Video games are not art because the end product is not art: that is all.

Because tf2 is very addictif

My first post on mapcore I have been mapping for 4 years and thought i'd register here. This is for a (horror) source mod. Some heavy (ingame) CC'ing:[Blocked Image: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/4982/vistation13370135.jpg]

All WIP ofcourse. Lighting must get better and the windows need models.

I have already seen your map on Interloppers, and I really love it, exactly the type of atmosphere I like if i could give you some advice for the lighting, add some different light colors to make big contrast (i.e. a baril with fire or an emmergency red light) but not many.

Check this one : http://www.mapzoneeditor.com/

It's a free tileable generic texture editor i use it and it's very intereting.

If it's like GTA 4, PC version will probably comme after with a lot of bugs.

yes for the checker.

Mhhh I'm not far from Werchter and there is a lot of band I like but.... the price wtf !!

Wow the second is a long hair festival

A new album for me :

I'm thinking of buying The Orange Box, since I still have yet to play anything past HL2.. I was going to get the inevitable trilogy with all 3 episodes in but meh.. doesn't look like Ep3 will be out before Xmas... should I indulge?

The orange box is a condensed of awesomeness, the HL2 trilogy is cool, you'll have for 15 hours of game. Portal is a great experience (and if you like it, you should play portal prelude too) and TF2 is one of the best multiplayer game I've ever played (and the game I play the most)

You can use a powerpoint viewer.

anyway, that's interesting

Did you forget the second one in 3D ? That's cool anyway.

here is a house for school, 5000 tris, generic textures and normal map :

And when you see bic ball's avatar, it's probably his most important day of the year

Rofl ! it's so hard to understand me ? Ok i'll see tomorow, now it's time to bed

i'm actually in a school in belgium which give after 3 years, a degree in computer graphic (the school is not only for video games) but yeah diploma it's cool but our teecher said that have a portfolio, something good to show and have contact in the industry is more and more important. That is why there is a trainig period of 3 months in third year and a very important work, the creation of a demo game from A to Z with a group of work.

-----------------------------------------

Guys, I want to know what you have to say about different trades and specializations in video game.

Being in a school which shows a little of all the tricks of video game creation, it's preferable to choose which job you want to move during the third year, I'm currently in second year and even if I had the idea of going to the level design in arriving at the school, see a little every area of business has allowed me to open myself to other career opportunities.

But when can we claim to be a level designer or a 3D Artist, animator, character designer, etc ... ? At what point should we insist to be the most possible serious? Which projects should be put forward in its portfolio ?

Another point otherwise, before this studies, I obtained a degree in mechanical engineering and industrial automation. I did that when I didn't like much but throw in the Video game industry without once had a decent computer and without knowing schools and possibilities was not very serious. This diploma does not give me much but I am still fairly easy to know how the mechanical systems works.

I should take this degree to specialize in modeling which asking engineering knowledge (weapons, vehicles, large structures ...) to have more leverage in future negotiations?

(i know my langage is probably poor )

Otherwise I don't think I can provide assistance in this topic now but if I can just help future students to won't end up like half of my class, ie, having no chance to get at school out or one day a job in the video game, ask me
