Short answer: Yes, it will hurt you to stick with a nitch program and not learn any of the mainstream 3D apps. Long answer:I think the question is, why not learn them all and really expand your chances of finding a job? Beyond functionality you have to think about pipeline. - Is XYZ company going to toss your resume when…

BarMeyers82: Thanks dude! As for the stones, it was pretty strait forward. I sculpted a couple of different rocks and copied/rotated them around the canvas. I eyeballed the ones that were on the edges. I knew there would be a seam, but the healing brush is your best friend :) As for the mud, it was just a variation of a…
Agreed, this was really a side effect of many re-designs. I was originally working with a team to create a much larger game. It was a first person zero-g puzzle game (think doom3 meets dead space with elements of portal) before all of that was popular. unfortunately the art team lost interest one member at a time until I…
never underestimate the importance of a good contract. Always have a written contract with very specific terms. The Graphics Artist Guild (GAG) publish a book yearly that has a ton of good advice and sample contracts, though be wary they are a bit greedy (so don't go getting your hopes up when they suggest you be making…
OK, I'm going to assume the entire leading and trailing edges of the wing are control surfaces, as are the trailing edges of the tail and the canards. Aerodynamically, it seems like it's going to be too unstable - the centre of pressure looks like it's going to be way too far forward as soon as it's not going dead…
everyone is getting way off base here. this has nothing to do with porn. who decides if a game is art and therefore shouldn't be rated? do games like Lesiure Suit Larry and The Guy Game, which are all about T'n'A, have the same artistic merit as Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, which are games that tell stories/play out like…
Wow! Thankx for your speed light feedback Kain! Actually when i started this projet Blender community did not have a GLSL python script with outline. So i worked with the most common two texture script we have, and with very simple texture styles to achieve this "cartoon look": import GameLogic as g objlist =…
to clarify what i meant by a mask texture - routinely i'll use a texture as a mask, with each mask contained within a single texture in each channel - so a 24bit tga has 3 masks, one for each channel. Within your group, you can double click it and set its channel - so ill have 3 groups within a "Mask" group, each…
Interesting watch, thanks for posting :) I definitely think that properly portraying diversity in video games is something that should be improved the bigger and more mature the industry gets. But it's definitely something that won't come easy. Especially when publishers need to consider their audience and keeping their…
