I'm working a day job to pay the bills until my game development becomes more profitable. I think that's common. I put a lot of effort though in keeping my living expenses as low as I possibly could, in order to minimize the amount of time I need to spend on my day job. I got a tiny dirt cheap apartment right in the center…
Advantages? OctaneRender (Doesn't run on a mac since it requires Cuda) and especially Furryball (which doesn't run native on OSX) have some steep hardware requirements $ and cost as you state where Owlet doesn't have those requirements and for two more days, a license can be purchased for <$17 and you get 12 other software…
Wow! Scrolling down this thread and seeing your improvement is very very impressive! I'm looking to try out some Hand painted textures myself. I was wondering uses Mudbox to do this? I have painted textures in Mudbox most recently on the game I Am Bread. I love the feeling of painting onto a model, especially with a…

So quick summary of my situation. I left the marine corp about a year ago and am able to use the gi bill to pay for schooling. Ive finally come to a decision and I want to put 100% effort into becoming a game artist. I would like to focus on 3d modeling, 2d texturing, possibly animation. Now to the bread and butter. I know…
Last time was a small update, I am afraid this is a big one!!! As I wrote in our newsletter: The autumn is here and the best of it, we can spend more time inside and creating art! :poly124: I am glad to tell, the game is done! Unfortunately only on paper. :-( We locked down all the levels and feature so NOTHING can be…
Yeah 3d coat is still a bit weird. I'd recommend turning off symmetry when you're doing the Autoretopo. draw your topology lines across the entire intersection of the dino in an isometric side view, as if you're slicing him like a loaf of bread along his mid section. You need it to be iso to be more or less symmetrical. In…
When I say 'unique mechanic', I'm referring to a one-off quest that required special programmer, AI and or UI time to pull off. The stuff in circle tower would be a good example of that. Unique compared to the bread-and-butter quest of the main game. Saying the gameplay is the same as KOTOR or NWN means I'm not sure we…
[ QUOTE ] Do you remember the macworld video 99 of the first halo game? Tell me anything around that same period that looked even half as good. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not looking to start anything because I agree with your core point. It was pretty good looking to those who had not been playing games on the PC. For console people…
Skankerzero you are wrong, i'm the second to point this out to you. you have the right idea but its backwards. below is a graphic that i found. ps. I love it when someone has already done what i originally set out to do. its truely a beautiful thing. especially for time wasters like forums, to explain to someone something…
