I like it, but there's a couple things bugging me. For one, that cannon is extremely shiny for how beat up it looks. I'd rework it to be either less weathered or less shiny. Secondly, you seem to have a lot of unfinished stuff in your game art category, like the lighting test scene or the catapult with only a diffuse. I'd…
Instead of using a standard truncated cone/tapered cylinder/frustum, I've been rotating the top Ngon a bit, because I feel it looks a bit better. I was wondering what the community thought of this. I realize this isn't the most interesting of shapes, nor does this show massive visual differences. But I feel that this…
[ QUOTE ] heh raven a rotary is completely different from a traditional piston motor... you need to do some research before you claim that it's a lousy car... it's not a rx-7 successor but surely it can outdo your fwd saabs. [/ QUOTE ] I never said anything of the kind. What I said what I believe the car is ugly, and I…
You can put a PC in the living room pretty straightforwardly...more so if it's small...and the overall experience is pretty similar to today's consoles, which are not error-free and straightforward to set up in any version of reality. As for exclusives, that's a much better argument for PC than it is for consoles. I need…
I think you might be overvaluing internships. For one good ones are very rare, and secondly they aren't the only way in to this industry. Moving isn't necessary, you can save a BOATLOAD by living at home, use the extra money to fund other forms of education through dvds, quick but intense educational sessions accross the…
Just a random thought: It might be better to aim ahead of your competitors rather than be content to catch up to their previous milestones, and simply lift pages from last season's Autodesk playbook. I actually subbed to Modo indie 901, because I figured that for that price, I could afford to keep it around just for…
I'm not so sure our industry is existing beyond its means, just beyond the means at which publishers are confident they will turn a decent profit. Publishers want the same piece of the pie so we lose out before they do. When faced with an issue of waning demand they cut back on supply. With the GFC people either have far…

There's a bit more Angelina Joline in that model than I think is warranted, but that's mostly personal taste. That and the freakishly blue eyes. Now...where did I put that pic... To me, the appeal of Lara as a character was always those magnificent - the, uh, larger-than-life characterization. Toby Gard designed her as…
I'm in the same boat so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt but since I'm shirking my own job hunt right now I wanted to give some blunt input. I think the presentation of your work sucks and is doing a disservice to your models. Basically - * Each DP cuts off most of the model and gives the viewer a hard time…
