Thanks guys, especially to everyone that replied to my survey :) I've now got over 60 replies, so that's good for me to start analysis on the results and to draw conclusions from with a reasonable margin of error/confidence level. Many thanks! So... that's the documentation bit out of the way for now... so now I'm thinking…
Avanthera - Sorry it took so long to reply! Thanks so much for the feedback! I had read it but I felt bad if I replied with no actual work. And I agree with a lot of your points and thanks for reminding me of the thick to thin, I was too focused on designing that I forgot a lot of design fundamentals haha. Personally no.4…

I've recently discovered a windows file manager that has officially replaced my windows explorer. I haven't seen a post about this, so I thought I'd bring it up. The program is called Xplorer2 and it displays a file tree, 2 window panes, and it has tabs that you create in each pane. If you're like me you'll have multiple…
Greetings, people of Q2PPM! Here are my new skins for Quake 2! Wait... what year is it? Oh yes! Happy 20th, Polycount! XD All joking aside, I have been going through Sam Nielson's course "Fundamentals of Lighting" on Schoolism. I've also been looking for a way to apply the information to hand-painted textures. I figured…
I'm currently working on my first demo reel piece, it is a ship/submarine wreck in the middle of the desert with a house built around it. I won't be modeling the human/camel, so I'll change up the composition a bit. I'm considering putting a cactus or something in place, however at the moment I have the truck over there.…
