Re: blizzard f2p trading card game
Game designer, you are clearly not ;) (I don't mean that maliciously, by the way). The value of MTG cards is not in their mana cost, it is in their rarity. That's where the money is. Powerful cards may or may not have high mana cost, but those with particularly potent effects tend to be the rarest cards, and as such they… -
Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
I go to work, put in my eight hours, and go home. That's how I balance things. As much as I'm passionate about art, what I do is a job and I'll be damned if that job is going to keep me from having personal time, time with my girlfriend, and time to just simply do things that aren't work. So far I've managed to avoid… -
Re: Budget Workstation
Sure, a 730 might be better than what you have now, but that doesn't mean it makes economic sense to buy one. Think of it this way, you spend 60 on a 730 today and then you spend another 100 on a 750 a bit later, now you've spent 160 which would get you very good mid range card instead. I understand having a low budget,… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2017 (48)
hey guys. i'm joining in on the hard surface environment! Umbrafoxus nice job! love the light fixture, and the scaling looks spot on. Klawd looking good. the door mechanism does look tricky. I haven't gotten there yet, but my first thoughts are to move the door hinge and have it pivot when the piston pulls back. here's my… -
Re: Your opinion on workstation vs gaming graphics cards.
Quadro/firegl cards are typically much slower at the same price point as consumer GPUs. To get a Quadro in the performance range of a GTX 980 you have to spend $5-6K, which is simply insane. A Quadro (K2200) at the same price point as a GTX 980 is roughly 3 times slower. For game dev work, there is essentially no reason to… -

Re: Need For Speed - The Run
GT5 has no particles in splitscreen. (and therefore no ss rain or snow races) It's a fickle thing. You're using more cameras, but still rendering the same amount of pixels. You can ease off the anti-aliasing just a bit because both will be smaller, but you're still rendering a bunch of things twice. motion blur can go,… -
Re: The Art of Rage
Yeah but im hoping you were aware of the large amount of bugs problems and glitches that followed. i still cant get a refund even to this day, personally i love what the modelers made and i wont blame them its the shitty code/scripters. the graphics bugged to hell even when i found out how to run it faster 25fps.The whole… -
Re: Nuclear bomb timelapse.
Yeah, that number looks about right. Russia and the US were doing bomb tests frequently. Some just above the atmosphere (I think there were only 7 of those), they stopped above ground and started underground and undersea tests. There's shaft, tunnel, air-drop, rocket, tower and another I can't remember... undersea and… -
Re: Student Game Environment Project
UPDATE! (Sorry for the delay) It's been a while since I've updated, been working a lot on my thesis game 404Sight. Here are some updates on the enviro project! Finished the model, here is a lovely AO shot. I then dropped the geometry into Unreal, set the camera focal length to 60 (same as Destiny), and then set up a quick…
