Re: Bill Maher: Stand up for the 70% of Americans who aren't crazy
I agree that it's sad that more people will watch, and get crazy over a pro sports game then get out and attempt to create awareness on some issue, or create pressure on politicians to actually enact some real change. However I think it's something that will only get worse. We live in a culture of distraction and immediate… -
Re: level art Art test
I second the comment about the sand bags, They look like they aren't effected by gravity. Instead of making one bag and using it to build a wall, you could probably use less polys and build a solid wall with strategic cuts in the silhouette to mimic sand bags. I think you'll have to add geometry to the bags to get the… -
Re: creepy HL2 level
It definately needs to be on a hill. The ground is FAR too flat and plain. having it sitting on top of a hill, or on the side of it, should help tremendously. Just, the ground needs alot more bumpiness and variety. Also, the forest need to look like it's creaped up right into the house. Like nobody's done any landscaping… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
I have actually tried the smaller developer approach and I was surprised to find that many of the attitudes I find unworkable in bigger companies are just as unworkable in smaller companies. Being frank for a moment, it all comes to peoples personalities right? Those in charge of design, whether qualified or not, are… -
Re: This hydrant look familiar to anyone? :P
I would definitely have modelled a highpoly mesh and baked that down to get a normal-map. For an asset as small and simple as this, for a current-gen console game, you'd be mad not to render down from highpoly. It just gives you a better end result. You could also stand to optimise the lowpoly a bit more - as has been… -
Re: [Portfolio] Wiktor
Yeah absoloutely Disting, they do, but you set yourself up as an environment artist with your thread title and i was left wondering where the environments where. Im not saying i was dissapointed with the work you presented because it was good but i was expecting more environment stuff, at least a full environment with all… -
Re: Online Gaming: Most Satisfying Kill
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory A bunch of the enemy team was holding down our team in a bottleneck area, so I go for a long flanking maneuver. I'm hoofing along, and get in one little firefight, then round a corner. I pull up to a stop, and look to my left and right. I had apparently reached the campers' choke point, as… -
Re: Running during the winter, what gear to use
here is something to consider, I remember that during my winter runs I had to prepare myself pretty well. - Im not sure if you guys mean by waterproof as windbreaker gear. I suggest windbreakers because they (duh) keep the wind from dropping your body temperature below what it needs to be (to start out with anyways, after… -
My Very First Sculpted Head
I've always dreaded learning to sculpt. It always seemed like something that'd be beyond me. I'd try out a demo for some program, watch a tutorial on some simple thing like how to make a lumpy rock, and would totally suck at it. "I can't even make a rock", I'd think. Tears would be shed, and egos would be wounded.… -
maya 2008 cut tool is infuriating
hey guys, So my recent project I am on is using maya 2008 and I am finding whatever they did to the cut tool (split polygon) has turned it into a frustrating sack of shit. if you turn off edge snapping so you can say cut geometry based on a texture over 50% of the time when you go to end the cut, it just disappears.…
