Introduction I'm currently working on a top-down shooter, codenamed Aurora. It will be a multiplayer exclusive, but the backstory is set in a future where magic is real and has been exposed to the public. The player is a member of a military task force established to contain the threat of magical creatures passing into our…
@thomasp I've actually used 512 rays at work during production, and my GTX 960 2Gb bakes 4k AO maps with that ray count in about 10-20 minutes. The quality is alright, but it's just that for personal work I want to crank the quality to the 11, lol. I was actually thinking about baking 8k maps with 8192 rays on my upcoming…
Olli. - I must first overcome this severe case of man flu before I can drink beer again, in the meantime I will have to settle for toilet roll and cough sweets haha mbischof - Thanks :) The calm before the storm that is baking and retopping Update I managed to make some more progress on this. Here are 2 images with my…
I am experiencing three main problems at the current time in 1.4(Note this was the same issue as in 1.3 so not a new problem but still a problem). Also for reference I am using PS CC 20140730 1) After generating a photo-normal from a photo(using the photo normal presets full spectrum) I attempt to use that photo-normal in…
I used to work in the biggest testing company the UK: Babel media. Although my department was entirely different (game marketing) to the 300 odd staff that tested games, I used to hang out down the pub with a lot of the QA guys. The guys there were just hearded into offices and set side-by-side in what must have been one…
Well i see what you are saying. For me one thing that really bothers me is the long term career prospects in this industry. As you mentioned artists always seem to be the first to get the chop and its this aspect of the industry that is the most concern. I am possibly facing looking for work again soon which i am not…
Sorry, double post but this topic gets me irrate and I need to vent. :P I really detest the complete black and white mentailty of the uninformed masses and beuarocrats. Where is the wisdom in their call to blanket ban violent games? Where is the understanding of the underlying issues of our increasingly apathetic society?…
Hi, the mace have 783 Polys. It's the only "version" of the mace that I've made. I absolutely don't know how to do for it. If I must do two times the same model, but once with "high" details and the other one without any detail, if I must do the high poly then use a modifier to do a low poly version of it... I tried to…
As a beginner I must critique......if you're looking to improve your skill set you must start smaller. This is too big a project. Pick a room to start. or a small building..(like an old gas station.) It's kinda been done to death, but find something along those lines. (an old barn...etc.) Starting small and forcing…
I always find it funny when people complain about lack of console control. For a good game, the player must feel that the controls work for them. I never felt robbed of precision in Halo2, and I love the way you feel in control in Forza and Super Monkey Ball (GC). If they just dumped a PC game on a console, then you might…
