    Hey Guys,

    first year of school is closing in and since it´s been your fault i ended up studying @ DAE in Belgium, you deserve an update.

    It´s been a great time for me, improved so much on so many things, became a lot more productive and made some cool hitchhike experiences.


    picture time!

    I´m one of the few who did good with Art and Programming.

    Obviously, just 3% of all students passed all courses for the first semester and I was one of them.

    Feels good.. and weird, the exams for this semester turned out a lot better, so I´m sure I´ll have no retakes again.


    Since I´m focusing a lot more on 2D right now and I miss a lot of people I´ll drop out for now, try to get some small jobs and start studying Illustration in Hamburg 2015. Really need to get away from computerz for a while.

    Cool thing is, i´ll always have the option to come back here and pick up 2nd year.


    Thank you Core for deep-lifechanging-experience

    maybe this is the problem?

    Quote

    Filtering borders Texture filtering will blend nearby pixels together even if some of of them are entirely transparent. This can create unwanted outlining effects if sudden drop-offs in alpha coincide with drop-offs in colour, which may well happen when the alpha channel reaches zero and you stop being able to see the pixels.

    To resolve this issue, simply blend the colours of your image slightly beyond where the alpha channel drops off. This can be easily achieved by duplicating the translucent layer and smudging it into the relevant areas.

    -make a plane

    -texture it with your tile texture

    -cut out some rectangles

    -extrude those down and give them a different texture

    -tadaa!

    Cuplacakes I like the 2nd screen a lot, but the weird shadow in the lower right really bugs me.

    Sentura, you're totally right, overworked it a bit to establish the volcano as main focus.

    Lot of useful stuff in here..thanks!

    I've applied for an internship at Deck13 and if that doesn't work out i've applied for a BA in Computervisualistic and Design in a regional german town.

    Plan C would be DAE in Belgium, really looks quite nice and not too expensive.

    I don't know why but i never heard of the Uni in Darmstadt until one week after the application process closed for this year:/

    I was aware that i'd still rely on self teaching a lot, the main thing for me was the creative community and general city/student life instead of farmers and cow shit... not that i don't like the countryside but its not very supportive for an artistic education.
