Re: Bayonetta
Most people think this is a button masher. But to get a nice chain to air to finish that can kill all on screen enemies is really hard. Switching yourvweapons mid combo changes the branching or can extend. You can just mash on the buttons, but it will take a long time to kill the enemies. Learning witchtime is a must. -
Re: Autodesk to go subscription-based only
It's a matter of preferences. Mesh fusion is useless for subdiv modelling. It just creates a very dense mesh and it's not very useful for production models, models that can be modelled with less polygons (70-90% less). And of course, it's a plugin you MUST pay separately. Meshfusion is not the tool of the gods :) , but a… -
Re: I want the experience of college but not the debt
don't covet thy neighbors debt. The fundamental advantage of college in this industry is it enables you, if you are social to build your contacts, but there are other ways, game dev groups in your local city, most citys have them, they tend to meet up once a month at a bar or pub here and socialize/talk shop, and then… -
Re: Workslime
I honestly think it's in the job description of most anyone with power or decision making capability to make shit difficult for everybody else in the long run - for the sake of saving a little bit of time in the immediacy of the moment. "Fix what we already have? Hell no! Release more products! More I say!" Of course, I'm… -
Re: 3D artist portfolio: Crits please!
The major fixes have already been pointed out here, but I think the whole site could use a boost in contrast. The black text everyone else has mentioned is the glaring example, but most uses of dark grey on dark grey and light grey on light grey are really hard to read. This is especially noteworthy on your navigation and… -
Re: Games Industry Mentor
That's exactly how I felt. I had no real direction. I was adding things to my portfolio in a really unproductive manner as I wasn't good enough to make each piece killer, and I had no real focus. It didn't help that Maya wasn't second nature to me at that time. But now, after listening to your podcast, and hanging out in… -
Re: Unity 2.5 game engine available for windows now!
So I just downloaded the Unity Demo for windows and I have to say its really impressive. I have never seen a game engine that's so easy to use. The learning curve was almost non existent thanks to the help buttons and excellent documentation. Importing a model from Maya was as simple as saving my scene and then directly… -
Any downsides to Paint Shop Pro 10?
Just got the demo and ordered the full version. I must say, for less than $100 it's got most of the functionality of Photoshop at a small fraction of the cost. Plus you can customize your keyboard! Bout friggen time. It saves and loads my existing .psd files properly. Anyone know of any drawbacks to it besides it not… -
Re: War of the Worlds
[ QUOTE ] sigh.. why can't anyone make the book into a good movie?? [/ QUOTE ] Believe it or not, most people haven't read the book, and some things just don't translate as well to film. And according to everyone else and myself, it was a good movie, so he must have done some whacky thing right! -
Re: WIP M5 Stuart Tank
You really can't model tank treads like that... it's just super inefficient if you're gonna animate/rig them, and they must be using most of your poly budget. In general, your spread of polygons is kinda uneven. And heh, lil plug, but I have a DVD out on the highpoly modeling: http://eat3d.com/dozer_part1
