Actually it doesn't, visual effects is only digital work. Your practical effects and puppetry are called special effects and aren't part of the nominations of this award. It's also worth noting that this award is about celebrating the quality of the vfx and not the quality of the films they feature in. I think weta…
There is also an issue of licensing; Jackson had mentioned in one of the Hobbit commentaries that his movies couldn't use anything that wasn't mentioned in either the Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings books. The universe might be larger but his movies aren't allowed to dig into all of it, and I assume that games based on the…
We are creating an open-world game inspired by cyberpunk, religion, and existentialism, with a strong narrative and a unique setting. The game takes place in Eryndral, a country devastated by the War of the Four Skies in 2046, where nations were forced to merge and society is dominated by corporations controlling…

It's been a while since I posted. Things have been getting busy! But without getting into too much detail, here's what I've been up to. So I figured out what was causing the weird lighting. It was because of how the normal map was being calculated in my triplanar projection material, because triplanar projection naturally…
the definition of art is very nebuluos. If anybody wants to consider themselves an artist for virtually anything it would be impossible to prove that they were not in fact an artist. I think for the person making any important decision about what career or hobbies they would pursue, just focus on the verbs, not the nouns.…
UPDATE: So I saw The Hobbit the battle of the five armies and absolutely loved it. But one of my favorite parts of the movie and the last hobbit film was BOLG son of Azog. personally one of my favorite orc designs in recent memory. His armor, his face, the metal coming out of his body I just loved all of it. So I've…
I definitely enjoy 3D but if I could go back in time I would tell my younger self to do something that makes more money XD, I would probably still be doing 3D as a hobby. Now I can't switch because I only know how to do this.
