Eric Elwell has a new tutorial online covering basic game lighting. It shows how a model is affected by the deafult and advanced lights in the Torque engine, and will be followed by a texturing tutorial to take advantage of this knowledge.
Hawken King has updated his site, http://www.dadako.com/ in what I consider to be one of the smartest new looks that I have seen in a long time.
I may have to steal some ideas.
“Rick, how do you paint metal?”, “Rick, where have all the texture tutorials gone?”
Well Jimmy, the truth is that it’s been a long time since I wrote any, and my old ones are out of date. Fortunately I blatantly stole this link to Skinning Tuts earlier. So read it and learn something new. Incidentally, these days I do a lot of skinning, and by that I mean binding a model to a skeletal rig. That is something I probably could write a tutorial on - but with deadlines and holidays and then the long run up to the release of our next game, I’ll pass on that for now.
Robert Headley has just started a blog, Game by Design. So pop over and say hullo.
Now, it got me wondering - how many other game artists out there are blogging? If you know any, then let me know.
Edit: I’ve had one so far, Adam Bromell
Edit 2: Pete joins the fray - Stray Neutrino
There was a mail in my inbox today from CG Society, linking me to their new Wiki.

Gordons series on building a 3d character is cracking along. Go check out his second part on laying out UV maps.
Oh, Adam Bromell has joined the blogging games artist group - so check out his site.

Gordon is a superb artist who I work with. He didn’t go camping, but was the provider of a great idea…
Go visit his brand spanking new site, where he is beginning a step by step walkthrough of building and Zbrushing a character.
Oh, and I better add Chris too, or he’ll stop me from voting.
