Re: Pet Peeve: Sloppy work. Or: How Anal Am I?
I've got you beat on the "anal" department. A list of my pet peeves when working with other people's files (some of these are very 3ds max - centric so bear with me): - People who save our their max files with a single viewport maximized, usually in "User" mode. Upon toggling to a four pane view, you discover that ALL four… -

Hey Polycount, this will be my first post here on the forum :) . I recently started making my first enviroment in UDK. It's alot to learn but I think I got a pretty good grasp of the basics now.

Re: MGS4 + Nintendo Revolution controller revealed :O
I would suggest anyone seeking answers about what Nintendo are trying to pull with this new controller view the TGS Keynote (there is a link on the Nintendo site with slides, which explains more than the videos' shown elsewhere).

Re: [FanArt] Bates Motel/Psycho WIP + CC
Thanks Eric, appreciate that. And sure, I can do that. This is pure high poly rendered with vray. I started with a rough blockout.

Re: Why having Connections doesn´t help you get a Job
Connections help you get a job all the time. The only industry in which that isn't the case is a game studio because you are required to have skill as well provided you want to be a game artist. Basically you need both. Knowing a job just opened up is more than half the battle. Your potential boss knowing that you are not… -
Re: [Substance Designer] random color var by user input and add weight sliders for every color

Re: General dSLR advice
I do not have much to add to what already been said. Just that I shoot everything on M. I hate it when my camera starts doing things I do not like. Specialy with following bugs, insects, bird ect, you do not want your shutterspeed to suddenly drop, or get weird exposures by having it on auto. Specialy keep it on M if you…
