Re: QA as a stepping stone?
Moving from QA into an art position is like going from anywhere into an art position. Though not necessarily in this order, it mainly comes down to skill, connections and luck. Don't expect QA management to go out of their way to help your career as an artist. If people like you, they will help you when they can, but their… -
Re: Modeling Help Needed Please
For hardsurface polygonal subdiv,...well just about any genre and/or technique I can think of across the board, is that basic 3D modeling principles apply i.e. start low then iterate towards high poly Non Destructively. Think about nailing down good habits now, whether pro derived or advanced hobbyist believe me when I say… -
Re: Dark Souls 2
Thread bump reminded me! I actually played it on Gamex in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago. (2-3?) It felt alot slower and harder than both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. I played the Warrior and the one-handed thrust attack felt as if it took 1.5 times as long as in Dark Souls, maybe even more. A bit stressful playing a… -
Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
Basic summary: Textures that are authored in Photoshop or rendered out from a 3d package are generally in sRGB (gamma-space). All colour math inside shaders is done in linear-space. This means that any sRGB textures need to be converted to Linear before they can be used in the shader (the conversion is done IN the shader… -

Re: Education Question: Academics + Social Life
In before the don't go to school and learn on your own crowd. I went to SCAD. It was fine. Typical college experience, location etc. Savannah is a really nice town, lots of stuff to do and culture. I made lifelong friends there, some of whom live and work close to me here in LA and I'm thankful for their friendship and… -
Re: [WIP] Lavitz Character Workshop
Thanks a ton, I can't stress how much I appreciate such feedback. I love retoplogizing, but with personal projects I kind of brush over things like this. So thanks again for picking these out before I pushed forward. 1. I may keep this attached, I considered having it separated for animation purposes, but I felt overall it… -
Re: Sthlm Central Station WIP
For a first environment this is looking pretty great so far! However there are a few conflicting things. Now I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure trees grow towards sunlight, and require it to grow. having the tree grow from darkness (like in your first shot) is just unrealistic. One way to rectify this is maybe open up… -
Re: Bit of an odd thing to ask, I know...
in my opinion, the technical side of things doesn't take that long to learn. once you know the type of mesh density and texture sizes that are reasonable for a real-time game asset these days, and you wrap your head around what a spec map, gloss map, and normal map does, it's really just a matter of art. it's getting to… -
Re: Moving to Seattle, need advice or roommate
Check bus routes while looking for places to live, traffic here is really shitty most of the time. I live in seattle (capitol hill) and work in bellevue, own a car but communite via bus, and it takes so much stress out of my day (plus it's much cheaper). If you find the right place it's also much fast than driving since…
