Doom, in high school about a year after it came out I learned you could change the game and make levels, which I did with a buddy of mine, we also did dial in multi-player. We had so much fun making custom maps and playing against each other. It was a pain in the ass there was no one around to ask we just had to figure it…
Having thought a bit more about this, I'm convinced that this is even worse than traditional spec work. Normally in spec work the buyer chooses his favorite and then pays only them, leaving everyone else unpaid, but the one person that does get paid presumably gets paid a reasonable amount. In this case however, even the…
This is copied from my post on CGTalk on this same topic. Thought I would share it with you guys here. Here's another great example of what is wrong with the game industry. From the most recent Game Informer cover story, the opening paragraphs of the Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks feature: "For three consecutive days, Ed…
Wow, would you guys like some cheese with that whine? I think I have some. It's called ass cheese, and there's a whole plate of it here for you. I made it fresh. First, the intent of the original change to US copyright law that allowed unregistered works to be instantly copyrighted was to give you more time to file a…
What kind of regular DVD holds 15gb? The highest capacity DVD for the 360 is a dual layer DVD which holds roughly 9gb. Anyways, 9gb is plenty for 99% of the games you'll see on PS3/Wii/360. So many people are mislead about their statements concerning storage capacity because they base all their figures around the previous…

Details: - You will be modeling low poly props that are related to combat vehicles such as Wheel, Engine, Machine Guns, Cannons,…
Hey all, So I was giving Child Of Eden a whirl the other day (if you haven't heard of it, check it out, it's basically REZ2 and plays great on a regular controller - no need for a Kinect) and got struck by the introduction sequence. Great video footage mixed with elegant motion graphics. [ame]…
I stopped thinking "is this generation.. braindead ?".. a long long time ago.. https://games.slashdot.org/story/24/02/19/1935235/how-one-developer-earned-over-300k-from-games-made-in-30-minutes Who buys this ??? And.. you do not even need AI for this..
Tits: No problem, it's actually pretty simple to make turntable gifs: Zbrush:* go to Movie->Modifiers * set your spinframes to something reasonable (probably 20-30 just to keep filesize down) * id set 'Recording FPS' and 'Playback FPS' to something like 5 (though you can change this in the gif) * then just hit turntable to…
30 days should be enough time to at least get a feel for it. It's a real shame they no longer offer the PLE. I'm gonna say something controversial here, but I know it's a view shared by some on here. What about downloading a pirate copy? I don't agree with piracy, and don't think it's right that anyone who makes money from…
