Re: Horror gameplay perspective
Long time since I've seen this thread but I'm back into it. I've managed to convince my teacher that I can do a research+creative response project on the design of horror video games, so anyone, feel free to post your thoughts related to horror games and what gets you scared. I've found a lot of stuff on the uncanny valley… -
Re: Halo 5 environment art
hey guys... im really wowed by your kind comments on the debris pieces :) THANK YOU.. regarding the process - its all hand sculpted,for the small details(dents,chips,cracks) did some custom alphas - had to follow the concept arts well for the final ingame meshes, 343 used various tiling textures for really fine details -… -
Re: Piracy...
And this entire bullshit discussion in value perplexes me. Year on year, we get more and more amazing games well worth their price. Ok, so maybe cheapasses are going to argue that it's still not enough value. But keep in mind on how many shitty films, mediocre meals and crappy products we consume year on year with not so… -
Re: a gigantic sigh. This industry is destroying my well being.
Yeah, artistic skill, and useful production skills like getting clean bakes etc. Far too few people actually know how to do clean bakes, or cleanly define materials with texturing etc. I don't even really specifically look for people who are very talented artistically, or very creative, but people who know how to execute… -
Re: Newbie looking for feedback
Looks like you have a good understanding of the basics - colour, anatomy and composition. What I would suggest you work on is your ability to "polish" pieces, which I know sounds vague and I will try and explain it best I can. In some of your pictures at the top you could maybe add a background (even a vague suggestion) as… -
Re: Answered: Confused with Minimum requirement.
It appears that CS3 is a mistake on our part. I'll get the site updated to reflect that. Thanks for pointing it out! Regarding NDO - this is located on our site - I'll see if we can get the documentation updated a bit for newer users. :) PROS/CONS - MULTI-NORMAL & SINGLE-NORMAL MULTI-NORMAL + Paint directly with normal… -
Re: Portfolio review - opinions appreciated!
Right now I feel like you're behind the rest of the future juniors or interns that have been showcasing their work here on polycount. You need to step it up, skill-wise and creatively. An Angel-statue is cool and all but only when put into context by an environment. You need to focus on something more interesting than that… -
Re: We should not get paid for making games, it's art after all...
Are you serious? wake up man. The guy who wrote the article is basically saying that because it's a fun thing to do, you don't get to complain about poor working conditions. That is bullshit! First of all... If I spend 10+ years becoming a badass artist then first of all... you can be damn well sure that I want to be paid… -
Re: "Just keep doing what you're doing!"
If your tired of design work and stressed do like Makkon said and take a break. You can easily get burned out if you are always doing the same thing. You need a variety of experiences to fuel your creativity. If your not tired of design work but really are just feeling like it's all for naught then you may need to just… -
Re: I want to be a Enviroment Artist
if you like the assembling part, this is usually the job of world builders - in some studios env artists do both, in others they're paired up with a world builder. I'm not sure how easy it is to train as world-builder though if you don't have assets ready at hand. Both 3d apps and engine editors (e.g. UDK) can be very…
