>At a game studio like BioWare, we typically look for someone that has experience working on AAA games or have been an industry leader in a specific field like animation or character graphics. Ultimately, we look to hire talent who want to push the boundaries of the type of work they do and always be thinking about the type of work we do.

It doesn't matter what you say, what arguments you give, how much posts you make. This game will be a commercial success and there's nothing you can do about it. Keep whining because I'm sure even you will buy it. These kind of companies always win. We're truly doomed.

>Keep whining because I'm sure even you will buy it.
Bioware might turn a profit. There are tards with consoles that'll buy just about anything. No way I can stop that.

However I don't have to support crap like this with my money. My money goes towards games that I want more of, like BotW and Nier: Automata.

I hope the invisible hand of the free market chokes the life out of Bioware.

I'll pass. I've actually been there back when they were working on DAO2 and it was so mismanaged and awful to see. Everyone was doing what they thought was important first, there was no direction from the director. Chaotic is a perfect way to describe it. When they showed me around the office where their team does the animations no one was there, and the guy giving me the tour was getting nervous you could tell. I asked him where everyone was and he said probably out to lunch or something. It was 3pm. He also showed me the tech they were using and the hardware and it was all outdated and looked like the computers would explode at any minute. I like to actually work and get shit done and the only reason to work for bioware is if you like to slack off and get paid doing something you """""""love""""""""

MY SIDES

>>370026960
It is, and >>370026841 is right. Not just their software/hardware, but their methods were outdated too, and absolutely retarded. They couldn't animate efficiently if it saved their lives, they were using long workarounds for simple problems and none of them were using any reference material for the actions they animated. They would just mocap a lot of shit then go in and tweak it all by hand, very poorly. The way they have their animation system set up is very archaic. It's just a series of scripts that run, and they set up scenes like that. It's why there's so much jank and why character switch animations without any animations to transition between them. None of the animations used any programming to help either, it was just them animating shit by hand so there's tons of clipping and things like >>370026689 happening. They're the definition of incompetent.

Their rig system is in Maya from what he showed us, but if I understood well, they have to go throught Motionbuilder first for the mocap they do and then slap it into maya.

I'm not sure but I think they were still on Maya 2013 or 2014 when they started so maybe that feature wasn't included.

>>370027675

>>370027605
Yes, most AAA studios are doing that to be perfectly honest.

>>370027862
Yes, but almost no company is willing to make that sacrifice due to $$$ and potential risk involved in not getting the desired results and wasting time and resources when they already have a system that may look shitty, but gets sales.

>>370027676
So it might be better? I hope so. The next stage is making their games deeper in features. I love the idea of building colonies and making them thrive and seeing people walk around and do shit and stuff, depending on how well I do.

Wey back in the day BioWare used to look for writers by having them release a module in Aurora and send it to them. I made three and sent them the one I felt really suited what i'd like to do in the future. I got an email about a month later saying they liked it and wanted to run an interview but at the time i'd just gotten hired as a contractor for a mining company up north and turned them down. I don't know if I fucked up or not. I can't write for shit anymore and BioWare's now a smoking crater.

when you think about it, why couldn't they just made a good base rig and use that and tweak it? I mean, it can take only 1 or 2 afternoons.

it may be possible that the artists dont have time to improve themselves or refuse to improve themselves or the game engine they use couldn't support a intensive rig

>>370029764
I think that has to deal with retention. If you don't let a good rigger make his good rig because of time/budget, he's just going to leave and find another place to do that.

Bioware has some serious competition in Montreal (where they dev MEA) so it's not surprising to me that they put "Make a new rig" as a P4 and the old rigger was like "fuck that I'm out". The conferencer did mention that he was hired mid-project so he wasn't able to implement the workflow he had back then.

Also a good rig takes more than an afternoon, to develop the good scripts and tools to make it efficient it's gonna take weeks.

Modern-day animators no longer take animation classes before starting work

It's the same crisis that japan is dealing with for anime, btw. People drawing anime are no longer actually studying motion dynamics etc.; so the animations just all end up shit

>>370029103
I kinda know that I couldn't have accomplished much. Maybe gotten to write a couple sidequests in the DA games or ME games. Maybe even get to handle a few memorable NPCs. The reality would probably be getting to write some mwaningless fluff that will get retconned, though.

Funny that you mention waifus. In the module i'd sent the whole point was that you were chasing after a lover that didn't exist and found yourself in front of a servant of Llolth. I made sure to make it so that your conversation choices basically built the waifu/husbando for you.

>>370030204
You have a good point there. Mo treal is filled to the brim with dev companies, some even known for high-quality models and animations. I won't ever say that UbiSoft is at the pinnacle but they've made some visually incredible stuff in the past and so has Eidos.

>>370030575

Animators don't make the rigs nowadays, it requires so much scripting knowledge they hire specific tech-artists to do it.

I mean that's if you want a rig you can use for 10+ games, with sliders, modifiers and all the nifty features that speed up animations.

I've been on projects with a rigger/skinner/animator and it's turned out great, we just threw the rig out after the project is all.

That's weird. I'm not into the industry but i thought that mocap was the most easy way of doing a realistic animation since you "just" have to record.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYJS_zlSLJ4

On a side note, i found tw3 impressive, considering the number of cutscenes, but it's not fully mocap from what i've heard.

Bioware was always shit though. BG is an objectively dogshit dungeon crawler.

>>370032604
Yeah but the thing about Mocap is that is has to be passed through an animator to clean it up and then integrated into the game.

With real-time mocap what you are seeing is the engine running completely, with rig, FX and mesh all set and your animations are directly applied on top. The animator in this case becomes the director and directs his actor into doing what he needs to do.

There is a lot of fixing and tweaking to it, but it makes mocap 100% more cost-efficient since sessions costs a lot for smaller devs who don't have dedicated studios.

That would be a pretty dumb strategy. The trick is to get people to complain about something that others will dismiss, like ugly women, or something from old previews that they have already fixed.

This game looks like some unholy spawn of Oblivion's CC and FO4 animations.

How can people simulteanously hate anime for bad animation and praise neo Bioware?

It is disgusting how such low effort games turn out to be successful simply because of marketing. AAA games are a blight on gaming.

Let's face it anon. The soul of Bioware died over a decade ago. And it was taken off life support when EA bought them. What we're seeing now is the equivalent of an Elvis impersonator.

Sounds alot like what i was doing in my 3d modeling class to be honest. Like really it sounds like they are using entry level skills.

>>370034594
The thing is the budget. You can have a good anime putting some money on it.
Not in the case of ME Andromenda.

What we need is another visionary in the gaming industry, who manages to secure a big budget and make an actual RPG. Obsidian and all the kickstarter shit is a valiant effort, but enthusiasm cant buy technologies and staff.

Until then, people who just dont care will keep pushing this crap out, just to make investors happy and have a job.

>Claire: I refused to do something, actually. The interviewer asked what I wanted to do, and I was like, “I would like to do dragons.” They replied, “We don’t do dragons, we do spaceships.” “I don’t want to do the spaceships,” I said. “Well, we do spaceships.” [laughs] They decided they wanted someone who knew what they wanted to do and I said alright, I’ll take the job.
