    Star Wars: Outlaws

    What is a IOOTI? I have been a character artist for quite some time. Started on PS1 and N64 games. Making games is exponentially more complicated to make today and I have probably have seen it all. Just wanted to give my insight. From the point of view from someone that simply does his best...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    It's really hard to pull a female face and way harder to model a kid's face. Does not take much to make it feel off. From my experience everyone has tastes and everyone give you their feedback based on what they likes and as a modeller you can get lost easily. I have no idea about that...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    There is a huge price to pay to use an actor face with voice and performance in the game VS only using his performance with voice. Also it could be simply that the directors like the voice and energy of a person but not liking his face. Just like what they did with Peter Parker spiderman on...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    In Dark soul 1 the Balder Side Sword used pretty much Griffith's moveset. In Dark Soul 3 the lothric knight sword was visually pretty much Casca' sword. After reading this thread I just started a new character. No idea what to play. I'm open ro suggestions. In other soul games I played mostly...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Use the lion's claw ash of war. It's the move he use on Grunbeld when breaking his hammer. The Greatsword with that ash of war will allow you to destroy most things pretty quickly.

    Overwatch

    I do enjoy the game. I play with my teenager and we are having fun. Last DPS patch was really great IMO. There is not really any equivalent on the market. Not a fan of the design of the new character. Her kit is really fun to play. The opposite to the last character they released. Mauga's...

    LOL! There could be some pretty funny joke to do about this.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    My guess is that they were offered a Star Wars license. They gave license to multiple studios in the last few years. Tech side they don't have much to do. The change of setting would be enough.

    It was a fan remake. One of them is like my best friend IRL and last year I was able to bring him on my current project. I think they hoped Square would let them work on it as a tribute, like a fan art... but I think it was looking too good for square's taste.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's the Guts build. It's what I used on my first play after I realised Quality build were really bad in Elden Ring. It's really powerfull and straightforward. Nothing fancy and really fun.

    I will probably. I have been maining the basic long sword in every from Soft games with a pure quality build. I went pretty far in Elden Ring using that but I was getting tired of getting killed in 2-3 hits while I had to hit the boss or sub boss 30-40 times. I then switched to the GreatSword...

    Overwatch

    I think the issue was since OW1. Support could do as much damage as DPS and brought much more to the table. I like the change but some heroes need some tweaks. Roadhog and Mauga are in a pretty bad spot currently while Hamster is completely broken and pretty much unstoppable.(Thinking about...

    S9 trailer. Cosmic horror themes. The battle pass skin seems to fit the thematic. Moira get the Mythic skin. You can see the variation quickly and I think the one you barely see seems more interesting. Jade weapon and Cowboy Bebop colab hinted at the end. Lifeweaver with a biblical...

    Unreal is great at rendering, lighting, shadding but it has many weakness. It's really good when you ask it stuff it can do or already have, but it get really complicated when you try to add very specific features or ask for something.

    They used Unreal for prototype. The issue is that Unreal could not handle 100 players and they had a mobile game engine that could but didn't had any modern tech. You build assets and animation in Unreal then port it to another engine when it's ready. Also it gives you devent benchmark.

    Scaling it to fit does sound like they took ex: Pikachu and scaled him down 20% to put in the game and the twitter guy did a 20% scaling up to match him 1 to 1. I might be wrong. It's easy to sue a mod that deliberately use your models. I do think that the palworld case would take more time...

    Most videogame models are easy to extract but usually you can't do much without the high resolution model. Without it you won't get textures, normal maps etc... Pokemon on other hand are just smooth with colors. I don't even think that they use high resolution version to make thems. I could...

    It should always been like that... They forced a league on everyone. Been playing a lot this season with my kid. Always used DPS on ranking for practicing and this season I climbed from low plat to high diamond, near master by simply getting good at countering the new hero Mauga.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Agree. Sometime during crazy snowstorm here in Canada. I can't see more than 10-15 feets in front and barely see the road. The radar still see stuff and warn me about potential issues. I would do not put all my faith in it, could still fail like most electronic, but it's a very useful tool...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Didn't Tesla own most of the patents on how to build modern electric cars? I know they own thems but allow free of use. I know our pattern does not means anything in China but it probably help thems to get access the market of other countries.
