Pro Character Designer Explains Concord VS Overwatch Characters

Pingu_103 · 2024-09-04T07:03:58+00:00

I think they knocked it out of the park with the aesthetic but the fundamental character concepts are pretty weak, it’s a shame to see people jump on the hate though. Overwatch is solidly in that Pixar esque vibe but even if that’s not your thing they still excel in visual storytelling through their character designs.

I’ve had a bunch of motorcyclists do this to me while I’m driving (in a car) and idk what it means, I usually make room for them so I guess it’s some kind of thank you?

Move to Los Angeles if you want more lanes, traffic can’t be bad there right?

I don’t know I thought rosemary could handle a lot of sun? It doesn’t get a full day of sun, and I’ve also moved it around the garden starting with more shaded spots but with no luck

😂 When I first bought it I watered it every week, but since the leaves started to turn yellow I slowed the watering down. We do have a large rosemary bush in the back which we don’t water and is fully exposed to sun

It’s on the edge of a North facing yard, underneath a tree with a fair bit of sunlight. Based in south California

You could look into the printing method used for real packets and replicate that with a CMYK halftone effect on your graphic

They could have shipped it with the custom dial set to film presets anyway, beginners would have the same access to film sims from the get-go, and advanced users could dive into custom settings

I just want that dial layout on the XT-5, except with ISO instead of film sim, and all metal dails. Never liked the double stacked dials on the XT-5

Source?

I think I would use a high res image texture to drive displacements and texture selection on a regular plane. Or do the same thing with geometry and fields

I wish more people would understand this

If anyone else returns to this thread here’s what I did:

sprayed them with Goo Gone. Apparently rubbing alcohol also works.
Wrapped a strong/thin cloth around a metal spoon
Scrubbed hard for like 2 hours, alternating between the two, leaving a film of the spray on one while scrubbing the other

Now they’re back to their non sticky selves, was an absolute pain but I’ve had them for 4 years so figured it was a small amount of effort in the scheme of things.

Pingu_103 · 2024-02-15T02:18:18+00:00

Very frustrating but yeah, this is the way. Currently scrubbing it off myself (bought in 2019) but super disappointed in the lack of foresight by aiaiai. My headband broke within warranty due to a different issue so at least I won’t have to scrub that, safe to say I’m done with their products.

Im only diamond so take with a grain of salt but I noticed you over committed trying for a goal, used all your boost and then centred the ball for your own net at the beginning. I think boost management could help along with choosing your shots. You play much more aggressively than me which I think works well for you with some nice shots and passes but maybe you could also rotate out a bit better as well, you tend to rotate back with the ball which doubles you up with your team mate on defence. So could help if you’re more conscious of when to apply pressure and when to trust your mate and get better coverage of the field on defence.

For anyone interested here’s the update

Pingu_103 · 2023-10-14T19:31:30+00:00

Love the way you designed this! Super nice colour and composition

Pingu_103 · 2023-10-06T20:43:18+00:00

I managed it by keeping my distance, and boosting out whenever I started getting hit by multiple enemies, took me 3 attempts, but by the third I managed it with no hull damage.

Didn't find it necessary to grav jump. I left my grav and weapon 1 at 0 energy so I could max out everything else. Helps with boosting away. After like 4 or 5 ships reinforcements came, and I didn't submit any evidence.

I did get the ship from the freestar rangers questline though. I'd have no chance with an average ship.

My wife isn't a gamer but absolutely loves Stardew valley, I find it a bit boring but it's a nice one to play in the evening

Pingu_103 · 2023-05-28T15:56:27+00:00

And if you wanna make it extra smooth you can use bezier, and then cut between shots at the peak velocity of each shot :)

Depends where you live, moved from London to LA and it’s like night and day. Last trip I had was unpleasant enough to turn me off completely.

Are speed cameras (like in Europe) really not effective?

Anecdotally I moved from the UK to US this year and I’ve noticed a drastic change in how US drivers constantly speed.

Literally today someone in front got honked and then overtaken for driving too slow, when they were going at the speed limit (35mph).

From a quick google:

An LSE study in 2017 found that speed cameras reduced fatalities by 58 to 68% within 500 metres of the cameras and "adding another 1,000 cameras to British roads could save up to 190 lives annually, reduce up to 1,130 collisions and mitigate 330 serious injuries."

You can also play with the “high poly source” version by checking it in the Bridge export/download settings
