Re: POLYCOUNT STUDIO???
There were many people who started their own business of CG Arts from this very website. This website is however like HP said, a game artist community, if it turns in to a PC Studio than PC itself will lose its very purpose. Through this community I learned alot, and finally got from a noob level to an intermediate level… -
Re: Pokemon style Texture Atlas and UV layouts?
What happens will be hardware dependent (i know nothing about the hardware) and engine dependent(i know nothing about the engine) but, some thoughts because I have time to kill... * They could be using texture arrays to batch materials which sort of qualifies as magic . * They could be doing some sort of megatexturing * If… -
Re: JonJone's Info Dump on Portfolios & Resumes!
Actually that page plus all of the thumbnails is less than 5 MB. That's about as much as one or two streamed MP3s. It's not a super heavy page. Mind you, it could still be a lot smaller if the images used more compression since it is all greyscale: And you could use online compression tools like… -
Re: Megalodon (Concept)
I would suggest paying closer attention to your reference, or find more natural reference. The silhouette is nice and the boney armor is cool, but the lack of anatomical realism is holding it back. Sharks are smooth and stream-lined. They don't have fat folds or double chins. They also don't have lips or eyelids. Muscle… -
Re: PS3 vs 360 - differences in modelling & texturing?
[ QUOTE ] Although the 512MB memory of the 360 can be used for anything, and the PS3 has 256MB of texture memory, you DON'T have double the memory on the 360. Games don't use all the memory for graphics. So yes, you probably do have more texture memeory on the 360, but tools and engines are wonderful things for artists. [/… -
Re: The Spirit Molecule (low crab!)
yeah, I've done it. It was largish crystals, like pieces of sand. We smoked it, but I didn't get enough to really throw down the full "sucked into the stream of time" effect I've heard and read about. It felt like a really intense sharpening of my sense of the room around me, but not multi colored or warping like with… -
Re: Console Purchase Help
Funny, you predicted correctly... I took it back to Walmart. Mainly because Circuit City and Best Buy both ran an ad recently that included getting Fuzion Frenzy 2 for free. So they would probably only give me .01 of store credit I honestly don't think of it as a big deal since they did get a sale out of me still and they… -
Re: Fallout 3
I've had it crash on my PC, normally when zoning during fast travel or when talking to NPC's and the radio kicks over to a new clip. When it crashes it will continue to crash if I relaunch it without restarting. Also if it crashes I can keep playing as long as I don't switch zones, very weird. If I restart then launch it… -
Re: How are you organizing level design for ease of iteration?
@Lamont & @poopipe thanks a ton! very helpful to me to get some idea how others strategize the whole process. It all makes good sense to me and gives confidence to trust in the process. @poopipe about this sentence here: "for that example I'd want the smallest granularity to represent something along the lines of a house… -
First Dota2 Submission :D
Hi all! I wanted to take a crack at submitting an animated courier to Dota2. It was a fair chunk of work, but I'm happy with what I accomplished in the 3000 tri / 52 bone limit. If you have any comments or suggestions I would be interested to hear them. If you like what you see I would really appreciate a thumbs up rate on…
