Re: Looking for opinions from artists and technical folks alike on 3d software features
The frustrating part is that most of the maths for this stuff has already been worked out but it's languishing in scientific papers or PhD projects and never really finds its way out into the creative toolsets. Eg. Something as simple as generating median curves (or whatever the 3d equivalent is called) of a solid mesh… -
Re: Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
I suppose not, no. But just knowing that someone has come before me and was able to secure the kind of artistic/creative career that I want would be immensely helpful. I guess I just want to know that there's some kind of hope. I'm honestly loaded with regret. That I didn't start sooner, that I haven't worked harder. That… -
Re: windows 7 64bit workflow announces.
@Ben Apuna Thanks here as well for the MysticThumbs link. Works a treat here at the studio (Vista 64). Will try it on Win7x64 tonight. @Pior .. Ahh the "better" features of old software that get shoved under the carpet in upgrades. The one I miss most (to this day!) is Photoshops old way of minimising images. That was way… -
Re: HIgh Poly Corner Problem
Start out with 64 sided cylinder modify into desired shape add supporting loops remove loops around the sides, this causes a small bit of pinching but should be fine when you bake. Alternatively, add an extra set of edge loops, and then carry those control edges down the side a little further, you'll still get some… -

Re: Crysis 2
You seem too used to CoD gameplay. Crysis is a different animal, albeit same species. The ammo use is about the same per encounter, but there are different amounts of guys to take care of. CoD is more forgiving if you don't aim properly, whereas Crysis really encourages you to hit the head, especially late game. Gun… -
Re: Programers equivalent of polycount?
I slum it here on the polycount boards even though I've transitioned to doing much more coding than game art. I just like the community, and I get to see a lot of creativity from the gang here. Need that visual inspiration fix, even if you deal with ones and zeros most of the time. I'll throw in another recommendation for… -
Re: anime-ish style hitman smoking with a musket
hey kp, thanks for all the information you presented, I will be following this thread myself, and using your advice to benefit my projects-to-come as well. as a side note: 'god is in the details' - that really intrigued me. To elaborate for anyone else unsure of this quotes meaning: Some say “The devil is in the details,”… -
Re: Zeitgeist: Addendum
I really want to like the video... but it just gets so heavy handed in unrealistic ways all the time and it draws me out of the interesting points he made. It just seems a shame that these types of videos aren't made by more moderate people. spinny: just to reply to one of your thoughts, I for one know that I wouldnt be… -
Re: Seeing great art done in short times, do you get depressed?
I always look at the best stuff that the best artists do, and while I'm fairly sure that I just don't have that "creativity" that most truly great artists have, I think I can fairly objectively judge what I can and cannot do "technically" (like learning a technique to create a certain style or detail that aids a piece of…
