Re: [Weekly Theme 2] Locomotion
I posted this morning about some locomotion animations from a game we are working on: Creativerse. We've been trying to give the Mobs in the game more emotional range and personality. One of the ways that we wanted to do that was through the way they move around the world. Here are some examples of the different types of… -
Re: LF Adults to help me frame what's going on in my career at the moment
I've been in a similar situation after uni. Keep working on your folio. If you need money, try to do something art related that grows at least a few skills you're using for building your folio. I did 3D stuff for video walls, some game freelancing, web-pages, etc. Be grateful to your parents! Their support is critical… -
Re: How To Get Faster... Faster?
learn when to stop. seriously :) The studios that care about time usually often go for "good enough". Most studios aren't Blizzard where it's done when it's done. Quality is like a bell curve - at some point the amount of invested time only yields small improvements. Learn when to stop. The exact time where to stop… -
Re: PC Community Feedback: Petrol/Blood (and contests in general)
How did you feel about the deadline? It is basically 3 Jobs. designing and modeling, posing texturing for a humanoid plus a hardsurface transport device. Add A programmer and we could make a indigame? Well without gamedesign, haha. I could not finish that in time jet. But Did a August PC-Character CHangle and started… -
Re: Out-sourcing and game art development. The Future?
I think we pay an okay salary for China. Seriously, I've seen worse work environments in the west. For my team I see that we get our work done and that everyone is out after their 8h work day if possible. I prefer sharp people who can think clearly over office zombies. We offer training for the staff (English and… -
Re: Art Insitutes sued for 11 billion in fraud!
You're right it is a bad standard to set, but sadly, it has already been set for several years. The only way to get your foot in the door is to learn they techniques and tools to build a good portfolio. Unless you pirate everything, software, equipment, and tutorial DVDs are expensive too (especially without education… -
Re: [Portfolio] Tricia Herbert, Environment Artist
I'm no expert so take my advice with a grain of salt. I've seen your work before and I feel the same way now; I think you should show more of your Environment Artist capabilities than you have now. Nothing really tells me (aside from the UDK level you contributed to) that you're an environment artist. I'd recommend coming… -
Re: Building an Environment Artist portfolio
yea I agree with these other duders, make small manageable scenes that are interesting and convey an overall sense of a complete environment. I hate seeing porftolios claiming to be an environment artist with like 3 props. props are a small slice of what an environment artist does, things like composition, the overall… -
Re: Epic's "Paragon"
FPS is FPS. You shoot people in first person. There is no pure FPS or unpure FPS. There are Arena FPS with little other focus than gunplay however. TF2 took a objective heavy approach after shooters such as Wolfenstein and having different classes to fill various roles. TF2 took a approach where classes are strongly… -
Re: "The Only Thing I Know..." Let's talk about being a gamer, life balance, and the biz.
I agree with much of what he said and it was really well presented, however I still find it hard to link all the fault with the 'games' themselves. The games are pretty inert objects, the 'addictive' qualities you might associate with gaming are present in many other forms, sex, car racing, hot air ballooning, it's not…
