Heya guys! I completely forgot to update my thread last night when I went to bed. @s60 - I couldn't agree more actually, I actually dropped the saturation out of the scene in an effort to make it look more "realistic". It turns out that what was making it look unrealistic was more the break in the scaling of some of the…
Please note that I am not upset or angry or (fill in emotional response to critique) before reading further. It would be quite unnecessary for me to go through all of your feedback point by point and illustrate how I have taken into account past feedback (it is simply not noticeable to you or perhaps many others). The only…
Almost no-one I know of uses Spheremaps anymore (since they look very wrong for what they give back, might as well go with a Specular term instead) and the very few cases that do use them are pretty rare since it's will be more of an specific artistic choice, and cubemap isn't always used for real-time stuff, you can use…
I use excel. Yep I said it... This will probably seem pretty ghetto but I've tried other project/task tracking solutions and it always seems to be a bunch of micro management. I'm a working lead so the majority of my time needs to go to doing actual work not tracking and filling in fields. With a lot of the trackers, I end…
haha, any time superman and batman have gotten into a fight, it's guaranteed certainty that supes held back in some way. even in the dark night returns (which was fantastic, by the way. and the graphic novel was even better). you want to know what happens when superman doesn't hold back and gives zero fucks about anything?…
that's exactly the problem. Given that VN is much cheaper than China that won't be a lot. You'll return home poor. Maybe you make 400 usd a month, but I heard of people who make less. As a teacher, if you hire on with a university, you'll get a room and food for free though and a legit work permit and you get some cash…
Trondheim The Great Hall of Trondheim was my first large task for this project. The concept needed to be grounded and striking to the viewer. The idea was that this hall housed all the yarls of neighboring towns when raiding season came about in the summer. It did not belong to one yarl in particular but instead was…
I think what bothers me the most from that side of thought are two things. 1) Obsession and/or ability to throw away your life for a company = passion. 2) Money cures all and no where else will pay you to work normally. Anyone can spend 80 hours a week at work, but by no means does that mean that they are contributing…
1). Split Polygon tool has a snapping tolerance option, you can choose how powerful to make the snap, and where along the line to snap. It defaults to 50% along an edge, if you increase the tolerance then it will be more likely to jump to exactly 50% if you're near the middle of the edge. Unfortunately without custom…
Current progress: Over the past few days I got some more concrete ideas on how an actual "game" (as opposed to just a navigable environment) might work. It's still intended to be very simple - you capture little glowing Will O' Wisps, and then use them to power magical abilities that help you progress through the level. (I…
