Programmer Art

oohhh, pretty. gewd damn it i wish i had money to hire programmers and just have them make cool stuff, sigh

I've seen some of those done in flash, although are somewhat slower.. very cool effects [:)]

thats probably right, i'm using a lot of line art here - and thats something that flash excels at

try this one on for size then:

Oh, I wasn't saying yours was slower.. I've seen some of the shaded line effects in Flash, and they seemed slower than your java ones.. and they used much less lines or iterations (sorry, I am SO not a programmer [:)]).. I've seen a lot of those 'magnetic' rubber band line things too in Flash.. they had much less points though as well.
You should get some textured 3d stuff going in some Java! [;)]

yeah i knew thats what you meant, my point is line-art in flash is pretty common these days, probably silly for me to compete with lines in java then, its just that its pretty damn hard to get the fillrate in java required to get even flatshaded stuff running at a decent clip, and texture mapping, dont even bother, its all in software so it would be jaggy as hell, no filtering... UGLEEEEEE!

Damnit those rule man !

Now if only you could make some decent winamp visualisations with those effects that would rock :-)

I would love to help you on that tho...

thanks daemin, i just wish i had more spare time to play around with this stuff, game dev work doesnt leave you with much...

here's some more 2D stuff:

Yeah, I could imagine that it wouldn't, I tried to fit in full time university around game development (stilll hobby based but I was heavily devoted) and that didn't turn out too well.

I guess the time that you're not at work you spend partying or with your family (if you have one that is). ?

Well I guess it might be time to show off a little "artistic" demo that I did *gasp* over a year ago for a job application.

It might not work 100% on all people's computers because there were some bugs in the code that long ago, but its something cool none-the-less. Some of you game industry people might recognise it since I sent it out to many places in hopes of getting a job.

Download it from my website: [url]http://members.austarmetro.com.au/~sdgrab/Teapot-Demo.zip[/url] oh yeah, and read the readme file for more info.

Actually, i'm doing honours math part time at ANU while working at irrational - i only do one subject a semester, but its terribly hard to find the time to study, let alone attend lectures, most of my spare time is spent sitting at home in a zombie like state feeling bad about being behind in my studies ;)

i'll check your demo out daemin, cheers

What are you currently working on now at Irrational, Gaffer? The Lost?
That reminds me, I've had a set of interview questions for Jonathon Chey for aaages.. I should really send it off to him.

The Lost is being done by the team in Boston, i cant really say what the Australian team is working on yet, as the publisher hasnt announced it yet we are all under NDA etc ;)

you should send those questions off to jon, i'm sure he'd be happy to respond, feels nice when somebody wants to interview you ;)

cheers

PHWOOAR!! I KNEW IT!! SYSTEM SHOCK 3 !!@@!!@ [;)]

kidding.. sorry, it just reminded me of that rumour a while back of System shock 3 in production due to that Boston programming job advertisement. It's funny how rumours can just spring out of nowhere [:)]

rumours h0h0h0! [8D]

Gaffer! I see in your forum profile that you worked at Auran as well.. what did you work on over there?!

Awesome :)

if your host is expensive, try switching to tierra.net, nice and cheap, and really fast
