Re: Post one thing your favorite 3d app does well.
hard to mention only one. mudbox: external texture files that can be directly edited, used and refreshed. stencils painting on my low res model with the normal map loaded and seeing my final result. then exporting it with FBX straight in unreal :) (this now will also apply for rigged models) ofc vector displacement… -
Re: A basic game engine for my first game jam?
All depends on what you're developing. I'd argue that engines like Unreal are deeply unsuited to quickfire events like jams. Maybe it'll improve in UE4, but the iteration time is just too slow as UE3 is geared towards large scale production, and flexibility comes first. Not sure if Unity is any better, not used it enough.… -
Re: Pc build help for a noob
If your aunt's dvd drive is SATA, then yes. If not (IDE), you would need to buy a cheap one for the new computer. And of course, you can use old HHDs (like SATA2) in any new PC with SATA3. Don't consider a ssd with such high price. If the samsung model is not on sale, there are another good choices like any ocz vector or… -
Re: White Glint

Hard work does pay off, lesson learned from you :D @RyanB Whoa, that's both long and amazing list of… -
Re: Creative Artist vs. Production Artist
Hahahahaha... sorry to disappoint, Vig. Maybe you and I can duke it out in some Thunderdome matches when Borderlands comes out ;) Sad thing is I want to get into the industry as a concept artist but that's probably not going to work out, considering most concept artists bounce around doing contract work so multi-year pros… -
Re: Introducing Knald - Open Beta!
Great job guys, this seems great, I can't wait until all maps are generated in real time, I loathe rendering. A few suggestions that may have been mentioned: 1. When using the file browser it defaults to the Knald folder. Can it remember the last folder you used so when working with multiple files I don't have to go… -
Re: Choppin' the hair off for job prospects, this necessary?
Hey Jeff I cut off my long hair during my last quarter in school for the sole purpose of job hunting. Although I figure that hair and beards are pretty commonplace in the industry, the way I looked at it was that I didn't want a potential employer to have ANY excuse to not consider me. At graduation I knew i'd have…
