Storyline Idea: An abandoned building with a dark past... The "Pinon Grove" mental asylum in Staunton, Virginia" was established in the late 1800's and was considerd a haven for patients of a fragile mental state. Built to house 800 patients at a time, it fell subject to extreme overcrowding with a peak of over 3,000…
going crazy with shaders "depends", on many mobile chips you would want to save vertex shading cost + amount of vertices, given their approach to rendering. in a basic pipeline you have two phases. First is that when you draw your mesh, all vertices will go through the current vertex-shader. Second is that your triangles…
This is a complicated question but let me take a crack at it. It helps to think of the Skyshop Sky object as another dynamic light in your scene. Objects with lightmaps can still be lit by other lights in the scene; think muzzle flashes, vehicle headlights moving around, etc. All these other lights are added on top of…
I love things like these, I just tried rt_break and its kinda cool, although I very rarely break vertices. I like the create shape from border and the detach to element without a popup window asking if you want to detach to element or object each time. It doesnt seem to do anything in edge mode though, I replaced the edge…
Thought I might chime in, I am currently a Character artist at the Auckland studio. I gave my 30 days notice moments before the news of that article came out. The decision to leave was for the most part, due to other more recent changes inside the company that I will not mention. It is so very good to know that we aren't…
Hey mate, So first things first. Your pillars are looking really good. I really like the look of them. When you take a second pass at them, I think you do need to look at making them dirtier (dirtier at the bottom and cleaner at the top and all that) and I'd also add some greenery to break them up a little more. I also…
He was possibly this blunt because we are friends on discord (i accudentally met him because of a friend of mine) and he never shared his identity with me (although i know who he is) and he might have thought that there were no real setbacks to him talking that way. I don't mean in the "i'll let everyone know this guy is…
I'm a bit hesitant about posting this, but I hope it can be helpful for people currently in school or recent grads. Someone on the hangouts mentioned this thread so I figured I'd write something up The early years: I grew up not thinking about being a 3d artist. In high school, I dicked around with Photoshop to make some…

The ball of fur rolled over and muttered something about bombs. How loud are his explosions in his dreams? At least we’re on the same page. good. 0202 - b 0203 - o 0204 - r…
