@shrike cheers for the comment, mate. Nice to get one from you. Mipp-mapping 101. :) Yeah, that was part of the design. This is purely a portfolio piece that I'm rendering offline so I was going for more of a real-world look rather than an in-game exaggerated bevel look as there'll be no mipping or LODing involved.
Cool moonlight streaming in a window. Orange incandescent spilling in from the hall. Look to movie lighting for inspiration. Go to screen grab websites like Evan Richards blog Cinematography Frame Grabs Info about analyzing movie set lighting: http://wanderingdp.com/cinematography/cinematography-school-lighting-ratios-101/
Please. Skill has nothing to do with being an artist. You can vomit syringes and blood onto a canvas and say it's a commentary on the life of a starving fine-arts artist in today's consumerist society and be called an artist. All you need is A) a Sincere Message to Communicate, or B) Bullshitability 101. Actually, that…
Their jobs page is hilarious... The animator post is just a bunch of big words for "I don't know what im talking about". Its basically telling you what an animator is and does. Not what you will be doing at that specific company. Animators 101. The fact they list off the principles of animation is just very noob to me.

Sweet work everyone @aesir, that's looking good man! @Makkon, that's a neat tutorial, you should just take from it what you can and incorporate into yourself. No need to constantly use the formula, but the technique still helps whenever it needs to. Some more from me: How to draw shoes 101: Playing with squares:
Mileage: 1823.2 Time to hit the road for the second to last leg of this little escapade. Still haven't decided whether I want to take the coastal 101 or inland on 5... 11+ hours of driving vs 8+ hours. "The view" isn't so much a concern as "how damn tired I am when I get to Arcata".
Right, as promised here is the wire shot. Like I said, it's messy so I'm in no way someone you should take 101's from. To me, as long as the model looks good then it's sufficient for rendering and baking. You only really need to worry about good topology when it's for animation or movie work... Wire
Not an art video but basically what comes close to being Gamedev Economics 101 (helpful when deciding when to bail out from a studio or whether you'll stick with a winner).

Yes sadly that's a weakness of Bush's. You'd think in his 8 years of tyrannical rule he would have gotten past dictator 101. Incidentally it would have solved the Guantanamo problem also.
