That's just how it is for awhile. When you're working with smaller clients, indie clients, clueless clients, and especially kickstarter clients, they are going to haggle with you over cents. They have this power because there are armies of middling-level freelancers in countries that have a lower COL. Once you graduate to…
liking those ground textures. One thing to keep in mind with putting it in the engine and keeping the wet feel. Specular is based entirely off the lighting in the scene. If you don't have light bouncing off the surface into the camera, or reflectivity (cube map or otherwise) it'll be hard to make it look wet... and that's…
Hi everyone! We’re a group of final-year students from the University of Hertfordshire. We’re creating a sci-fi cinematic trailer for our game SHIFT in Unreal Engine, and we’ll be documenting our process and progress in this thread with regular updates.

The colossal roots piercing metal walls, the vines consuming and claiming spots suggest otherwise. Whether this empire or kingdom moved on or was taken out by force,…

A 16 bit integer has a maximum of 65536. each additional bit increases the range of values by one power of 2. Since our normal textures have 8 bits per channel, using one channel for the lower 8 bits and a second…
Well, I tried taking out the RAM, Processor and video card. The motherboard LED is still lit when the mains is turned on, but pressing the power button has no effect. Maybe the switch in the power button is fucked? Heh. Maybe the power supply is just screwed enough for it not to provide enough power to boot up, but enough…
Hey guys, So ive been working on the game for around 1.5+ years so far and we are now on a point where it is somewhat presentable. The game is a unforgiving dungeon crawler or rogue-like shooter, everything is very powerful and the machines are relentless. Autocannon turrets rip you to shreds if you get hit, dodge mortars…
Hey! So I'm looking for manga. For inspiration. My memories of it are blurry. I remember that there were mutants in it. People mutants, with powers. I think it started with a guy that was hired to kill some mutants, and he was also a mutant that professionally kills other mutants. He was chasing them because they used…
