I think we need more stickies...
I think its time the stickies are cleaned up. They're pretty much eating up the first page in Tech Talk and Contests and Challenges. Suggestions: - In tech talk, move all the "engine specific stickies" into the archive, create one sticky that has one post linking to each of the engine threads. - Contests and challenges has… -
CNN Article: How to Break In
Scott Stienberg (one of the few people on TV who doesn't talk out his ass when talking about games), posted an interesting article for those looking to get into the industry. "(CNN) -- Breaking into the video game industry doesn't require fancy degrees, insider knowledge or a well-connected ex-roommate. Better still,… -
Re: Cliff Scene
Yeah, it seems that nobody likes the green lighting eh? I see what you're saying, I'm going to try replacing it with a cooler soft blue light. When you talk about the highlights on the trees from the moon, could you be more specific? Are you talking about the trees in the background of the shot, or the ones in the… -
Re: Hunting Knife
SaferDan is right - However, don't get into the mindset that a spec map is strictly black or white. that's not the way professionals usually make a spec map to be. Professionals will add different "tinges" and "hints" of color to their spec maps to make the light behave more interestingly when light reflects off certain… -
Re: 3D is no longer a hobby, working under pressure
Sounds like you get annoyed by people looking over your shoulder and talking like they know anything about what you are doing.

Re: Netflix To Split Streaming & DVD Plans

Does anyone think $2/month is a sustainable price for unlimited DVD rentals? What if we were talking about games rentals? Hell, I used to pay over $4 for each new-release DVD and I… -
Re: Quitting

If your studio is not that mature to have an hr, maybe get a doctor's note before talking to your bosses.

Re: Can I salvage this piece for my Portfolio?
I see. And no, I wasn't talking about cracks or breaks. I was talking more about structure. Easily distinguished parts what can be mapped with simle textures. Cogs of that size most likely cannot be carved out from a single piece, be it stone or metal. Anyway, I guess the biggest problem here is the overall design. That… -
Re: Radiosity in video games.
Eaxctly, that what I'm talking about and thanks for the picture example. I've just watched a tech making of assisins creed 4 and they use the same method. I'm not exactyly sure how these light probes work but that's the effect I'm talking about. Though, while it is used,I still think they should somehow ''boost'' it.…
