Someone on irc helped me with the first one, thanks rebelxd :) Now, if I can be a pain the ass and just find answers to those other two I will be grateful, usually google turns up what I need but this time nothing.
I've gotten a 900 lb DL with a 1.2 meg upload. This was while I was uploading 2 megabytes a second on IRC and downloading something else at about 500. My fiberoptics could handle more but finding all these things to DL is tough
There actually is a discord channel. It's not super active, and it's not character art focused, but there's a steady amount of people on there regularly: https://discord.gg/0Vu6wFfSmdmpePxp I wish they would finish building the IRC component into discord so I could use that for both! Hopefully soon.
Right on Kub's got a strange taste in music but a lot of the stuff I definitely like.. I had actually never really heard Wilco too much before talking to him about it on the IRC. Polyphonic Spree binge this week kub? haha
OK, from the few responses here plus some of the guys on IRC, I think I am going to go ahead and set it up. PLEASE PLEASE continue using this thread for any ideas to enhance it, add rules, etc. Thanks guys!
flaagan I remember you talking to me about game effects in the IRC channel. Can't wait to see some of your new stuff. I'm taking visual effects for games this term and we're using UDK's particle system pretty heavily.
I used to frequent an irc channel with a bot that sets up a timer, tells participants to start modeling, gives them the link to upload their work once the time is finished. The channel is #smc on freenode. I haven't visited it in months but it became dead if i remember right. But it helped me a lot in comparing my modeling…
hmm mine was gonna be some sports guy too :P ... the WIP i had before these looked like he was wearing schoolboy soccer kit. i don't have irc on my laptop here... i could go download it if you want?
As "someone" on irc told me "GET ON TO IT" so here I am. Feel free to say anything you want in this thread, crit and comments or just random nonsense. Random Sketch Unfinished pilot (hopefully I'll finnish her after DW) Some DW3 concepts (I'm going with the magma/lava girl)
How to get connections, get involved on sites like polycount and the IRC channel and make friends with people there. You can get internships without school, I had one. I feel they are pointless unless they are paid internships, but I guess its resume filler.
