Re: Character Transformation
Couple of examples from Dead Space. The second one's clearly just a full model swap, but the first one still uses morphs, particles, and flickering lights to hide any jarring transitions.

Re: Joe Biden meets with game industry representatives. Your thoughts?
Fantasizing is nice but a gun owner is not a potential revolutionary, at most you are a potential Ruby Ridge or Waco - the conservative drive to have a strong military kind of negates the "fighting tyranny" clause of gun ownership; unless we get invaded by weaponized paper targets. I will gladly let you keep our guns if we… -
Re: Game design (and art) and audience compitency

Re: Lava bubble popping effect

Re: Getting that first job

I am having trouble wrapping my head around getting the joystick manipulator to control my asymmetrical blend shapes. I want for instance to set it up so that the positive and negative values of the manipulator are wired to 4 different… -
(Solved) Environment Props Polygon Estimate
Hi, So I am making a management/builder sim that involves interior design, eg. many unique props, like The Sims series. One thing I am still not quite sure is how many polygon to spend on my unique props. I want to share my current line of thoughts: please let me know whether they make sense and whether I made any obvious… -
Re: How can i be sure a 3d character i make has value?
what exactly is the question targeted at? it sorta feels like its targeted at actually selling assets in an asset store type of situation? because otherwise, everything you do will eventually collect digital dust. the world is moving along, so do technical requirements, styletrends etc. if you work employed in a company…
