Re: The Steam Workshop grows worldly
Few things going on with this blogpost. The Civilization V link leads to the Naval War: Arctic Circle page. Civilization V is already out on Steam and has been for almost two years. What's about to be released is the new Gods and Kings pack, which is DLC and entirely separate. It's spelled Dungeons of Dredmor, and it's not… -
Re: The Polycount Book Review Thread
I really, REALLY recommend the MegamanZero one. Regardless how much I love classic and X, the design sense in the Zero is simply off the charts. The games themselves feel much more bland and empty, but the character designs in the book are simply amazing. Simple and chunky, just the way it should always be!!!… -
Re: NINJA TURTLES!!!!
See what's its done to your ability to spell? jk!jk! Wrong. Proof: The original turtles limbs were very enlarged. The new CG cartoon, and the last CG movie have been the closest. There is childish, and then there is going to other extreme to be almost scary. (BTW your Scary turtle, is Slash, a Snapping Turtle.) If your… -
Re: Most effective way to create specular maps?
random tips(?) for many objects you can use a curvature map as a starting point, multiply in some noise. for metals, etc. anisotropic (holy crap I spelled it!) noise is nice if the in game shader doesnt have a special material for it. people are oily, we leave oil all over the place. smudge up the specular where people… -
Re: 101st Airbourne 1944
Make sure they spell the name correctly; there's no 'u' in 'Airborne'. Were you going for a specific period or battle? His gear seems rather pristine and light. The uniforms were rather bulky, and they tended to carry as much gear as possible - especially when jumping. (They tended to be on their own for supplies for at… -
Re: Modular Cave Kit
Hi Larry, I have about 21 "small" cave meshes so far. Room pieces and hallway pieces. The lighting has been quite hard to try get right so far. I see that in Skyrim the caves seem to be lit up so much that you never need to carry a torch or cast the candlelight spell. I guess that in real caves it would be pitch black.… -
Re: USA Default Problem and Game Industry?
I'm sorry for double replying here, but... what?? Something is illegal completely and entirely because a law proscribes it. It's the literal definition of the word 'illegal'. il·le·gal /ɪˈligəl/ Show Spelled[ih-lee-guhl] Show IPA adjective 1. forbidden by law or statute. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/illegal If… -
Re: Games with Hand Painted Textures
Gotta agree. . These games are really gorgeaous. I'll add to that Kingdom Hearts series. You can find the models here and examine their UV's and painted textures. Also, check out the hig-poly models polycount. They've managed to make 3000's tri character more alive and dynamic than some mo-cap games make today with… -
Re: How you guys deal with freelance clients?
This is best spelled out in the contract clearly before beginning work. What sign-offs mean, when they're done and how, how much rework is acceptable, change orders and their costs, etc. I've gathered a lot of great info here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Freelance ... but the single best link of all is this one, hands…
