Re: How do Americans reconcile the concept of bootstraps with being a nation of fatasses?
Its not always cheaper, and its not always more expensive, you throw in some fresh fruit, say pineapple, some strawberries, and yeah, MEAT, and your shopping list goes from $14 to about $40, Now you could eat a double cheese burger every day for ever meal for a weak, and spend $15. Like i said, if you want to eat SHIT, it… -
Re: Answered: Quixel DDO 3DO increase performance
Disabling the AA,AF in Nvidia Control Panel don't work, the AA is still visible in 3DO. I adjusted the Nvidia image settings to Performance and noticed slight fps increase. Also overclocked my card by 10-15% and fps increased by 3,4 frames. I made a test with a object around 5000 tris and 1x 8192x8192 Ambient Occlusion… -
Re: game art college graduate success rate....
Of a class of 35 - 40, 5 went on to work in games. The rest either dropped out, or are working somewhere else. Of the 3-5 from my class only 2 that I know of are still actually working in games, Myself and one other guy from my class. The rest are working in IT, much more money and far less stress - but those guys do miss… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I think you also have to consider the engine that games use today. How many studios have UE3 as the engine for most current gen games (that's right, it's not next gen anymore damn it!) A ton. If it's not UE3, it's something that was made in house like Uncharted 2's game engine or Killzone. So you already have say 40-60% of… -
Re: Masters and Post Graduate Courses in the UK
Don't expect a postgrad degree to be much of an improvement over a normal one, or that it's going to teach you the stuff you'll need to get into the industry. Been there, done that, and pretty much the only things taught that were relevant to the job, I already knew. So you'd probably end up spending time doing assignments… -
Re: Valve considering user funded game development
The only reason this might work is because this is valve. I'm also excited by the prospect of a highly motivated creative team being able to make whatever the *#&($ they want. Don't see that often enough. I'd be willing to pay 40 bucks to valve for that, Hell i almost feel like i owe it to 'em. Sure the game might crash… -
Re: Question for you guys
I know my company doesn't allow us to work on other stuff, and in fact goes so far as to say they own everything we ever make while under their employ. While the enforcement of such a contract is iffy at best, they'd probably fire me if I started doing side work for another company. More importantly, I come home from work… -
Re: vista locking files
Vig that last ones drives me nuts too, ie save over a file a file called texture1.tga, so click on it, then rename , still tries to save over the one I clicked first. Its just easier to type it out. If I find a definitive solution for any of this stuff I will post it. I reckon in a 40 hour week it will cost me at least 2… -
Re: This makes me laugh so hard
Settle down, Beavis. Just giving my opinion, no need for lawyers. I simply don't think anyone can declare what is or isn't bad without context. What Turner does is poor if measured against technically accurate work, George Bridgman or someone, but it's well within the established, exaggerated style of comic book art. I… -
Re: Albums That Don't Exist
good fun for a saturday morning, this ... how he'd love to be john cage the 1974 classic from the soon to be Reverend B Welchel, featuring his beaten wife on the guiro okay, it's a single not an album, and one of two - this one features a really, really shit Kevin Shields remix cos he owed the singer's dad a favour for…
