Re: When should you know that a mod idea is too big to be done?
From experience, if it takes you a long time to make just one level with lots of detail or you struggle with certain aspects of design then you'll simply fail to make a full blown mod. The second worst culprit is having all these wild ideas that require coding but being unable to do it yourself so you go around forums… -
Re: 3ds Max "Make Planar" tool.
Sounds unable to do perfectly/automatically in default Max, IMO. Usually, when want make amount of given vertices planar, there's 2 way to go. * Simply use Make Planar in editpoly command panel. (Only for world axis - x, y, z) * Use scale to 0% by object axis (usually is) Z.* This's more useful than the Make Planar… -
Re: Future Revolver
Looks cool, you should reconsider the changes that you've made from the original concept. The glaring issues I can see are the bottom of the grip is too thin and awkward (just under the final finger indent) the bottom of the trigger guard is too sharp and right angled (should be bevelled) and the hammer is too small. The… -
Re: Best MA study in Game Art and not have a ridiculous price
I'm far from doing a master since I still have 2 years of my BA to go, but I have actually been doing some research on this topic. There seems to be a distinct lack of affordable Game Art related courses, the UK has a few but none of the university websites have work samples, so that's not that great in my opinion. Taken… -
Re: Professionals, Please help. Going to the game and simulating world
Well thank you for replies, I really appreciate that. This really opened my eyes. @Eric Chadwick I do love the process of creating a software,though. According to THIS post, you've actually been a technical artist, would you please say was the salary really around 67K as most online resources say? And two more question… -
Re: Star destroyer (questions first, will get update later)
CookieKingHoi, I have seen some of your posts and I'm guessing that you're either a 9 year old or you're an adult that's trying to fuck with people on these forums. If it's the former, I suggest you read through the threads on this forum and try to get a sense of the etiquette and formalities that people use on here.… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
When you're unable to get a job, invent your own :) Start your own studio and risk it all. You'll just need a few million if you're going for AAA status. In realistic terms I like what the guy on page 1 said about: "If you wanna stay local, know the studios in your area, the work they do, and build your portfolio around… -
Re: Ways to improve the industry?
That sounds reasonable for lead and senior artist sometimes,entry level/regular role do not come close to that number. The average pay for a regular role as 3d/environment artist to be honest is around 45k not including indie. The viable methods of supporting one self and others as an artist is freelancing(Must have good… -
Re: Most Relevant Package for Engineering Visualisation
Because our road meshes are often quite complex and with many parts crossing over and under other parts, a custom collision mesh is the only way to go. I think this means I can't export as FBX - as far as I can see collisions only work properly when you export as an ASE file. Thus I lose the ability to automatically import… -
Re: Sketch Book: Cheese Cake
I thought i'd start by putting up some of my 3D work that has been created over the past year or so, it includes models, sculpting, texturing etc using 3DSmax and Photoshop CS5. Through my internship i've now learnt to model in maya too but I can't put any of that work up just yet :) Simple Chalkboard asset pack, included…
