Logic break down of big level in my eyes: A big level = more content. More content = more work. More work = need for motivation/dedication/planning/etc. All of that = pretty daunting. Daunting 'usually' = a lot of really mediocre pieces to fill out the env. That = a meh portfolio piece. Meh portfolio piece = probably no…
[ QUOTE ] Hmm, I just got back from it. I enjoyed it a lot - great acting in general (Jack Nicholson was superb), and I liked the plot. START SPOILERS! I have to agree with Jam though, I didn't know what happened to that yellow envelope the woman ended up with, or what it was even for. It just seemed like a random thing…
Yeah, Shep speaks the truth. Make the room look nice when it's fairly empty, and it'll look even better with props. That way you establish what's most important to the environment first, and you can spend the rest of your time until whatever deadline you have on unnecessary but nifty decorations. If you do props first you…
awesome advice sliva! I know who i'll be talking to, more or less. it's actually with the Environment Art Lead at the company. so I guess the one on one type stuff will be more apparent. i just don't want to seem like an idiot when i get the call. you know how those random times of moment happen. i call them Bud Light Real…
Looks good from what little I know about the series. I think the texture could benefit from being more than just solid colors and linework. I realize you said you were using a cel shader, but as it stands it's very bland and visually boring. I'd try to get some kind of metal texture going on to vary up material types, some…
wow I'm glad you're doing better, hopefully that won't happen again! It's kind of ironic that it happened at PF Changs. I have a mild allergy to wheat and glutton and its one of the places I can get an allergy free meal. Changs Chicken FTW. It took me 5 years of being sick to my stomach after almost every meal before we…
Ok here's the dilemma I'm in. I want to create a skin for the scrapped Nail Grenade in TF2, as it didn't come with a skin. However, I want to give it lots of detail and make it look very TF2-like. The only problem is, I don't know how to create a skin from scratch or generate a <whatever>Map for a TF2 .MDL file. By…
Everything these guys said pretty much covers it. I'll try to add/illustrate some points as well. What i didn't hear anyone say, Is it's probably a good idea to have a fixed number of components, Because it looks very strange when one is missing. Gearbox did this occasionally with BL1 with the SMG's and them being stock…
WOW how humor has changed. I remember the days (not that long ago) when this would have gotten a chuckle and not sparked such a "hot debate". I remeber movies making fun of "terrorists" and "funny generalizations" and no one thought twice about it. Movies like Airplane, even Back to the Future used terrorists in a…
