Hmm its interesting that we are talking about tech for games, but does anyone care about new story and gameplay for games? Cause as a gamer I am tired of playing shooters that are based on some country fighting a war with another country lol. I mean cmmon, the more time passes on the more worse things get dosent matter if…
I think the question you should be asking is, "should I go to college?" Only if you are certain that you can meet the demand the courses ask of you and even more certain that you can pay the cost of the tuition without relying on getting hired in the industry, should you consider going to college. Basically, if you can't…
Hey there dude, it's not always about drawing 100 hands or heads to improve. 90% of the learning is all up here (pretend I'm pointing to my noggin), at least from my experiences. The work is proof of your learning, but the learning is all up top. And you can learn from anywhere, sometimes from the work itself, but also…
Depends on the game, if anything i'd say its just how a narrative is constructed, the first person perspective can make a game feel more personal as we see characters are talking to us, instead of at a model of someone that clearly isn't us. What is probably more important is how it can affect game play imo. If I had to…
This talk was awesome. I'm really glad to see people being honest about how cruddy some of the production workflows are. A lot of people or higher ups seem really content with the tools their team uses when most of it can be automated and avoid headaches. That is one of the reasons some games take SO long to develop. Fast…
If you're talking about games, then ultimately the model will need to be unwrapped, unless it's literally one color and you can just slap a shader on it. If you're talking abotu movies, then I'm afraid I can't help you much. I think it's pretty much the same idea of unwrapping, but here the UV maps don't need to be squared…
Here are a few resources I've used, there are tons more out there. It is a little bit overwhelming at first mostly because a lot of terminology has changed. PBR Encyclopedia A collection of a ton of information compiled by 3py0n (respect). Marmoset PBR Tutorials Perfect place to start, they're simple enough to understand…
Watch sports, interact with fantasy sports leagues in real time, talk to your buddies about sports while also playing and watching sports all at the same time. Thanks but I'm not that into sports. They were also very light on actual gameplay footage and hardware specs. I really don't have a clue what Quantum Alan Wake is…
I've begun to talk to some of my friends that are currently in the field about my reel (didn't get a chance to talk to them prior to) and they've told me several things, mostly in line with what has been mentioned on this forum. I've decided that I'll end up doing asset modeling. Initially, I was thinking of going into…
Justin I don't know you personally but you seem like a nice guy. Just go into every situation iwth a person as if you know them and you like them. Talking to them is simply saying hello as if you know them. It can to be tough when you don't meet new people but go to your local pub and meet people. Play some pool, darts…
