Thanks a lot for the words of motivation! My goal for this year will be to create a steady stream of income with the skills I have and further expand my skillset in general. Only time will tell where I'll land then. As I've said, I don't solely focus on getting a career in the games industry, I love 3D art in general and…
But they have removed all verification and put together the laziest possible solution, next to doing nothing. They are a movie theater employee that got tired of taking tickets, opened the door and threw the tickets on the sidewalk and then walked away. However I wouldn't be surprised if their apathy is caused by the…
Great article. The last part about the streaming bug had me worrying for a second that the game might need a day1 patch to fix it for older ps3s. glad to know it got sorted though before disc production got under way. It's also interesting to hear about the underwater parts for Uncharted1, sense God of War had something…
With regards to your concept (and the context that @Habboi said that this area is in) I'd suggest using a particle-based waterfall, much like one of the pre-created assets in UDK. The waterfall in the Foliage demo is a static mesh and more suited to a constant stream flowing down or off a surface. In your scene, I'd…
Chris Holden made a pretty cool vidya recently: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1erX_ICi89A&list=UUyD0h3pqwxXRf7TSlvW2LPQ&index=8&feature=plpp_video"]Hand Painted Realist Stone Tile Tutor - YouTube[/ame] I'm going to do a hand painted stream pretty soon as well, it's going to focus 3D Coat & Photoshop - I'll post an…
lol yeah its a crazy statement, besides theres endless streams of software out there, its good to find ones you like and even niche software, I like lazy nezumi and Knald and manga studio for example, no doubt there are inefficient workflows but I don't think you could just pump out a DDO texture for every type of game and…
Hey thanks :) It's funny because that's probably my least favourite :P This is why I love other people's feedback, everyone always sees my stuff different to how I do. Did a livestream tonight (http://www.twitch.tv/mistermojo28 if anyone's interested, I usually post when I'm streaming on my…
Well Hawk, that's a neat little setting! It seems more streamlined for real-time rather than portfolio work though. The quality streams out pretty close to the camera. Is there a way of extending the distance of the high quality shadows? They look great up close, but holy moly they look worse than standard shadows from…
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback @HappyConscript , will definitely look into this! The addition of the flowers with contrasting colors could really help this scene much, so you are absolutely right there, I'll see what I can do. As well as adjust the shape of the pond and maybe adjust the scene accordingly. Maybe…
Depending on how broken it is this method won't work, but when I need some light repairing on a weird MP4 I run it through FFMpeg with copy streams -- it doesn't re-encode the video so it finishes in a second, it just copies the audio and video data and fixes the headers and metadata I think. The command line is this:…
