Portland Polycount Peeps!

heather

Sweet alliteration.
Hey, would it be completely weird if I were interested in meeting some awesome 3d killaaas irl?
Are any of you located in Portland, OR?

BelgianBoolean

I know this thread is pretty damn old, but I'm a Portland. Any other Portland Polycounters out there? Would love to go out for a brew and chat sometime.

My brother is moving to portland.. ;O i may attempt to move there too

BelgianBoolean

It's a great city. I'm looking to move in the next year or so for work's sake. Not enough game work. Liquid Development is the biggest; and they do asset work for major companies.

AtlusZMH

I'm right across the river in Vancouver. I know a lot of Liquid guys are on here though

BelgianBoolean

My brother lives right over there! I had no idea the folks at Liquid were on here much. I only know a few guys in the studio. Also, amazing work on your site!

AtlusZMH

Thanks a lot! Maybe this thread will coax some out of hiding :P

seforin

leave this place....

BelgianBoolean

Seforin! You've come from the year 20XX to warn us that Portland will be overrun by folks with clipboards on every street corner.

seforin

and Road warrior hippy kids who hide there drugs in dog's butt's and beg for your change...... And Summer's that never come....ever....

BelgianBoolean

You remember that one time when Portland was warm and sunny for a few months? Yeah, neither do I.

Mark Dygert

Quite... you'll anger the sky gods and they'll peel back their grey blankets and try to kill everyone with their giant ball of golden death rays... I saw it once... People instantly vaporized... and by vaporized I mean so blinded they ran for shelter, developed skin cancer and where never heard from again....OOoooOooooo....

BelgianBoolean

And all that was heard among the scorched ashes of Portland were cries for spare change and "Do you care about the environment?"

seforin

Fuck my life I need to move to the beach again.

BelgianBoolean

I'm a broke ass soon-to-be college graduate. Once I work enough in the area, I'm moving to a place where the sun shines, every studio gives me 30k tri limits, and I get to use 4k texture sheets for everything.

sirgabe

5 dicks.

BelgianBoolean

If someone in PDX was responsible for the 5 dick ogre, we'd be the cg hub for the U.S.

I used to laugh at that shit till I walked in downtown and realized how terribly true it is.

this + this lovely weather makes me want to stick around, and all those hot hipsters here it just makes me never want to leave....









portland filled with more hipster smug and lumberjack and tim burton atmosphere then you know what to do with


(for fucks sake I cant wait to move)

BelgianBoolean

Preach it! The hipster army is on the move. Their loafers (without socks) beating against the cement as they declare a great Arcade Fire against the city. Beating their vnecked chests proudly as they shout about obscure art and music.

Clearly we all have much love for this place. We gotta snag a beer sometime and bitch about it in person.

BelgianBoolean

There's a few other places like Super Genius, Bent Image Labs, Quantum Squid etc. But they're fairly small. Thanks for the meetup tip!

Fink

I've lived in Portland/Northwest all my life and I think people here are pretty cool and I love the variety of weather here. We wouldn't have the nice days without the rainy days to make us appreciate them that much more.

Portland is not for everyone, but there is a lot to do here and a lot of great people to meet if you have an open mind about things. Every place has it's good and bad. It's definitely not good to focus on the bad alone.

BelgianBoolean

It's pretty true. I want to move big time, and I know I'm coming across like I hate it here. I definitely just have my pet peeves. Guys like Fink make this place a blast and there's a ton of talent in the area. So I do have to apologize for helping turn this into a bitchfest. Thanks for the post mate.

seforin

Fink DEFINETLY agree with you its a state of mind...but I really think my mind has been chemically altered due to the lack of sun and faster pace of life I use to live...cant wait to get up and go more back east again. This place is to slow for me.






















































...and boring.

Fink

Well you know I just wanted to get back to talking about dick ogres!

BelgianBoolean

Fink, you know what I love!
