Tom King Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I had an idea for promoting the art of the game in its current state. I apologize if this or something similar has been pitched before, but it would be cool to see a timelapse of Mark painting a scene from start to finish. Some commentary where he walks us through the process, describing brushes, tools and techniques would be a plus. What do you guys think?

Troels Pleimert Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 That'd be really cool. He has that drawing pen thing that draws directly on the screen. I'd love to see a brief tour of how that thing works. I'll relay the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomimt Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would enjoy from something like that immensly. (and as a cherry on top he could do a low resolution AGI from the same scene) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intendant S Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd be down for a timelapse video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Fantastic. Thanks, Troels! I use a Wacom Intuos 4. It's just a tablet pad, which is nice but you have to peck around and do some guess work from time to time. From the looks of it, Mark has a Cintiq, which actually has a monitor built into the tablet. I'm jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomimt Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I use Wacom Bamboo myself. It's not the biggest one in the market, but suit me fine. Though I do have A3 sized Aiptek tablet as well, but it stopped working próperly after WinXP service pack 3 came out. Aiptek never bothered to fix the drivers. And it has batteries on the pen, so that's always a hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackthorne Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 My hope is to next year buy my artists Cintiqs for use on projects. I actually got turned on to a very reasonably priced similar product - a friend of mine runs an animation studio, and he pointed these out to me. http://frenden.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u So, if we can afford it next year, I wanna pick some up.

Troels Pleimert Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Timelapses are a bit of a hassle, says Mark, because he's using so many gizmos and gadgets to get where he goes, it'd take forever to setup. We are mulling over perhaps a "gizmo of the week" type thing, if possible. And I'm also trying to get the Guys into using Instagram and Vine. I think they could have tons of fun with a thing like Vine. Seems to work for Tim Schafer, anyway. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bt Damn, that is affordable. Makes me think of all kind of nasty things I'd do with that 19 inch. Blackthorne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nockgeneer Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Timelapses are a bit of a hassle, says Mark, because he's using so many gizmos and gadgets to get where he goes, it'd take forever to setup. We are mulling over perhaps a "gizmo of the week" type thing, if possible. I got a Radian timelapse device from Alpine Labs back when they had their Kickstarter. It's the easiest thing to use ever; you control it from a smartphone. The only thing is it requires you have a proper camera with a remote trigger or IR port. But seriously, it's like nothing to set up. I would attach a couple of videos which were just done quickly while I was in China and then equally quickly put together in Picasa (Lightroom is otherwise the standard for doing this kind of thing), but apparently I'm not allowed to upload mp4 files :(. I should really upload them to youtube at some point, then I'll link them to here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
