed. Some look like they are defying gravity (closest to… -
Re: Rigging Questions - Maya
If it helps to think of it as a classic marionette. The control rig is the wooden +, in it's own scene. The mesh/rig are the puppet, in their own scene. The strings are the constraints between them. First thing I do is create just a skeleton and bind the mesh to it. Save that as a "skin" file and reference it into a new… -
Re: Texture Designer - new image processing tool - released now
Sage: * Yes, that assumption is wrong. My bad, I should've written somewhere in the app that they're vectorized operations. Photoshop blend modes can be found in the "Blend" node. Add/Subtract/etc. are made for working with numbers. * That's why I have sliders there - you click on them, you change the number by dragging,… -

Re: New Painting Tool. Colour Constructor!
Nice! Seems you already had a good shot at it, if you could post up an image of the masks i could help debug. The names of the masks are all kinda silly, but it's just because of the method i use to search the file names, I'll probably make a more sensible alternative file naming convention next update, and probably remove…
