Hey Anux, thanks for the advice. I really think I need to back away from the peice, I'm too heavuly into it. I've got something that's at least usable out of this pass. This is the angle at which it will be viewed in the scene (and only from this angle): And here's the other side, just cos it's there: So yeah, it's not the…
The aggressive angles are cool, but I'm not quite sure how to implement them with regards to the Najno demon. I don't want to sound like the guy who doesent take suggestions, but trust me: The other demonic races (more specifically the Stai, concept above) will look quite similar to the paintover by Razorb. I understand…
I totally agree with this. I've had involuntary reflexes kick in when I least expect them to. Like a glass falling off the table, or catching something thrown my way when I was barely paying attention. Which is normally followed by "cool do it again" and whatever it was smacking me in the nuts or forehead. Cool party…
Great article. I enjoyed reading every bit of it. [ QUOTE ] The real innovations and possibilities BEGIN when we hit that brick wall of "ok, well we can simulate a perfect reality, now what?" [/ QUOTE ] Make it fun. Realism looks nice, but it isn't fun. That's why it's a novelty that dies quickly once you've seen it.…
kodde, we generally go through the moderation process at least once a day, and considering a lot of the admins/mods are in different time zones, we can catch these fairly early and sort them out without it being an issue. And considering there are a few of us, this process can occur multiple times a day. There are times…
if you're in QA, make sure the people who come before you in the pipeline, like content creators, work with you to build QA steps within the pipeline itself. That's why everyone should be familiar with the bug reporting tools. And just as sprunghunt said, try to use simple english or make sure everyone uses the same…
Well I do have an opinion about HRO(Hogeschool Rotterdam). It was pretty much the same as what these guys are talking about. I quit after 1 year, and figured I'd just get a part-time job and in my spare time, I'll just practice my art at home. With traditional art, everyone knows HOW to do it, you pick up a pencil/brush…
I think it would be more accurate to call it "humor" rather than "petty malice". Jokes have to be made at someone's expense. Why not John Romero's? Seriously though, who else is he going to attract other than egomaniacs when he starts asking for "supercore" talent? I think it would be great for Romero to develope a really…
Im gonna be a bum-bum and say, why did they pick dirt 2 to demo these features..... Who cares what fancy techniques are being used on the flag waving in the corner that i see for .5 second as I whizz past driving my car, seriously I wouldnt even notice the crowd if they had 20,000 poly each and every single one of them was…
it seems to me that when I (a canadian) wants to sell something over turbo squid, TS takes 50% of the money right off the top, and then sends me the rest. when it crosses the boarder, the US government takes 35% of my share as some.. kind of.... non-us citizen witholding tax? or some kind of crazy thing. i can't remember…
