Re: Normal Map Problem
Absolutely agree — this is a solid breakdown. The artifact indeed looks like a UV continuity issue rather than a bake smoothing problem, especially when the normal map values shift sharply across a hard edge. Seeing the UV layout over the normal map would clarify it instantly. Automation of manual work – developers can… -
Re: How do you become a games writer
I wish I could, but my time is limited. My day is spent with my 11 month old - chasing her around, making sure she doesn't die. Her advanced motor skills and ability to run and now climb furniture, mixed with an innate curiosity, make this a difficult task. I could tie her down I suppose. I get about 5-6 hours a day to… -
Re: Abandon the career?
Have you thrown your hat into any remote game artist jobs? I know a handful of people that haven't worked from home while the studios on the other side of the planet. And from how it sounds you're much more interested in fantasy or non-realism stuff, which I definitely understand. So I think you should focus your stuff on… -
Re: "It's time we stopped encouraging indies" - John Warner, 'The Fall'
I don't think he's telling people to not make indie games at all. The title seems kind of misleading. The article definitely seems to be addressing generalist courses at schools, with titles like "indie game development". At the school I went to, I wanted to study games art, but the first year was a generalist games… -
Re: UK Universities
Surely the fact that you had to even say you don't want a 'self-taught vs uni' debate indicates the 'self taught' route is a very real contender for a uni course. Why exactly do you want to go to university to study game art? Just take a look at 99% of studio websites and you'll see that most specifically state their… -

Re: Help - Too many unfinished drawings!
Seconding not throwing money into anything from CA.org. MagicSugar's advice is also sound, resonates with me anyway. Regarding your issue, I don't think putting money into any classes or tutorials is going to be your answer. Not that it can't be part of the answer, most knowledge can be valuable, but it sounds to me like… -
Mad toxic discourse about character art appeal
So there's this recent situation on twitter which has steadily been turning into a dumpster fire and concerns the appeal of character art, and I thought to share a few threads from character artists and x users analysing the situation. The character in question is Kay Vess, the protagonist from the Ubisoft game, Star Wars… -
Re: NEWBIE! learning anatomy, uploading daily progress.
In my opinion the ecorche study isnt really benefiting you the way some other studies might. ecorches are great for understanding muscle deformation and developing very deep understanding but what youre losing is the artistic approach to structure and form. Like i said previously at this stage you are in serious danger of…
