At once place I worked the coders decided to shrink the textures without telling us. They played with shrinking, played with bit depth. "What have you done to the textures?" nothing... "You have...look..banding everywhere!" I can't see any banding... "Look, you've bloody done something!" Turns out they were downsampling to…
Hey folks, Im design student currently on placement and am beginning to work on my final year dissertation. I wanted to try and make it relevant to (what will hopefully be) my future career path, starting out as an environmental artist and working towards a technical artist. Now, I already have a module in final year…
hahaha...NO! Just like available models on Turbosquid and Crativecash wont replace the jobs of modelers. Auto-rigging system and scripts will help super small indie projects but for bigger professionnal works, an entitled specialized rigger who know his expressions, nodes and python will always be in top demands in the…
Thanks Guys, all great and good replies. Well I have been finding that UDK's mat editor is being quite limited and as much HLSL I know it doesn't quite cut into the things I would like to be doing. We have hit on some problems and not having access to source has troubled our team, we know the effect is theoretically…

I'm taking the plunge from working with shaders in node based editors (like UDK's material editor) to writing code out by hand. It looks like I'm going to have to use GLSL because for various mysterious tech reasons (this is beyond my control). Is there any rendered out there that will let me load in GLSL shaders and…
In search of a Unity Level Designer who is experienced with node based material editors like ShaderForge or the Unreal Material Editor. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working with light baking and very experienced working within the Unity Engine. Please send code samples and portfolio links to…

About the Project: * Working title: “Eternal Night” * Dark fantasy action RPG * Heavy focus on tone, atmosphere, embodied combat, and deep narrative *…
I think you will have a keen advantage when it comes to space relationships that designers or environment artists who did not study architecture had to learn on the fly. Either way you go... going through a degree shows that you have the capability to stick it through a long term goal which regardless of what people think…
