Re: Questions for environment artists
I love the creative aspects of the career, but hate the technical. Modeling and texturing are great. Scene assembly and lighting are amazingly fun. UV mapping? Optimizations? Debugging scenes in GPAD and PIX? Hate it. But, it's a part of the job. At it's best, it's the greatest job in the world. At it's worst, it's still… -
Re: Modern Warfare 3 hits $1 billion in 16 days - beating Avatar's record by one day
games are more expensive, and can be bought by everyone the first day if so needed, there's no seat-limitations or limited screenings. In the long run avatar has pulled more. People will always find creative ways to twist the numbers or to find the most optimal one for a particular scenario. For example, a quote from last… -
Re: Texel density per meter?
Hey all! I have a similar concern. I'm doing a test for a company and one of the technical/creative bounds is,"1 meter=512 k texture". I'm assuming the "k" is a typo,but if that makes any sense to anyone please clarify. Anyhow,I'm working in meters in maya. So in real world scale 2 meters in a the size of a door,so then by… -
Re: Full Metal Alchemist - Alphonse Elric
Honestly, it seems like a no-brainer now but some of these didnt even come across my mind. The cloth is definitely something i struggled alot with. Thanks for the feedback. Understood. I took some creative liberties here and there design wise, and referred to some other fan art for ideas aswell. Next project onwards, Im… -
Re: Divinity: Original Sin
Finished this beauty yesterday evening after 95 hours. Best game I have played in a long, long time and easily my Game of the Year. This game really requires you to think logically, explore and use all the tools at your disposal as there really is zero handholding, I loved it. The game really shines in co-op as well. I'm… -
Re: how to professionally texture terrain?
If it's iso, you might take a look at a modular system. That's what we're doing in our game, and it's using Unity. Ours is not an outdoor type game, but you should still be able to modularize your terrain and keep it looking pretty. Depends on how much variation you need, how many modular pieces you need to make. Renderhjs… -
Re: Degree?
I have studied at university of Hertfordshire in Hatfield Uk. I am pretty happy with the way they taught us there. You can choose between several courses like animation or games art. I chose animation but I work as modeller so I guess its not a big difference between these courses, maby just tiny one. The education is… -
Re: [MAYA] CREASE+ - Tool for Hard Surface
Hi WaYWO, Love the tool and really want to use it, I followed the document to install the script but when I load it up in maya (Via the hotkey editor) and start creating some polygon shapes I get this error when performing any action within maya (panning zooming clicking) // Error: file: D: /Creative Software 2/Maya… -
Re: Trying Blender
Blender is a different thing for everybody. Some use it in a pipeline with other programs, cause it sometimes does tasks better/faster, like unwrapping. Some use it for everything, for a multitude of reasons. Some only play with it (in particular, it's particles/physics capabilities.) Itll be up to you to find how it fits… -
Re: Stafford University Body Modeling Zeluron
Why the hell would they mark you on the base mesh before taking it into zbrush? I can understand the technical side, all quad meshes, evenly spaced are ZB friendly, blah blah blah. However, at this stage its all about the art and creativity, the technical stuff can come later and shouldn't get in the way of getting your…
