Re: Self-study to professional game artist: What do you know now that you wish you knew then?
I've kept notes since 2015 about what my work habits are and what I always needed to do to improve them. I think the biggest mistake I made was always keeping my project scopes so small. Admittedly, some of this is do to some hardcore nostalgia I have growing up in the PS1/PS2 era, when games were designed to be ultra… -
Re: [Question] Global GI and Area Lights
The massive performance loss would be from the LPVs, which even at it's current state(the video is from 2015) is still hardly usable.

Re: District 9 Mech - WIP
I don't know how old you want this to feel, but I think it would add visual interest to add signs of age with painted damaged areas and oil stains. Oil stains like this, either in gloss or albedo http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=5467 And painted erosion spots that was painted over quick and not with that great care of… -

Re: Help with making a stair case using Duplicate multiple command using Softimage
I think the scale is always a multiplication to be honest. If you enter a formula like +1 it seems to do the math first and then use the resulting number as the value. A simple script could probably get around it, but it would be one of those things where creating it would take longer than the alternative method. The… -

Re: Maya Animation Pipeline/workflow for Games?
Check out the bake deformation tool in Maya LT 2018 : http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYALT/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-8B68FF4A-E9BC-44E9-B0D9-53CFE0C008FC This will approximate deformers on a skin cluster that you can export to game via fbx.

Re: Final Fantasy XII
I've been playing it for 105 hours so far. I dont feel yet like I'm near the end... and I still have a mouthfull of Marks to hunt. My highest character is penelo at level 61. the rest are fairly equal. I like good balance in my team. 57, 60, 55, 58 etc.. I favored penelo because she seamed the weakest, so I made her the… -
Re: Abeebapalooba
[ QUOTE ] its back to the future 2, isn't it? [/ QUOTE ] THAT'S THE MOVIE I WAS THINKING OF! It's the part when he goes back to 1985, but Biff went back to 1955 and gave young Biff the sports almanac from 2015, so it's an alternate 1985 where Biff is rich and married to Marty's mom. Now that I know what movie it was, I'm…
