Hi everyone, first time posting here. I was suggested to post here for a project that I just finished. After my last project, I was wondering what I could do. One of my previous teacher suggested that I could revamp a level from a game that hasn't been made in a long time and I chose Banjo-Kazooie. I gathered informations…
I don't understand why some artists who worked on the game are getting jittery on the feedback or dissing of customers. Maybe instead of blowing steam in this direction, blow off some steam at your own tech team in studios that worked on the game with you, or the head honchos if they pushed out the product too early? If…
Thanks everyone!!! Trying to make sure I answered everyone's questions reading back through: @ - Everyone - Thanks so much for the kind words and support. I really appreciate all the polycount love <3 @NoRank - no substance on this one. Handsculpts, quixel, and photoshop for both individual assets and tiling textures.…
Ah yes, the Jorg of Ancrath approach. This is why I really like sandbox or ImSim type games (Deus Ex, Dishonored, to a much lesser extent STALKER/Arma) that give you freedom to figure out solutions to problems, rather than having one fixed way to progress.

Update: Attempted to see if it autoloaded. Checked the Maya plugins manager. My plugins manager would not open. I isolated the problem to the prefs/windowPrefs.mel file and replaced it with a default one. After looking at the file in notepad, it SHOULDN'T harm any of my custom tools or settings... right? At any rate, I…

Del Walker (Sr Character Artist at Rocksteady). http://drawingyourdreams.com - When I first saw Del's work, it was "rough". Pretty much the textbook definition of amateur artist. Thing was.. he worked hard. Every month he…
that's cool... i'm not really looking for examples of tiling textures... but more a list of textures to make for people. i've already made *(for example)* Corrugated Metal Particle Board Wood Planks... as part of my project to provide resources to env artists/level builders/designers my deal is that I miss the way shit…
ahhh, game dev schools/programs... The problem here is that they've "let you off the leash"... did they bother to teach you proper design process before releasing the hounds? the real question is... what type of design are you really wanting to do? If it's character design, you have a long way to go. That being said, Super…
PLAY WITH DEVELOPERS - JANUARY 2011 Yesterday we came back with the much-missed ‘Play With Devs’ game matches between us, Spiral Game Studios, and you - the fans and gamers of the world. We played quite a few rounds of our early modding endeavor, the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta (www.orion-project.net). We had a great…
