Hi polycounters ! 0/ Since a few hours (maybe more) I'm trying to learn and make a custom tool for Maya and my workflow. I have already programmed in C++ in the past, so the Mel language is not so hard to understand for me. The hard part is to find the name of the various function inside maya, but even with that, I still…
eh, what the hell, i'll bite, since everyone else here is an asshole. What modeling application do you use? 3ds max 8 What pluses and minuses does it have? plus: heavily modifiable, got a wide set of tools. minuses: cluttered interface Why would you suggest it for a beginner? i wouldn't. personally i went from a free…
Well i must respond to this surprising post. I can tell by the way you think that you didn't take any courses outside your primary subject.

Thank you a lot for the answers once again guys! I think my ankylosis come more from the fact that I've been around 10 000 Hours on a chair playing world of warcraft all day long, only moving of my chair to go to bed/bathroom when I was a teenager...

Thanks for helping me with my list, Joel. :0D I would love to contribute to a project helping…
Funny thing is I work for Her Interactive. 50-60% of our staff is female so my slant on this rant is a bit skewed. I'm kind of tired of this male vs female games rant everyone gets stuck on. I look at it more of a "drunken frat brat game" Vs "a game with a good story or compelling game play". I guess I have to lump myself…
Well, the first step isn't really to wonder how to do this or that in the so-called "best" way imho ; the first step would be to get one's hands on a material/shader for a 3d app or game engine (or an easily moddable game really) that supports the effect, and use it in practice. Otherwise you're bound to operate on mostly…
