Re: GameTextures.com - It's like CGTextures, but for video games!
Two things: 1, you really ought to sell these all individiually/in small themed sets on the Unity store, with a link back to the gametextures website in the description for each. Look at it as an additional marketing avenue for the subscription that also leverages your collection for another revenue stream. I'm really… -
Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
I don't think it really makes any difference, reels are still useful and for me the cleanest and best way to show work off. An online folio is definitely a good idea, but its still leaves some level of interaction of the viewer, which can be unpredictable, so you still have to keep it clean and easy. A reel leaves no doubt… -
Re: Does substance designer improve performance of games?
It really depends on a lot of factors. Substances are small, footprint wise. Even if you embed a bunch of bitmaps in it, the compression will make it most likely smaller than a regular asset. Then the substance can be generated at different times: install, loading or run-time. The only performance hit you may get would be… -
Re: The other half of the Starving Artist experience: Homeless Artist
I don't know what your typical contracts state, but every full-time game-industry contract I signed prevented me from selling my own work while working for an employer. This would limit my opportunities to smooth out the dips of income because I couldn't have a second stream of income from my work. Working a job outside… -
Re: Unity Web Player - For showing off assets - How easy is it?
Yeah, it's pretty decent but there'll be drawbacks. As mentioned, you can't have dynamic shadows or any other effects that require render textures (including deferred rendering) without purchasing the Pro version, which is $1500. Aside from that, you can do pretty much anything you like. The shaders are fun to play with -… -

Re: My first prop - Japanese Bridge.
looking good! I take it this a garden bridge for crossing a small stream and so on? There are multiple construction techniques for these but the most common being more arched. For a nice touch, to really pull off a Japanesey style, did you consider posts at the ends? They are often red, round and topped with a bell shape.… -
Re: My environments
Welcome to Polycount juala. I like your scene :) It's sort of soothing in a way, must be all the blue. This is just a thought so feel free to ignore it, but I wonder what it would look like if you knocked out those blue panels in the ceiling and instead had beams of moonlight streaming in though the frame onto the floor at… -
Re: Urban Scene (hopefully will be unreal ready)
I think you have the wrong texture for cobble stones. It Looks to have lighting info in the diffuse and normal that came from a photo of a brick wall. When they wear, they don't chip and have that many hard sharp edges but more rounded and dull. Like rocks in a stream constantly being worn down. Unless the lighting is… -
