No, it was no joke! I am sick of women in (video) games treated as mostly mindless flesh. Most of the time they are displayed as sex-symbols with no more background than 'big boobs and show them... and ass!'. Women in games do have a role, which does not fall under 'Art' as they represent the female gender no matter what…
That's a good association with the lock hasp and I though about it too. I'm wondering more about the process of finding the shape that will make the lock looking sci-fi. Maybe I'm complicating simple stuff. I talked with an experienced car designer once and asked him about some cuts in hard-surface shapes. He said that of…
hawken: Bear in mind with your "don't believe stuff you've been fed by 'the man'" argument ... you're just blindly accepting these counter-arguments and conspiracy theories without questioning them yourself. You're just blindly accepting the "other side", as it were. The problem is it's incredibly hard to get any objective…
I saw the screenshots before the actual gameplay video and I was instantly heartbroken from the excellent (but oh so different) art style. Seeing it all in motion, however, looked completely beautiful. I know it's not the style I want from a Diablo game, which should be as grunge and coagulated blood stained as possible,…
Idiotic people also shouldn't be allowed to drive. They shouldn't be allowed to go to parties. They shouldn't be allowed to own guns. They shouldn't be allowed to drink. They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. If you're going to restrict things based on stupidity you've got a hell of a lot of more important issues to…
I'm not sure I agree with you there Frell. Call of Duty is the best selling game franchise ever. So your point about weaving out players constantly is not grounded in the reality but more in your own view on the game. While Call of Duty rarely comes up with anything new and exciting, it's still grounded in a solid online…
People and attitudes like this are why I feel I sometimes don't mesh with certain types of game artist. People who have a problem with symbolism are the kind i would except to bring a dragon to an art show. Granted I don't have the resume to crit anyone for trying to make "cool stuff", but if you're gonna dismiss symbolism…
You're using the older method :) The 'synced' workflow I'm talking about is the more modern method. And yes you're right, I commend your dedication to learning this stuff as thoroughly as you can. Understanding the WHY behind why we do certain things when baking NMs is so important and overlooked in favour of mindless…
He's not really the same character in the book though, if I remember correctly he's much older and an alcoholic, so not exactly the action hero type he was in the movie. And you're right about when he dies but it still does a good job of helping push the final act - plus he hadn't been directly involved in most of the…
