Anyhow, the initial goal for $900 000 has already been reached. Just $600 000 to go for the Linux port.

Its fine as it is bud cheers for the news!

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3689, member: 122"Yep. I was asking how you go about maintaining that when you've got such a broad range of stuff to be working on. Do you keep design notes to refer back to later, or do you try to use existing assets you've created as visual guidelines (I've taken this ad-hoc approach with projects in the past, and for anything involving more than 20 - 30 assets, I find that there ends up being a style/quality gap between the stuff I did first and the stuff I did last)? Do you cannibalise elements from existing assets to help give consistency to new assets?

No design notes are taken, but all my assets are there to refer to. I use existing textures sometimes between models, also I use parts of models to help make up the new models. As my skills improve i suspect there will be a gap of some sort but will prob go back to my older models and improve them, to bring them more in-line.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3679, member: 122"Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Do you put effort into maintaining a consistent visual aesthetic, or do you have a more organic approach to art direction?

@Brandon - will these things allow me to shoot telekinetic bullets from my fingers for real, or just make me feel excessively uncomfortable?

We have a consistent visual style take for instance the alien models

alien satellite

alienfighters

they both have a similar visual style

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3657, member: 122"Is there anywhere where you've talked about your approach for art direction for this project/how you work? If not, I'm sure there'd be people beyond myself who'd be interested in hearing.

We don't produce concept art very often as it would be too time consuming , If it a larger model we will discuss it between ourselves what we would like to bring to the game, then ill probably use google images to gather some ideas that I would like to adapt probably link Brandon to them via Google talk. After a quick discussion on what ideas we like, then i will get right to work taking screenshots at various stages of development. Showing Brandon along the way if we decide its not going quite right we will either scrap the model altogether or adapt what we have until we are happy with it. If its a smaller less important model no discussion takes place we just get on with it.
