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…
Im trying to avoid making her too curvy or busty, I want her body to be rather average in size and proportion. Not really sexy but definitely beautiful (in the way a painting or an old woman might be) and majestic almost in some ways androgynous, but not quite. I checked her body type against some reference (This photo was…
I think this idea is so playful and I adore it! I know you said that you plan on remaking your splash art with your own style, but I figured I would dish out some constructive criticism on what you have so far anyway (in hopes that it helps you some). I think the color scheme works well and the action and POV is absolutely…
@Martijn Thanks :D Today I've begun doing some more visual work, mainly particles effects at the moment. I got a bit carried away in the end and made 14 of them but at least that's particles I don't have to make later ! The fire is is the only one that's used in engine as a scenery piece, the rest are explosions and such…
I feel that the biggest thing holding most AAA games back is the writing. Graphics are getting astoundingly beautiful, game design hyper polished, but the writing still feels very amateurish in most of the major titles. I understand, writing and dialogue in games is still very new, compared to literature and film. It has…
