Re: Too much of an artist - Not enough employee?
well i would think that an exceptional art director with very strong traditional skills and strong technical understanding would be a great start. but that is rarely found. even if the qualified person is there to lead other artists, they are miss-managed by the business itself to care less about the art and more about… -
Re: #1ReasonWhy Movement
I think this movement is justified. The game development and publishing industries do have a "boys-club" mentality, and the demographics for employment in them bear this out. If game development wants to be taken seriously as a venue for creative expression, it needs a broader representation of individual perspectives. And… -
Re: "Your portfolio lacks design" - A little help about this?
Thanks JacqueCoi, it's really kind of you to come, as experienced, offer advice to someone just starting out their portfolio. What you say makes sense, and I'm already trying to implement it in my future work. Sometimes I just get overloaded with different information and myths, some say: show more sketches and thumbs… -
Re: Jessica Jones
I can agree it handles those concepts well, and I really can't think of anything that's bothered to do that through an entire season. It's probably what I like the most is how that's handled in a way I haven't seen before. But I can't deny it's kinda got some unnecessary "meh" stuff, I personally don't think it's set up… -
Re: Getting off of a Skill Plateau
Okay, So when somebody reaches a "skill plateau" I assume that they have exhausted all creative, skill base, and technical know how they have. Sort of painting themselves into a corner because they have reached a certain peek of self awareness and are hungry for new ideas to balance themselves back out. So taking a quick… -
Re: Is Polycount under attack?
Hm, first post approval is sort of a pain, and can turn me off to a forum fast... So, something like, on registering, they ask a silly easy question (like "What is 1 + 1? (Just type 2 in the box below")) wouldn't work, because lots of bots are real humans? Do they get paid for what they do? And by who? It seems super odd… -
Re: Occlusion in diffuse
Well, ambient lighting in PBR is almost never a single ambient color. That's an old outdated method, it looks very flat, unconvincing as lighting. Try it and see! Anyone who's a "big time master" should know this haha. Sorry, your nick in caps always cracks me up. I think most PBR renderers use IBL for ambient, whether a… -
Re: How did you get into the industry?
No You did not sir. Everyone including yourself had some sort of link to the outside world. The place where I work are random and people that I meet, most of them do not welcome different breeds than their own and they certainly are not game-oholics or have creative passions like we do. I am looking for a specific example.… -
Re: Do you think id be able to compose for games?
I used to compose for games before moving over to 3D. If you like it go for it, sometimes you need a break from 3D. Put up your songs on freesound.org awesome creative commons sharing site, a few of my sound effects have reached over 10k downloads, its great exposure. If working for nothing doesn't tickle your nut sack,… -
Re: getting fat doing games art
Ruz: be careful of starvation diets like that. The lack of regular food may make your body more succeltsble to storing fat when you do eat, as the metabolic message you're sending is that food is somewhat scarce. Also include some source of protien with your meals. Without adequate protein the weight you loose may be…
