Re: EA taking more steps to monopolise the game market
You can't blame EA for trying to get bigger and stronger? Hell yes, you can. EA should get bitch slapped for monopolizing the sports video game market, the same way MS is with their applications. There are some studios out there that do nothing but sports games, such as the ESPN titles. What happens to them now? What… -
Re: Environment art for next gen. console games?
Texture resolutions and polycounts shouldn't change much. We still cant add enough grass and trees to make something look good. I'd rather aim for more trees and vegetation (ala FarCry) and atmosphere rather than less with more polys. Depending on the game, environment assets will get normalmaps or not, specially for… -
Re: Armor Him! (Friendly competition)
[ QUOTE ] To keep it fairly even i've come up with a set of simple rules. 1) Keep it under 3050 polygons. (Armor+Base) 2) Total texture area no bigger than 1 512. You can mix it up into multiples if you like. (4x256x256 ect...) 3) No lowering the polycount of the base Assume the engine only loads the peices of armor on top… -
Re: [Closed] Info-graphic resumes, hit or miss?
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I wish I could go no-resume because I do agree 100% that portfolios are far far more important. Mine has actually never been where I want it to be, which is why I've sparsely ever applied for paid 3D Artist positions. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone has ever Not asked me for a resume,… -
Re: 3D Studies?
I'm guessing that this has been answered in many previous threads before. I don't really know what an "Art Grade" is, I'm going to say you mean a Degree. All companies will ask for some degree/experience even for starting positions. Then again and this is more specific to our industry, it is really hard to gauge someone's… -
Re: Bayonetta
Loving it more and more .... but the save system is horrible. Basically lost 2/3 of my evening session because I was assuming I went through autosave checkpoints but really didnt. Terrible! Edit : okay I got it. Manual saves bring you to the beginning of whatever chapter. Autosaves do happen, but they are different data.… -
Re: Do we really need to be Uv mapping in 2015?
UV Mapping is the part where I get to relax and listen to the soothing sound of the waterfalls as I meditate with the wind in my hair and my mouse at my fingertips. Aka I used to hate it but now I love it as my mental break. Automation tools for unwrapping is cool and all and I do use them, but I still sometimes like to do… -
Re: Linkies, a Indie iOS game
So I started working on the final world today, just blocking out the shapes I want as center piece. The idea is that through the game more and more mechanical objects will be added (as seen in world 1-4) and the final world is the "boss" that is poluting the poor yellow creatures (aka linkies) world. So for the final world… -
Re: EA Shut's Down Visceral Games
Seems strange I'm "defending" EA but there's a whole wack of "grey area" regarding all of this. This is EA Redwood Shores: Visceral Games merely occupied the top floor of the EARS building. Last time I was there, 3rd floor was EA Sports (Tiger Woods) 2nd was Maxis (Sims) 1st was EA Play One particular project being… -
Re: Capturing flash video from screen?
Realplayer is like Quicktime or Acrobat Reader, you don't want to install that bloat-, toolbar- or adware if there is already something better and opensource/ free out there. People having those installed are usually less informed about tools out there and usually the ones that don't notice the added toolbars in their…
