I'm an ex-pat Kiwi, now a naturalised Australian citizen for many years after serving with the ADF (Australian Defence Force - Army) throughout the 1980's. Historically the country of my birth's colonial inception resembles that of the United States as I think the same can be said for those predominantly Anglo Saxon/Celtic…
Hi, I am having a problem with UV. So I was given a low poly obj. that already has a UV that I must keep. My task was to detail the fabric piece with texture (alphas, sculpting) in Zbrush, how I did not know the UV was already there so I used zremesher early on to make it easier to sculpt on. Since I changed the mesh, the…
I currently have a 95% finished environment concept which can be seen here: http://imgur.com/3ZQqyW8 (I'll provide a MUCH higher res PSD). It's of a map in our game development project. The original artist and I are having trouble getting the grass right so we thought hiring multiple people to try it would be a good idea.…
http://www.edge-online.co.uk/archives/2006/06/a_bugs_life.php I can definitely say I've seen both sides of the coin. At EA, we worked in what were refered to as tester "pits" for one game, and had my own private cubicle with a sliding glass door and full size desk for the next. Ironically, my interaction and general…

No that's not what I'm saying at all. What I mean is that more and more people doing say web surfing, office work, or even programming or similar tasks, who don't need all that computing power will instead go with more portable and cheaper solutions even though they are less powerful. Who really needs all that power aside…
Quite a bit of cool stuff here! I particularly liked the sequences with the ships at 1:25, the ocean effect was pretty dang cool. Some things to take in mind while editing your video, the first part, featuring the FPS game was incredibly cutty. As soon as I tried to soak in what effect you were showcasing, it cut away to…
@Rens: Rens! awesome to hear from you! it seems that it has been far too long pal! @Firebert: yeah its slick and totally free. when threewave shut down like 3 other uys used it as thier quick set up portfolio sites. it's not too bad ;D. thanks for the comments on the chicks! i still need a lot of work. @InProgress: do…
Sounds good man ! These promo pictures sure are hard to put together (especially near the end of a project, after so many hours spent on the models already!). On the plus side, they are great practice as they force us to work outside of our comfort zone. Everybody becomes better thanks to them. I think the choice of a real…
Modules Meshes So after finishing the wall meshes I started creating all the necassary meshes to fill the system with. This took a little while and it was really hard to find a good balance between a shanty worn down look and the colorful spirit I want the meshes to have. They should look like people are actually using…
