@AtticusMars I have heard of companies operating multiple computers off a single network. This enables them to have a room full of computers that connects to a single central station that has a collection of software every computer on that network can operate from. This is common in universities and community colleges. A…
Yup, pretty sure if this became a money thing our articles would have to be pulled unfortunately. We were given the OK because it was free and there is a big headache when it comes to other people making money off your companys franchies/with there name attached. Even if I didnt care, ND marketing/presidents and Sony…
When baking diffuse to diffuse, remember to shut off AA and Global Super Sampling otherwise it's going to blur things. If you turn both those things off you get a pixel prefect transfer (aside from any rescaling problems you introduce). You also don't need to project as that could cause some distrotion but bake from one…
Don't fade in your name and info at the start of the video. Don't start the video off with still images. the TF2 stuff is stronger than the first level you show. You play spaces in general look too wide open for TF2 play, or they aren't surrounded with interesting BG art. You need more medium and small detail in spaces,…
Before I say anything I should say I am still learning ... I like the idea, the tires are great, nice use of the texture space,really tight. What I dont like is how you just slapped some rust on top of everything without thinking where would rust appear first. I would add more rust where the spikes are coming off and at…
Alright, finally managed to sit down and send this. I had a bit of work to do beforehand, and lo and behold the weird still-able-to-interact-but-UI-locks-up-and-screen-goes-grey-after-a-while thing reared its ugly head after a crash while loading a texture. Cool. So I sent that off, too. And hey, I absolutely understand…
You don't mention contact with other companies until you have a job offer on the table. Interest from other companies is a bargaining chip. Don't wave it around right off the bat, save it until you've gotten some manner of offer. Tread lightly in this area, there are plenty of ways for it to work against you. Less…
Hey there! So I might be the exception, but I use fbx. I rig and animate in maya 2013,and export with fbx. Basically the workflow is something like... For Basemesh. Rig. Be Satisfied. Save. Select Hierarchy. Select Mesh. Export Selection. Turn off Baking. Turn on smoothing groups. Automatic scaling (1). Export. For…
Yeesh. Falling off of this project was not originally on my itinerary, but I guess that's a potential side effect of going from unemployed to working hours wholly incompatible with previous sleep schedules. I think a week after the official end of the challenge if probably as good a time as any to move out of Hi-Poly…
Hey everyone. It's been months! I ran into some very interesting life situations and I am now back home in NYC starting up an indie game studio with a few friends. It's been a crazy time to say the least, but as they say - you gotta strike while the iron is hot! This goes without saying, I'm on my own schedule now, and I…
