I think reading is something that is definitely for everyone - Like games, I believe that everyone can find a book they will enjoy. I don't care if you read one book a year or 20, or if you never finish a book you start, but I think reading can be brilliantly inspiring and mind opening. I go through phases of reading 5…
Jobs bought Pixar because he wanted to prove to Apple and the CEO who fired him that he 'gets' hardware better than anyone. Pixar has been making the Pixar Image Computer at that time and CG animation was just a dream of Lasseter and Catmull. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar_Image_Computer Jobs eventually gave them their…
Yeah, it was the fixed release date by EA. Some of the cut content is still in the files, like when the undead were supposed to invade the city, and there was meant to be a party system too. On the other hand they've used the engine in SVGA for the Crusader games some time later. U9 was actually third person and the…
Try orienting your geometry 90 degrees off, then reset X-Forms. Resetting the xform is just resetting the matrix3 in relation to the geometry's current position, orientation, and scale. That has a tendancy to get messed up if you are doing transforms on the object level rather than through modifiers and/or sub-object…
I have the Silver Package and it was free here. Something that kinda ircs me though is it plays like cack unless you have a quite powerful computer. Sadly the new 'optimisations' seem to have done the exact opposite on my working/everyday system. So can only play on my beasty. Something else that irks me is that sadly…
[ QUOTE ] Go to as many art schools as you can find. Good luck finding the one that will give you the skills of Hawkprey or Rockstar. In the meantime I'll be teaching myself. [/ QUOTE ] I can promise you with utter certainty that without the education you recieved you would not find teaching yourself so easy. This is a bit…

It's difficult to find a well written tutorial that covers everything useful...but once you've figured it out once, and have all the files prepared for future projects...it's incredibly easy. I've written a tutorial for this. The first part is XSI, but should be able to follow using any tool that exports to SMD.…
Yeah, accualy jkmakowka has a good point. At one point my system just started acting funny. Funny spots on the screen. Sluggish responce time. Then it totaly locked up, i started smelling burning electrical parts so I freaked out and turned off my computer immediately. I sniffed around the exaust area but for some reason I…
For the moment, this is future-tech. Even if they can get a viable prototype, they won't have nearly enough customers with fat enough pipes to make it financially viable. This is the sort of thing you need fiber-optic bandwidth to pull off. Besides, you are going to get the best performance on a system like this from games…
