Re: 51 things every game student should know
is it a dick move to ask for grizzled veteran artist's work samples? I'm not talking about personal fights on the internet right now, and you probably know it too. are you notch? I'm falling into the void of dispair. you just learned something new. think about it for a minute. okay lbr, did your abovementioned classmate… -

I want to bring 3D fights back to Polycount.
Pow, right in the kisser! Back in the day - waaaaay back in the day - at Polycount we'd have impromptu "3D fights": A random topic or theme and a measly 30-60 minutes to do whatever we could within that theme. Usually the result was nothing but geometry rendered crudely. From there everyone would dump their results in to a… -
Re: Real-Time Viking Woman (Critique and specific feedback sorely needed)
Hi once again everyone! I am working on her facial anatomy stuff at the moment, and should be able to post a more interesting update later in the week. I would however like to take the chance now to ask for more specific feedback/ideas on the type of details I could add to the ends of her clothes. Below I have… -
Re: For those of you in the industry, how many hours a week ?
At PAX East this year, there was a talk given by Jason Della Rocca called 'Here Be Danger,' in which he echoed some of what EQ just said. A portion of the talk covered the pitfalls of being a newb (or grizzled vet for that matter) in the industry and succumbing to the "culture of the studio." There's no need for me to list… -
Re: Vista Preview
ok redoing my post :P I'm not a fan of the Mac commercials, they seem very condescending.

The whole Mac… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
No matter what you choose, you're going to have to put aside your prejudices about other apps not working quite like Maya. There are going to be things that you'll have to get used to in any app when you're just starting out with it, and particularly with old grizzled Maya users I often see a dismissal other software… -
Re: Space Admiral and future Projects :)
These are some random thoughts, and I know you're more experienced than I am, so feel free to ignore but I figured this might be one of those threads where you won't exactly drown in criticism. - Agreed with Jackablade, it's really quite hard to see some things, especially since Polycount's background is just a shade… -
Re: "The Industry" and Art Tests.
Generally an art test is just an accurate representation of the type of work that you will do on the job regularly. The only art test that I've had to do was a very short one, about an hour during which I had to create two terrain textures from several different photos, and make sure the two final textures were color… -
Re: Hand Painted Face -Critique Needed
I only compared him to the WoW male because he was the only male model made by a big real company or whomever I can trust to be reasonably well done, since Blizzard is pretty quality, but I actually was sorta going for Wii silly. You're right though Vig after rereading that he probably did mean with the arms at his sides,…
