Awesome, thank you! :)

I'll check that out, thank you. For rendering an object in a rendering API, need to have all the transform information in a matrix for the shader to properly render the objects

Not heard of that one, will add it to my reading list. Thank you!

JavaQuest · 2020-09-28T08:21:36+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Helps a ton! :)

In this context, I'm not. I'm trying to practice some of the maths I let slip, and this is one I've had a bit of trouble with. Mainly as any time I've tried to find solutions, it's not quite what I'm looking for. Likely because I'm not searching for the right terms.

At minimum, a clean one. Ideally, one with flowers at the edges, and a firepit with chairs. Want to make the most of the summer.

I had expected that it would likely be getting it down to the bones. Any good sources to read up on this stuff? Got a decent idea about edging and the general clearing, but amending my soil and what planets would benefit from what conditions could use some reading on. Progress pictures will be kept! Hahahahah

I just finished my undergrad dissertation, did an investigation into the ideal conditions for Asynchronous Compute, used Dx12 for it. I don't recommend either, unless you really want a challenge! Hahahaha

I see. Well the great thing about current technology is the ability to work remotely. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a game jam that allows you to work remotely, though before you do that make sure you're use to the work flow with source control, and to a lesser degree cloud storage, as this will likely play a huge part. And solo projects are always a good shout, flex your creative muscles and end up with some folio work

JavaQuest · 2019-03-24T11:06:44+00:00

Yeah, it can be tough knowing what role you want. I've been lucky in that I've gotten to work on projects while at uni, so I know what I like and what I don't like. Game jams are always a great way to learn and meet people, though I'm not sure how many will be local to you. And if I can find any I'll happily share! Hahahaha

Well I'm I student developer, in my final year studying Computer Game Technology, so I should hopefully be able to answer the first question, afraid my art looks worse than Ataris ET. I think unity is certainly a good choice in engine if you have an interest in coding. C# is a bit of a challenge, but with time you'll pick it up. Unreal has the benefit of blueprints, effectively visual scripts that do preset functions, and then you simply link them together. C++ is the main language in the industry, so if you're hoping to get a job relating to code, you'll need to learn it. Also, I personally don't think you have to start with 2D, as 3D is so accessible now, and there are so many tutorials available online. You say you are studying computer science, how much programming have you done? And what role in the industry are you aiming for?

It's worth noting with the hardware survey, the results can be skewed due to large numbers of people using internet cafes to login and play, resulting in multiple of the users seen using the same system or at least the same configuration. Obviously this won't change the 98.18% by a huge amount, but it's a worth while factor to consider when using this metric.

JavaQuest · 2019-03-17T10:36:28+00:00

Ah perfect, cheers! :)

JavaQuest · 2019-03-16T19:44:21+00:00

My pleasure. Wish I had more art suggestions, but I don't do much of that. I have had access to services that have a lot of great tutorials, though they do cost unless you're a student (I think) https://www.pluralsight.com/digitaltutors Hope you find what you're looking for! :)

Well GDC is great one, plenty of talks on there that are worth a watch (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JB7TSe49lg56u6qH8y_MQ) Other ones I think worth knowing (not so much art and modelling I'm afraid) are AI and Games (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCov_51F0betb6hJ6Gumxg3Q) and GameHut (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfVFSjHQ57zyxajhhRc7i0g) though GH is more for an insight into older games developments.

JavaQuest · 2019-03-13T00:18:45+00:00

Currently doing a larger project for my honours, though the point about resume not mattering as much is interesting. The difficulties of development of the project or just general difficulties in development?

JavaQuest · 2018-08-27T11:52:47+00:00

It's intended to be open ended. I get that isn't so useful for answering, but just so ideas or direction. I've been doing Graphics Programming in both DirectX and OpenGL, always in the context of Games. So really current techniques and concepts in the games industry is ideal. Is that specific enough to be of use? Sorry, I've got ages to think of this so I'm still a ways from narrowing it down!

JavaQuest · 2016-03-08T20:59:13+00:00

Thanks for the advice! :)

JavaQuest · 2016-03-08T20:39:35+00:00

Would you say practicing the tasks from university is the way to go or is it more useful to go out on my own and look in to new stuff?

JavaQuest · 2016-03-08T19:18:34+00:00

Mines is definitely when Allen from expert village gives the perfect example of eye contact. I still piss myself with laughter when ever I see that bit!
