VEXUVIUS released!

After months of hard work finally i've completed the VEXUVIUS project and made it available for public for free. I've put hundreds of hours on the model creation and the output results are very satisfying and enjoyed the compiled products runing on 4x4 EVO2 simulator as it roam around the heavy off-roading trails. There are 3 variant for everyone to enjoy:

-VEXUVIUS CD 28.0 XL-UR
-VEXUVIUS CD 28.1 XL-TR
-VEXUVIUS CD 28.2 XL-TRC

Each models in 4x4 EVO2 format handles differently as they have different performance feature in the simulator. Overall the "UR" variant have more controllable handling and fun. Other are extremely powerfull built for hard core driving. All the models comes in both playable 4x4 EVO2 format and SDK development package and also comes with customizable template skins for those who love to do some painting in CPT format. If you're interested to try out these models that i just created you can head to my main website at http://www.supermotoxl to grabs all these hot 4x4 models. Enjoy.

Part 2: become game developer

So they found you? Usually they will ask few things about:
- past work
- past employer/game dev-publisher
- achievements
- developement/3d tools you use

The fact is mostly they hoping if one can use tools like 3D Studio or GMAX because this is the coomon tools they use to develop meshes for their game environment object. Which sometimes troubled me since i use Z-modeler from the start and GUI stuff really twisted my braihn around, luckily i have was to export in 3DS format with little glitches.
There will be so me issue and risk you have to face when you're hired for contract, these are major ones that i usually got me an asprin for my headache:

- Can you cope with tight deadlines? ?

This is the biggest problem for most of us modeler to confront. Eg: building at least 2 detailed car models in 5 days can be tight jobs especially during the day you have other careere to face with. Penalty will be inpose for by pass the due because most game project involve time = money thing. A day or two loss means $$$ loss. Usually they will deduct from your contract payment else quick termination. So before you sign contract be sure YOU REALLY CAN CATCH UP WITH THE TIMELINES.

One thing i hate being in that "3d artist/modeler position" in game development teams is that you tends to built replica of something rather than thinking what i'm free to design especially when they built car involving licenced car models. Why dun they just skip that expensive car and just built a DIY brands? Luckily ony 70% out of 100% giving me chance to express freely on my designs, That's a plus!

Oh yeah i forgot, the most headache thing that comes at last part of the projetc was legal paperwork, tax and payment settlement that usually involve lots of walk around in and out off the legal department, banks and customs office...arrghhh...those forms are pulling my legs....that's when you're under overseas contract.

New little brother code: NX-360

Today i'm pretty proud and happy to be back behind my pc and work out final touch on my newly created models going to roll out hopefully by end of this month. Codename: nx-360. This models will be much familiar in appearance in styling and concept but a little smaller, compact and more of Coupe sports car. Its has several fixes and upgrades from old NEMIXIS models. Still and foward cockpit syle but there's no more side skirt style of a ricer. First glance it'll look like something from FORD GT-40 genetic and dwaf like Lamborhini Gallarado size and more slanted rear end of an AUDI sports GT.
Because i refer this models as Codename: NX-360. There's no official name given until the last moment...i was kinda confuse which cool name to give this little brat, lol. This models come's in variety theme and for Touring edition it comes with phat GOOD YEAR tyre and drag race wheels set. Won't be much *bling* factor, its a race ready out of the box mad car. ...
