Re: What is typically more expensive?
Like most optimization and performance comparisons, that question is almost impossible to answer. It depends highly on the exact situation, the rest of your game, and which bottleneck you'll hit first. The two techniques use different aspects of your GPU. With that said, if you're trying to compare them from the standpoint… -
Re: Unreal lightmass?
CCP games is integrating it, but into their own engine so I can't really tell about any performance in Ue3, but it's pretty fast (on very 'current gen' kind of configurations). Enlighten is not yet 'radiosity on the fly', it still has a notion of static vs dynamic. The pre process is pretty quick tough. What's especially… -
Re: Epic's "Paragon"
Overwatch is no moba shooter, its a usual (class based) FPS, there are no moba elements in it. Gigantic on the other hand is a moba shooter. It features many of the classical moba elements. But yes it seems to be one of the many class based FPS which are currently in development for some reason, not that I dislike it.… -
Re: Pre-rendered: Retro Sci-fi
I managed to watch your class on the last day before the master classes ended, and man am I glad I did! I learned a ton from it. :) Being a character and hard surface modeler at a studio that really doesn't do much environment modeling (space games!), it was really great to see the process for environment creation. I do… -
Re: [Portfolio] Alexandra Jackson
I agree with JMYoung; horizontal scroll needs to go. It's non-standard and can be very annoying. As for the actual content, there are a few things I noticed: - You're using very high res textures, but not taking advantage of that by making them detailed enough that it seems like the characters need textures that large.… -
Re: On hiring freelancers
Here is the thing that a lot of people who don't work in the games industry know... That actual amount of time it takes to create various game assets. You say 2,000 is a lot for a character, well, what if that character takes you a month of working 60 hours per week. That's only 8.33 cents per hour. Where I live, people… -
Re: Ways to make low poly frayed wire ends?
Yeah, just going to mention that again. Alpha planes likely won't work well, no matter how good the alpha itself is. The "normal maps don't work with VR" thing is commonly stated, it's not that this is wrong, but rather incomplete advice. Normal maps certainly do work with VR, but you can't use normal maps to fake geometry… -
Re: How you learned to paint?
no offense, but I daresay that's a load of shit. Yes, I think the 10000 hours of time is a good rule/estimate, but it's not simply doing. you need to analyze what you are doing actively, pay attention to how you're doing it, look for ways to improve or get clearer to what you're shooting for. It's the same reason I get… -

Re: Avatar trailer
exactly, I don't go see many movies in the theaters at all I just don't see all the 'hype' showing anything that I'm interested in. The 3D may blow me the fuck out of my seat but I don't think sitting in a theater with glasses on is next gen. It just doesn't appeal to me. I hate crowds, and why not wait a couple months let…
