Re: Unlimited Detail
I'm sure some of you are sick of this topic by now so sorry for the bump, but here's a new interview that i don't think has been posted here yet, and Bruce is asked straight out about the most common doubt questions. Still no crystal clear answers but you might get something out of it.… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
That was really quite a headscratcher. I hope Valve can find a way to bring those animations in as a new Kinetic Gem. --- Another thought I had today has to do with the new socketing system: if Gem particles becomes available to the Workshop (as Kinetics eventually will), that'd open up new possibilities and hopefully,… -
Re: 3d Stylize game environment/asset. I need your critiques.
Well there is not much to comment here. I am not really fond of your smoke/effects cards, this is a technique used 10 years ago. As far as your models, they look fine for a stylized environment but they don't really stand out to me. The einvironment does not tell a story, it's just items placed here and there with simple… -
Re: Sketchbook: Meat House
Further development of one of the color thumb nails from above. The crystals kicked my arse. The scales kicked my arse. The lighting in photoshop kicked my arse - especially when I keep thinking how I'd just do it on paper. The thumb-nail producing process kicked my arse. In fact the only thing that didn't kick my arse are… -

Re: 3ds Max Plugin - IllusionCatalyst - IC.Shape
Hi Greg, you made it crystal clear, and yes it is definitely possible to achieve. I'm sorry, because sometimes I get dragged by the coding thoughts. I spoke about "Grow" because in current IC.Shape there is an alternate way to grow/shrink elements and the one for faces selects adjacent by edges only, so the behaviour is… -
Re: Too Many New Releases.
When I was still at Crystal Dynamics working on Project:Snowblind, we were supposed to go head to head with Halo2. Luckily, Eidos saw that the game could be much, much better with a few months of development, so we got an extension, which pushed us out to March. Didn't matter, we still bombed, as did a lot of other games… -
Re: Soft-Edged Low Poly Objects in Z-Brush? (Non-Quad Appearance)
The mask and the crystals are two different subtools already. And that's what I was ultimately going for, I wanted it subdivided without applying catmull-clark smoothing (low poly version with soft edges like the 2nd picture) but it ended up projecting the low polygons facets onto the high as a result. I may have to test… -
Re: Bottled Lightning Gun - WIP
Thanks for the feedback peoples! Tobbo: I was trying to stick within a limit of 5k-10k tris and right now it's sitting at 9k so there is some room for smoothing. I'm toying with the idea of making that back sphere a glowing crystal instead of another glass piece maybe as like a sort of power source for all the electricity?… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Jati Darmawan
Reply by C.K.Shepherd · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - VFX1st Effect. Your impacts are pretty fantastic. Hypnotic, really attractive. All the layers to them are great. I think this spell is awesome, but 1 thing I did notice that had me feeling a little let down was, I wish the initial fists weren't so small, and were more true to concept in size. 2nd Effect This is another pretty…
