Re: My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching
The main problem with this method, or a similar method someone else posted a while ago(where they take the lowpoly and bevel edges to create the high, but keep the silhouette the same to avoid waviness) is that your edges will always look like jagged lowpoly models. When you get some slight waviness in there, it will at… -
Re: Importance of a degree in the gaming industry?
aajohnny: If the offer is good take it! Quick self history, I entered county college graphic design I was doing mods for a while than I got an offer from Epic. I took it, it was a contract gig for a year on Unreal Tournament 2004. I loved it. The contract ended I went back home. Went back to graphic design county college.… -
Re: Modeling Portfolio Feedback
Hey Mike The scorpion piece is cool. I do think your shots spend time looking at it from a distance. I'd be more interested in getting a closer look at all time and work you put into making it functional and seeing detail where it would really be. Might be cool to give more of a story to the detail now. I've noticed a lot… -
Re: Newb starting an environment for Blizzard's Contest
Hello there, guys! I spent the last week going crazy crazy trying to figure out a few things about terrain textures, more specifically WoW terrain textures (which are my study focus for this project). They seem to tile pretty easily sometimes, but then, as I tried to simulate that in my project, I couldn't get it to work.… -
Re: Low poly bruteshot
Microsoft OWNS Halo... Besides it makes ZERO difference, because unless you are licences to put it on iPhone, it won't get anywhere... In fact, I can 100% see this being shut down the second anybody gets wind of it at Microsoft. Remember Halo DS? That started out as a mod project for Goldeneye DS, and they shut that down,… -
Re: Laptop recommendations?
How important are size and weight? IMO a good laptop should be as portable as possible, otherwise what is the point? The Alienware 17 mentioned above is over 9 pounds, you can build a desktop workstation that doesn't weigh much more than that. I'm a big fan of ultrabooks in the 13-14" or so range, which are usually 3.5… -
Re: Things That Could Use Some Coherent Vid Tuts/Screencast Lectures
On what subject? :P I need some on how to use tree[d] or that other one - I cannot figure those tree programs out at all to get trees I consider usable. There are tutorials, guides, and help files, and I can't get through them, when if there was a 15 minute video with vocals telling me what they are doing, it would be a… -
Re: Are Developers shooting Themselves in the foot? (design wise)
Difficulty and challenge are one of the main problems I find in current gen games, so I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who is bothered by this. Recent games have been definitely trying to be more accessible and while I agree with the idea of opening up gaming to people who have no experience of playing games, I… -
Re: Updated Environment Reel, need critiques!
Things you need to do something about. Your website looks terrible with the big myspace banner, especially because it splits your work up. That's what makes it look terrible. I would make your thumbnails bigger and make your huge header a lot smaller. Your work is more important than the header. Right now it competes for… -
