Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
http://kotaku.com/5610985/how-a-bad-degree-robbed-a-stripper-of-her-video-game-love Watch the video. She shows her portfolio and actually makes a very valid case. The main reasoning being that the work she had done netted her an 'A' in every class when clearly it sucks. Yes, she could've been extremely proactive and gone… -
Re: If a potential client owns a $20K 3D printer....
An entry level printer is a couple thousand, a 20k printer is nice but by no means a super serious pro printer. Nobody gets into business to do a thing one time. I think Randy in cryptomonicon said that. The guy didn't buy a 20k printer for this one job, he obviously plans to use the thing over and over again. If you… -
Re: "The Only Thing I Know..." Let's talk about being a gamer, life balance, and the biz.
The video was excellent as far as artistic merrit and stuff goes, but the message I found worthless. First of all, MMOs are evil games, and people who don't realize that and wreck their marriages and/or lives playing them are as much to blame for their problems as heroin addicts. To diss gaming in it's entirety based on… -
Re: Maya or Max for Environmental Modeling
Both have their strengths but i prefer Maya. For example in Max you can UV things faster but in Maya you can Model things much faster. In Maya you have the most important things right by your hand through the Hotbox or through Shift, Ctrl right-click contex menus. To say Maya could only be used efficiently for characters… -
Re: Time Management (Self learners + College students only)
Well....its Bachelors in Software engineering (since now is the best time for me to return to college and complete what my initial goal is) How it is related to game dev? The Programming part and also since my college is a Microsoft NUT they do have an elective of game development which is so not related to the game… -
Re: Question: What makes a environment vivid/living/interesting
In general, modular modeling makes for very boring environments. You have to expand beyond that to create something interesting. I'm not saying don't do modular, I'm saying thats not the answer to your question. what makes an environment interesting: tell a story. tell several stories. anything that you can convey to the… -
Re: Bungie Teaser Trailer
Look at the core concept and story of Oni and you'll get what I'm talking about. Sure its a big stretch to say Oni came from Halo but thats not what I'm saying. You mean to tell me that with Oni and Marathon floating around Halo was a total departure from anything they had ever done? It was a refinement of everything they… -
Re: Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
piracy is good for testing demo-less games, or games with short demos in some ways / cases, it nets more customers. hell, i'll openly admit that i downloaded call of duty 4 for the PC, and then bought the thing for my 360 cuz i saw it to be worth it. games that i download and end up not buying are the ones i never bother… -
Re: Some Art Nouveau WIP (now with boobs)
nice work man. i really enjoyed your art nouveau test posted previously, and would love to see this done up properly. most of my crits will be apparent from the doodle i just upped, but i'll point some of them out anyway: i think form wise she's quite feminine and close to the mucha ideal of beauty, but the pose and the… -
Re: Game Design: Schools and Courses?
Traditional art talent translates to whatever programs you're using. Technical knowledge will only get you so far and it is where most of the non artistic school grads are at. Bucking for an game artist position with hardly any artistic talent. Most courses will give you a nuts and bolts how to and leave you to discover on…
