Re: LF Adults to help me frame what's going on in my career at the moment
summary: stay on target....stay on target.... longer version/random points: You seem to have a good grasp of what your situation is. You seem to have a good idea of how to proceed. Your difficulties are fairly normal for someone in your situation. Based on this, I think you shouldn't be changing course much (not that you… -
Re: Bicycle Suggestions
So necro bumpish. Things came up. I have time now, I even have a down payment for them to start the manufacturing of the bike. I am also working with a local bike shop to get it up and running after Bombus gets done with the frame. Frame design attached. He uses American chromoly steel. Its based around a hardtail MTB… -
Re: Joao Sapiro thread of ramblings
To preface this “article” : Everything stated here is totally anecdotal, as in, based on my own experience and what I observe\talk\learn through other professionals. It DOES NOT necessarily represent my current employer views nor i speak on their behalf, this is opinionated and seen through the glasses of my own individual… -
Re: Dungeon Door WIP
Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! I still haven't had a chance to make the spec map. I spent this morning trying to redo the normal map to optimize the mesh and fighting with the AO map. The horizontal beam on the door has some AO that was rendered in max, the rest of the AO was made from the normal map. Ignore the… -
Re: Ehren's little dump
Thanks man. It simply amounts to years and years of hard work... I'm pretty stoked on these two Frazetta sculpts I've been commissioned with. A client of mine (ARH studios) bought the licenses to reproduce some of his paintings as statues. I was totally blown away when he entrusted these two to me. The Barbarian and the… -
Re: Africa and South America are ignored...

This wasn't the case ten years ago. One of the things I love most about working on gamedevmap is seeing trends like this emerge on a… -
Re: Sketchbook: Skiwan

It's been a while since the last update, but I'm about to embark on a challenge of producing.... 30 VEHICLE DESIGNS IN 30 DAYS. In-fact I am already on day 3 :x Some designs I will spend hours on (like the first one… -
Re: Topology problem, maybe baking problem?? In need of help!
Simply put, tangents and binormals are the tangent space calculations, a gizmo (or swizzle) of three vectors per each vertex that encodes and decodes (at baking time and rendering time) the normal map gradients taking into account the vertex shading, vertex normals, and UV coordinates. Each program calculates this… -
Re: The best laptop for 3d work
Well after checking out the specs on the Alienware Area-51m 7700 I'm hooked! I would love to get one so I started checking out ebay, but Im so damn skeptic of spending that kind of money on ebay, let alone those guys who wanna take the transaction outside of ebay. Some got prices so low its got to be a scam. Like $900 for… -
Re: The Rambling of Another Lost Soul
Unfortunately I know a lot of people in this position. The market is extremely competitive right now and given the number of people that are currently unemployed it seems like if there are positions available they are more likely to go with someone that has a connection at the studio already. As for graduating students I…
