Id be guessing its the whole next gen thing coming into play and the impact might well be much more ovious in the UK than the US maybe.
Also I guess the Big Coporate companies are having to look deeper than the bog standard student looking to "work anywhere for anything"...again becuase of the next gen tech coming into play.
Just wondering acturally,if anyone from the UK here knows if there any talk of incorporating the use of Zbrush or at least hi-poly theory into UNiversity Videogames courses and college courses?
Just my take on whats going on I think Ghost.
