Back when America was founded they didn't think the "people" were smart enough to vote for themselves on issues, but would instead vote for whoever they knew. So they came up with this electoral thing to insure some bonehead didn't win the election. They would consider how the populace voted but didn't have to adhere to…
This would be fairly easy to start, if the leaders and community members who post badass art put a little extra words in their posts, and set an example. It doesn't have to be what seems to be the standard "DO THIS OR REPORT THEM" mentality of a few recent threads, its awesome when people include it in their threads, but…
generally.. any argument i hear about UDK not being able to support the geometry is complete rubbish. here's a few notes. 1. UDK occludes all nonseen geometry, therefore if you are inside a building, in a room, nothing else is being rendered on the outside of that room until you walk out of it. an object behind another…
I'd suggest just hand painting out the issues you're having. Once you let go of the idea that a bake has to be "perfect" your workflow decreases big time. So the ears are kinda funky? just paint 127 127 255 (numeric value of color) flat blue over them to fix it. If you want you can take a black and white image of fur and…
I think the best and most cost effective thing would be for one of your team members to be a hardware expert. I myself don't know much about hardware, but my brother knows the stuff inside and out and I have him for advice. I thought I had a fast PC, and then he built another one for me for about $1000 bucks and it is…

I paid a lot for nDo, now they want to force me to buy a totally new license for something that has nDo+ a few more features? then, on the other hand, why would i? is it really that…

By all means, send me all the visitors you can spare. I'll eat them all up because an increase in trafiic means an increase in site value. In your case though, only blogname will profit. Since you initiated the web stats discussion, I thought I would point out the difference between blog and aw stats. Most artists will…
for the financial part of it that I think @ArkOfDarkness brought up in a post further up; I have recently been trying to work out how much a student would end up paying for a 3 year degree in an animation/games art/vfx here in the UK (sorry cannot speak for another country, but should be roughly the same?) on top of their…
