Re: Carmack leaves Id
I have a somewhat different point of view on this one; in my opinion, Carmack has two main strengths. One is to find new and sometimes quite disruptive rendering technology. He usually gets these ideas by absorbing an incredible amount of information from seriously varied sources; from siggraph research papers to airplane… -
Re: Ysalex new portfolio construction thread
Not sure how to take it, but okay. Thanks for doing those mock-ups, but honestly I am not trying to insert anything too over-designed into things. I kind of like the pink/grey triangle because it's simple, it doesn't really have to mean anything. I have considered putting my initials into it, or perhaps adding something to… -
Re: Art steps you hate in your Pipeline.
Similar to a poly reducer, but recovers the original subd cage, hopefully keeping the UVs, so I can re-subd to whatever density is needed. Also so I can use the cage as a lowpoly model for other uses (realtime viewer, physics proxy, viewport proxy, LODs, etc.). TurboReverse has a nice option (when it actually works!) to… -
Re: Engine Turntables and Tools?
I see a few options: 1.) DX realtime shader in Maya or Max's viewport 2.) Marmoset Toolbag: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=61346 3.) any popular game engine (Crysis, Source, Unreal 3) whereas Crysis seems to be very easy for WYSIWYG realtime feedback turntables are something very classy from the film/ render… -
Re: What's it like working with CAD software/jobs compared to modeling/entertainment in 3dsmax/Maya?
In comparison to learning Max/Maya, CAD programs are relatively simple. I learned both AutoCad and Fusion360 in a weekend each. Now I'm not saying I learned every single tool or feature but enough to be proficient to complete projects. Fusion 360 is a great solids/nurbs modeler and is free. I would say it's more important… -
Re: Sketchbook: darko123
Working on a new project, a small environment to work on both game art and pre rendered skills, was thinking of making all the props to work with realtime environments but render it with highpoly ground where I'll try to play with maya's grass. And put a ocean in the background. This way i can present the seperate objects… -
Re: To Quadro or not?!
I havn't it even activated hehe. I like this aliased look in my viewport for some reasons. You leveldesign argument is a really good one because all my viszualisations are based on a realtime engine. But I didn't took it into consideration. Then I will head for a GTX285 with 2048MB VRam for best performance and sell my… -
Alexes Lee Portfolio
Evening everyone. I have managed to pull up a showreel together hoping to get a environment internship or junior position in the games industry. I would love some feedback to help improve my showreel. :) I am currently in the process of modelling my next environment which will be posted up online soon. Presently none of my… -
Re: [UDK] The Apex Observatory
Oh that's very clever, I'll give that a go! I think I have an idea how to do that through a material too... Well it's not too late to do that. :) That's a very good idea, I didn't consider it because I intend to show a pan around of the building in my portfolio, but it makes a lot of sense that i should be visible for the… -
Re: Minienvs and studies sketchbook
Thanks, i had lots of fun with enlighten .. at 1st , i wasn't too happy to have to rebalance the multipliers for gi at every slight change of setup (in this scene it went very quick from super dark and contrasted to washed out ) But once accepted that , i'm finding it a great way to tweak the mood and look (i mean the 2…
