Re: how deep into rigging I have to be to start learning animation?
depends on what you mean by "rigging" You should know how to build a skeleton and skin weighting. you don't have to know how to build a full featured animation control rig, but having basic knowledge of the standard types of constraints is very useful. If you just want to animate there are plenty of free and low cost rigs… -
Re: Facebook buys Oculus VR
An interesting quote from the NYTimes article on the acquisition : http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/26/technology/facebook-to-buy-oculus-vr-maker-of-virtual-reality-headset.html?hpw&rref=business&_r=4 The problem I see here is that neither Oculus or Facebook know how to actually achieve that (regardless of how deep their… -
Re: When to normal map and when not to normal map
Yeah I mean you could do either, there are pros and cons. Beveling the geometry means more triangles of course, but modern games aren't typically triangle limited. Adding bevels to the textures makes them less modular, harder to do things like offset the uvs for additional variation. For something like a window frame, you… -
Re: Need your advice !
You're biting off more than you can chew. If you don't feel like you have enough experience to "start" a portfolio, don't try and make an entire game. Even if you had the skills, developing a game takes a loooong time, especially for one person. Also, why is it going to take you a year and a half to "start" a portfolio?… -
Re: "Nvidia, stop being a DICK"
I have mixed feeling about this. Imagine if Nvidia decided to make Gameworks open sourced and allow AMD to implement the tech for their own. Nvidia would no longer have any incentive to dump money into R&D, because AMD could quickly implement that tech for a much lower cost than what Nvidia spent researching it. If there… -
Re: Struggling with creativity?
Thanks for all your thoughts guys :) I feel much better after reading them. Thanks Matt, yes that makes a lot of sense. I do tend to over-think a lot, which does get in the way of creating stuff. I think I've been beating myself up too much. I've always found my internal critic to be vital, but perhaps he's getting a bit… -

Re: WIP "Hades Servant" Character
It's good that you're still willing to learn and take advice from sources other than your teachers. I'm curious, though, what school are you attending? I remember some of the first 3D classes I took had the same setup, though: here are the programs, here's how you use them, now make a short animation. On your own. I… -
