i know of people who've done it and gotten fired too. but at the end of the day the ball needs to start rolling somewhere. i'm of the very firm opinion that anyone who works themselves into the ground, without actually being paid for it is a fool, and the "i have a family to support" argument, is made void by the fact that…
One Enviro artist normally isn't resposable for everything you see on the screen so its not as easy to pimp as a character. "I did the three buildings on the left, but only textured two of them, oh and the street lamp and the rubble pile are mine". Just to be a dick I'm going to toss this out there. Maybe enviro guys don't…
Some older polycounters might remember I was keen on unionizing back in the early 2000s in games. I still am, but remember the frustration at how little interest their was among other game devs. I've switched careers and now am a member of an active union and wanted to share my experience, now that I've seen a renewed…

I set out to make a dithering shader in UDK, for this 3D pixel art game I want to make- I was thinking it could help me sell…

While videos and tutorials are…

@Rorsh Thank you for providing those sample images. The Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR DX is one of their softer kit lenses. Stopping down to somewhere between f/5.6 and f/8 should help sharpen things up a bit. It also looks like the camera is having some minor back focusing issues in the first two photos. Stopping down to…
Why are people saying Beth games aren't broken out of the box without unofficial patches? Blue Palace had bugs as far as a couple of months ago that constantly crashed mods which stored items in it, fixed by the community, and Papyrus still spits out errors about Blue Palace due it script calling your character even if you…
