'Polycount Pack' 11th Hour (UPDATED)
You know what I've loved the most about this contest? It was a reminder of the old days, where Polycount was based around the PPM - plugin player model - for the Quakes and Half-Life. It's been a nice ride and I hope we can do it again some time. And with that, we now have just under 11 hours left in the Team Fortress 2:… -
Re: [UDK] CORRIDOR_01
@ Razorb: Ah yes, good call! i have added some subtle air vents at the top/bottom of the panels. AS not to distract from the clean forms. But letting out some of that heat! My choice to jump over to CE3 - was mainly to see what i could push out of my laptop rig. And the quality vs ease of use comparing to UDK. Im still… -
Re: Transition from programmer to 3D artist
I was straight out of school "working on my portfolio", when I got hired for my first industry job. My skill level at the time was pitiful compared to the student work I see nowadays. I could model, layout UVs, paint textures, and animate all at a basic level. This didn't matter so much though as the company I was working… -
Re: Advice regarding relevant educational background for 3d environment artists?
Based on my learning experience, it's also rather difficult (in self-study) to set goals that are easy enough to reach, but difficult enough to help you to grow. I mean, until you've done the stuff, you don't really know what reasonable work and deadlines are, so, at first, it's easy to be demotivated either by being… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
I think most of the "big improvements" in the next console cycle with tech like UE4 will be stuff like better shaders capable of more instructions, higher draw call limits, better fx, much better lighting, plus all the fancy DX11 stuff in limited use nowadays like Tesselation. Most of that we can already see in Samaritan.… -
Re: Max - Simple Material UI edit?
The only way to do this is a "scripted plugin" in Maxscript, like my shader. It's about as difficult as it gets in terms of maxscript, hence why our code can be a bit flaky and could do with an overhaul (both me and RJ became much more experienced with maxscript after releasing it). Also, we put so much effort into this… -
Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
The problem of the workshop mainly due to item saturation in the economy. Valve won't add too many items if there are already too many items in the market. However their current system is flawed and they're just prolonging its crash by selling organization/team items (mainly). Why does Valve currently importing sets? maybe… -
Re: If you could change 3dsmax...
shift click to duplicate in place got removed in max 2008. max 9 was the last version that had that. bring back the old shift click behavior but add options to it so it doesn't bring up a dialogue every time you do it, and you can also specify how far you need to move something before the duplicate happens for those that… -
Re: How to find a job in CG industry for a newcomer?
It sounds like your parents would be okay supporting you while you learn the ropes for your career - I would cherish this and lean on your parents while you still can. There will come a time when you wish you could have more hours in the day just to learn and not have to work a job. Since you have that kind of freedom now… -
Re: Uncharted 2
played it pretty late last night, and yes, it IS that beautiful. Nepal is absolutely gorgeous... hands down... stunning. the story is turning out to be really great and is shaping up nicely. if you haven't played the first one, then you really have to in order to know what is going on in the second storyline wise. the…
