Re: Awesome old games, Go play them!
Depending on the controllerboard you're using, you don't need to solder a thing. And even if you do, soldering really isn't all that hard. At least not for this sort of stuff. http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html This thing features screw-in terminals for yer wires, and if you crimp some crimp connectors on the other end of… -
Re: Making clothing, especially dresses?
What kind of hardware will the game be running on? Mobile: You're stuck probably rigging it with a few extra bones and hand animating it. The tutorial I wrote up helps get cloth motion without the headache of hand animating it. But you would want to do that on pretty low end hardware where the animations are set in stone,… -
Re: How detailed do our naming conventions need to be professionally?
At my previous job we used a consistent folder directory, along with using our initials when naming textures so we didn't all make Brick01.tga when working on the same project. Keeping a universal way of organizing things was pretty important as we'd be updating visual environments from 15+ years ago on some occasions, and… -
Re: warhammer 40k - table top
I was always more into the Warhammer Fantasy than 40k. I still have a decent number of Orc & Goblin miniatures (some painted fairly well, I reckon!) and some of my friends used to ask me to paint up their miniatures for them. I actually ended up getting into Necromunda a lot more than any of the "large scale" tabletop… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Galactic Triumvirate - wvaughn409
Hi Vaughn, I would agree with your better half. Its very easy to get stuck into the fun stuff of lens flares, depth of field, epic lightshafts and trying bells and whistles like depth of field. I find myself falling into that sometimes, where I've spent 2 hours in the editor just messing with values and post process. The… -
Re: Office Chair Modeling, and a workflow discussion
Thx @Mirbobo and @pior I think a concrete example might help illustrate my current "modeling speed" issue a bit better. So say I want to make a simple bar counter like this: This looks easy, right, mostly primitive shapes. But it ends up taking me 5 hours to get to this (model -> uv -> baking -> test material) The main… -
Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
My biggest problem with college (aside from the cost) was the fact that I felt like I was being held back a little. Many of the courses were not advanced enough to challenge me artistically - the most challenging part was often the time management, as my school ran on a fast-paced quarter system. Being okay'd to register… -
Re: Freelancing Help USA
If your client is in Canada, it would probably good to ask your client if they are aware of taxation levied against contractors outside of Canada. From the standpoint of U.S. taxing authorities, it generally doesn't matter WHERE the income originates. If you make money and are a citizen or resident, the government wants… -
Re: Morbid Drunks rule! (skip if you dislike vents...)
Well, in reading all of that, the best advice I can give ya is that these things most often do not last forever. Stuff happens, feelings fade, etc... (Not that yours is about to end, it might last forever for you, it happens at many ages). However, it is not the end of the world when they do though. Despite what you might… -
Near-future City (first UDK environment)
Hey guys, I've started my first UDK project - a near future vaguely sci fi city environment. This concept is a paintover of a quick 3d blockout from max. I've now started blocking some stuff out in UDK with a couple of temp textures and a temp skydome. Textures will be diffuse and emissive only. Hopefully sort of painterly…
