Re: Interesting Talk on the Death Of Consoles
The global melt down was slow to hit entertainment and entertainment lags behind all other growth. It's no surprise that the raise in cheap and free games coincides with this down turn. It makes sense, dollar stores and bargain bins take off when the economy turns for the worse. But as things start to improve people get… -
Re: Are more 4K textures being used in games now?
If you've got a streaming setup similar to Unreal's virtual textures or the more recent stuff enabled by dx12 then texture size really isn't a concern anymore and you can chuck 4k or bigger maps around as much as you like. if you don't then texture size very much is a concern and 4k maps are generally something you want to… -
The Facepalm Gaming Marathon for Charity
Some of you might not know, but I run a little indie studio called Pixelante; we were even in the PAX10 (prime) last year with Fowl Space. Well now I'm organizing a new charity fundraiser for Child's Play and the Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund, called the Facepalm Gaming Marathon. We're going to be streaming… -
Re: What made you feel good today?
My work colleagues discover two new ancient worlds in galaxy next-door. Two new planets orbiting a very old star in our nearby galaxy, known as Kapteyn's star, are reported in a new study by an international team of astronomers, including University researchers. One of these planets around Kapteyn's star could be ripe for… -
Re: Activision CEO Earns 64.9 Mil
^ yeah me too. It's a state of mind I've done my best to follow the last couple of years. I don't want to go back to using disks again or have an entire shelf in my house dedicated to storing the digital products I own on cartridges or anything physical, I'd rather just have a hard drive or a service like steam provide all… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
It might've helped if they'd had the common sense to release it on the platform everybody uses instead of the one nobody does. It's like streaming services; it's not good for one company to basically have a monopoly on it, but nobody wants to have to have a million of them so if the media's not on the one everyone uses,… -
Re: [TOOL / ADDON] VmBaker - GPU-accelerated texture baker (Maya, Blender & beyond)
Thanks! To be totally honest, my plans for it are pretty open ended at this point - at least in the long term. Since you mentioned Marmoset, I don't really want to compete with standalone tools like that because I often find them quite cumbersome for quick iterative tasks. My main issue with bakers like Marmoset,… -
Re: Women in Game Art
That's the great thing about art, you can express yourself and your art tothe best of your ability and post it online. People don't know if you are a male or female, but they can enjoy your work regardless! When I started doing my dota2 art I never corrected people if they said I was male or female. I streamed with no cam… -
Art from my upcoming Steam/iPad game Dungeon Hearts
I haven't posted on polycount in many years (probably not since participating in the first Dominance War), but it's provided me with tons of inspiration. I'm not nearly as talented an artist as most of the posters here, but maybe some of you will find it interesting. Background: Dungeon Hearts is a fast-paced JRPG/Puzzle… -
[UE4] Hallway Complex
Hi all, I haven't posted in here in a while because I a) created a new account to better match my other media outlet names, and b) I've mainly been posting work updates in Discord. I thought it would be good for me to get additional feedback on my project through Polycount (hence this thread) and to engage more with the…
