Where do you guys get art for games?

I'm a decent programmer but a terrible artist. Where should I go to get textures and models to use in a game? Do I have to hire someone to make them, or is there an easier/cheaper way?

There is a site uGameDev that if for mac games. They have lots of free* assets for starting out. You just have to download stuffit expander ( yuk, makes me want to kill someone ) to read the .sit archives.
* Some assets are GPL some are uGameDev license. uGameDev basicly states it's free for Mac games so you might wnat to ask before you assume that's and a-ok for java development too.
I have no quams about stealing assets for development, asking and creditinging for a demo, but I would never use a stolen asset in a commercial/shareware game.

  • Where do you guys get your clients? I need side jobs

    Sorry if off topic. I use premiere cs4 and AE. I work for a non-profit org so all my work is for them. I would like to start doing small projects outside of work. I placed ads on craigslist but all i seem to get is spam replys. production hub seems slow. How do you guys put yourself out there? I don't really have any connections.

    The MOD's will probably move this to the Video Lounge, as that is the proper place for it, so watch in case it "disappears."
    In my case, most of my clients come either from my still client-base, or via word of mouth. Many of the latter seem to come from my circle of "friends," and from people related to my social endeavors, i.e. networking.
    One possibility would be to offer to do pro-bono editing for other not-for-profit groups. With permission, add full credits, including contact info. I sit on a few charity boards and we often do some major AV productions for the events. As these involve much more than just editing, and I also have a full "dance card," we use some pro-bono (in kind donations) productions. All of our printed materials have full credits to the production houses, and we ask that each do a full credit portion. For materials that we hand out at the events, or use in pre-event promotion, we ask that those production houses put their credits on the printed discs. This obviously helps us (pro-bono production), so we want to help them. I will also donate editing time, where appropriate, to those suppliers, should they need additional work.
    Back when I was shopping my portfolio more actively, I donated my services to organizations like the Denver Art Directors Club, and the Denver Ad Federation. I picked up dozens of clients from the donated projects. It also gave AD's and Creative Directors an opportunity to work with me on the pro-bono projects, so that they knew my capabilities and personality - at no charge to them.
    Lot of good comes from doing a "favor" under the right circumstances.
    Good luck, and look for this to go to the Lounge.
    Hunt
    [Edit] I see that the MOD's DID move the thread to the Lounge. This is where I would have put it too. Hope that the OP finds it here. If they saw any of the early replies, should not be an issue.

  • Where did you guys get your MSI 655 mobo's?

    I've looked everywhere. I cant find a place on the net to purchase a 655.
    thanks  :D

    I haven't seen any HT capable ones out there. I got mine from Knowledge Micro. They were the only ones at the time that clearly said no HT. At the time there were no HT 655Max  boards out there. MWave also has them.
    Edited: 150.00 at Knowledge Micro.

  • How do I stop getting updates for games through the app store on my macbook?

    I'm continually getting updates for games (also for the usual stuff, but that's fine), is there a way to edit what updates you get?

  • Where do you guys (or girls) learn??

    When I ask a question on this forum, I know that after school
    I can return to my computer to find a slew of useful answers. So I
    ask another: Where do you guys learn how do use flash so well?? I
    personally am self taught, and use various internet tutorials if I
    want to do specific things... but just general knowledge of the
    entire program? I have seen various flash books in bookstores, but
    while flipping through them they look like the Adobe Live Docs,
    just ActionScript, and their usage. Also, I live in a hick town in
    the middle of know-where, so theres no chance of finding a flash
    course, or even a lecture of two.
    Where do you folks learn, and is there anything available to
    me that would be more than reading an ActionScript dictionary, but
    wouldn't need me driving half way across the country to find a
    flash course?
    THANKS!
    -Donald J

    Guy, in this case.
    Here at my office, mainly. ;)
    Set yourself a target, try to solve it on your own. If it
    does not work
    out, look for help in Flash related forums, newsgroups,
    articles, books
    or ask your friendly Flash guru acquaintance. That's me.
    Not the Flash guru acquaintance, but all the rest. That's how
    I learned
    Flash and is how I am still learning it.
    Final words: Without the internet as a source for Flash
    knowledge I
    think, I'd still be using Tweenings...

  • I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

    I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Can you have two nicknames for game center for two kids linked to one Apple ID?

    Can you have two nicknames in game center (for each child) linked to one email/apple ID?

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Any way to get refunded for games that looked good in adverts but turned out to be entirely rubbish?

    Ripped off? I got over 80 hours from Bloodborne, THE standout game for me this gen.

    30 days is too long for a refund. As it was mentioned earlier, it would be the death of
    small devs who are doing it proper and will be run down by something subjective.
    One middle ground solution is to wait for reviews and word of mouth (friends or news gaming sites etc.)
    before you buy any games. Marketers aren't the most honest group so stop listening/reading into them
    already. Too many idiots with short-term money keep falling for things marketers come up with and end
    up complaining everywhere. Do your own research and stop being lazy.
    -Stop pre-ordering (Producers and publishers aren't testing their products enough, and have shifted their focus on pleasing their board members too much. These board members don't know the ins-and-outs of game development so they should also be called out in comments and conversations too.)
    -More developers should go back to creating demos for games, and the Gaming platforms (Sony, Microsoft, Steam) could accomodate developers in terms of costs for demos.
    Patience is a virtue and it would be nice if game development (and all the groups involved) went back to the good
    old days of properly tested games before being released.

  • How(where) do you download Product updates for offline patching?

    We are trying to use a central patch management software (LANDesk), and wish to patch our MACs with it, however most of the patches require us to manually download and compress the install packages in order to send them out.  Where do you go to download packages and updates for MAC software for offline installation (non-AppStore)?  I have not been able to find them on the Apple support download site.
    Some of the patches we need are:
    GarageBand-10.0.2
    iMovie-10.0.3
    Keynote-6.2
    Numbers-3.2

    Then this begs the question, if I were a large company with 5000 or 10000 MACs, how do you manage those?  Ask each user to keep patching and updating themselves?  How do you control versioning?  Is there an Enterprise level management software to handle application rollouts and patching?

  • After bringing in the movie from a video camera in iMovie and enhancing it tiles and transitions etc how do you and where do you save the project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    Where do you save a movie project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    I recommend that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then in iDVD, you open the Media Browser and navigate to your project. You can drag it into your iDVD project from there.
    You can also use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and save to the location of your choice. You can then drag and drop into iDVD.

  • Where do you download display drivers for GeForce 770m (gt70 20C)?

    I have noticed that my new MSI laptop has been experiencing strange framerate drops in some games. Dota 2, for example, will drop from 60fps to 9fps, and will not come back up unless I restart client. Assassin's Creed 3 does the same thing, but can be solved with an alt-tab 
    So I went to look for new Geforce drivers. I was shocked to find that I could not install the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com. wow!
    So are we at the mercy of MSI for display driver updates? I did manage to find a driver on MSI.com, but it was actually an older version than the one that came pre-installed with the machine.   
    So is there anywhere else we can download more up-to-date drivers from??? As this is my first every MSI notebook, I am concerned that MSI is not going to provide timely driver updates.
    Please tell me it isnt so.
    cheers,
    -deluxxe

    311.83 is the latest MSI driver. MSI will release a new driver if necessary. It is also quite normal that the nvidia drivers don't work with customized OEM solutions. You can ask MSI for the next release: >>How to contact MSI.<<
    You can also give the nvidia beta 326.19 a shot as it seems to work with current MSI notebooks like GT70 2OD (780m): https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171241.0
