Re: where have all the plycounters gone
The way I see it is this. The proportion of AMAZING artists and new artists has changed significantly. When the community was smaller, game dev was a lot less popular, and all those Polycount legends who were really active, they weren't being bombarded with posts every day. There was 1 main pimpin' and previews page, and… -
Re: Can I learn 3d modeling?
Hey, I just turned 30 myself. 2 years ago I became frustrated with how my job required absolutely no imagination or creativity (admittedly I don't know the difference between those two words). Don't feel like it's too late, else you'll end up having to work in your crappy job for the next 35 working years. 30 is the new 20… -
Re: Gender monkey warriors ( I need a better name)
You try to make a low poly, with a different approach than you usually take and the whole site goes insane, I am not the one exuding anger here. People were on me about making something that was low poly and mostly about textures, I finally decided to do something like that; I decided to use the method I used in the 900… -
Re: Tribes Ascend
I think the problem stems from the lack of balance at the start of the game and limited set of weapons you have access to overall in the game and the classes. You get ALOT of EXP if you kill over 10 people, so Defenders like me, don't get much action to share in, especially if your team kites and bomb runs effectively the… -
Re: Character Art Games course, What do you want to know?
Anybody can teach, but to be a good teacher -- that's something special. Like anything else, you have to really care about what you are doing, and strive to be the best at it. I think OP asking their prospective students what challenges them is a sign that OP is serious about becoming a great teacher. Sometimes the way… -
Re: Best program for making levels/landscapes?
I'm a enviromental artist and I use max8. Here is a brief run down of my workflow. Most of my enviroments end up being large outdoor places. We do pre-rendered work but I always keep my scene low poly since it effects my render times. If you are new to max then I would say stick with the off the shelf packages they have… -
Re: Any cheap 3d schools?
[ QUOTE ] I attended the Art Institute at Portland for computer animation from 1998-2001. I can honestly say without having gone there I probably would not be working in the game industry today. HOWEVER, I had never picked up a mouse in my life prior to going to school there nor had I ever taken an art class. The education… -
Re: Potential Bill against Game Devs
Actually, that's a nice argument for the defense, Malekyth. Since you are (I assume) a mature human being, you may have felt that impulse but the fact is you *didn't* tear across the lawn to cut out the red light. If you didn't lose your mind because you played GTA, why should someone else get to use that excuse? If GTA is… -
Re: Sketchbook: Abhishek Chaudhry
Saidin: Fyi the vanishing points of objects aren't always the exact same unless you are doing an orthographic projection, or they are all in the same plane and at the same orientation. So the vanishing points of the road and the chair should generally line up, but everything else is pretty well on its own. Indian Boy:… -
Re: Environment portfolio piece, destroyed poultry cross
The seams are killing the look of the modular walls. Try and sort that asap, before anything else.
