Re: Hoverhog
@BarnabyJones: Thanks! Looking at the model now, I agree that the front fork looks kind of weak. The forks are meant for a wheel and I worked with it to accommodate the front thruster, but I think that it could look more secure. I'll work on that if/when I have time. As for the colour scheme, it is pretty uniform- black… -
Re: GOD DAMMIT
[ QUOTE ] dont want to start a big flame war but i think we both made some sweeping generalisations there.. [/ QUOTE ] It makes me chuckle when people bring up the word 'flamewar' before there is one. It's almost like they're looking for it. I don't think I made any generalizations that weren't based on experience and fact… -
Re: Push FX Textures for nicer VFXs
Layer up multiple effects and time them well to create one effect eg an explosion on dirty soil might have these effects 1. bright flash 2.soil debris explosion 3.flame blast 4. smoke after the blast . I use tga a lot which allows me to experiment with my alpha channel while keeping my diffuse the same, pay attention to… -
Re: Ten Years of Counting Polys
I can honestly say finding polycount was the catalyst for me gettng into game art. Anybody that ever asks me how to get in the industry or how I got in the industry, it's impossible to not bring up polycounnt.

Re: Here's another Blender short
Gotta give credit to Blender. I bought into the misconception that Blender was "inferior", and while that may have been true in the beginning, the gap between it and other 3D apps is diminishing. Like this short looks just as good (or perhaps better) than the Pixar stuff and ordinary people might not even tell the… -

Re: War Z (That's right, not Day Z)
Okay, so we already know that The War Z isn't a clone of DayZ. I never said it was going to be, I was saying that they know there's a market for something similar and they'd like to make a polished version. They realized that their game was already fairly similar to DayZ and made some changes because they knew what was… -
Re: What makes an Interesting Exploration game?
I like it when there's evidence of a a back story to whatever you find. It doesn't have to be explained directly, but it should allow just enough evidence for the player to piece it together. My favorite finding like this is in Skyrim, where I found a charred corpse, kneeling in the middle of nowhere. Turns out the corpse…
