Re: 51 things every game student should know
I believe her linkedin has more accurate data, I've googled around when this thread started, and found a quite extensive job list however most of it is barely touching ps3/360-gen (she graduated in early 90s), and past four (?) years she's been pretty much only teaching, not working in game development. the fact that I can… -
Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
Great podcast, lots of good information and experience being shared. There was mention of the shader math behind PBR running a bit more expensive than legacy methods; any idea how much of a hit that was? Alien: Isolation for example is slated for release on PS3, did that require any serious additional wrangling for perf?… -
Re: 100th Post!
I want to *massively* pimp the 4th place winner from the 3d total Movie Mashup Challenge: http://www.3dtotal.com/articles/challenge_results/july_10/july_results_4th.php CLP is a coursemate of mine and his concept work is always fab. He won a bunch of PS3 stuff for winning an 'Infamous' comic book competition by Sony a… -
Re: "Why the end of the $60 video game is near"
Typed a long ass post, decided this made more sense. Linked article is dumb. Short answer: on the surface, games will get cheaper. Long answer: Not really. Segmenting games and selling those components individually will bring down the upfront costs, but high-end game experiences (Mass Effect, Halo, CoD) might even end up… -
Re: Mobile Gaming: 'No Reason' It Won't Replace Consoles, says Developer
While smartphones are pretty liekley to replace the handheld market (DS, PSP, etc) if they haven't already, the concole market is a completely different experience from mobile gaming which draws it's audience for differrnet reasons alltogether. I feel like this quote from the post sums it up pretty well: To add to that… -
Re: Retro Pinup Space Girl
Thanks for the great reference ZippZopp! This ppt is intense. I'll rework the gloss map according to these tips. almighty_gir (aka the british guy) haha! Small world. This tightly woven industry never ceases to amaze me. I do have a question: Why do some of my maps look lighter in tone once imported into marmoset? I've… -
Re: My PC is not booting past windows screen.
What all happens after the windows logo? Just goes black? Beep? Computer still running? Does the screen appear normally up until it stops or are there artifacts? Any recent changes in software or hardware? You're most likely having a hardware issue, maybe failing hardware, PSU/power, drivers, or overheating. If it crashes… -
Re: Painting over multiple textures
Genius! Thanks for that Cyrid - the step by step images show what I am after perfectly aswell :) I often save the PSD from Zapplink anyway, because picking it back up can be flaky sometimes, but never thought to apply the same grab back onto the other subtool. I'll test whether this works for my particular problem when I… -
Re: Uni project; Dino WIP
If you enjoy painting in 3D space (like me) I recommend trying 3D coat. You can paint onto your game mesh with full layers and you can export the layers as a PSD which works nice with photoshop. I like it because it allows you to run DX mode and preview normal and specular maps as you paint. Also! It has some neat retop… -
Re: Solved: 3DO doesn't show changes automatically
Finally, i've figured out, what was wrong. None of your advises helped. I tried to delete preferences inside photoshop and either a .psp file in the folder. Tried to increase memory space, but this changed nothing. By the way scratch space was a bit over 200 gb. i tried to find some settings inside 3do or ddo, and found a…
