Re: Moving to Seattle, need advice or roommate
Bellevue can be an expensive place to live, the median income is $85,166 and Averages $142,054 so the price of housing follows those trends. I'll use myself as a rough template since I work at a smaller studio and might be making about the same or a little less. There as been a condo boom over the last few years and most… -
Re: Obama on 60 minutes
Quokimbo - those are some good questions. I believe our currency was attached to a gold standard until about 1970, when Nixon removed it. It then became what is called a "Fiat Currency", which means a currency based on nothing, except maybe our reputation. Essentially, printed out of thin air. What is also rather… -
R&D - Topology and Female features
Hi! I decided to push away from sculpting for the traditional approach so that I could get the full experience. This is my first time managing my topology as I've done, but I want to take it farther. I've found CGI and VFX such an interesting area to explore and just want to make my works more accessible, functional and… -

Re: Explain AI Pathfinding?
I don't know Unity's specific implementation, however I can give you some general background on AI agent navigation. Generally speaking an AI entity in a game doesn't know a thing about the world around it that it isn't directly told. They tend to obey the same game logic rules as whatever the class they are controlling is… -
Re: Violence in Video Games - Research Paper
and this once again rears its head. :) glad the work I did a while ago is continuing to be useful. Here: I compiled a spreadsheet of violent crime data from the FBI from 1990-2007 plotted against number of available shooter games on the market, I think via moby games. Of course many shooters are available for years after… -
Re: Dwarven Fighter
Sorry for the lack of updates. It was a long weekend. But I'm back! and with hair! Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how things turned out, and I think it will bake well enough. You'll notice some weirdness at the point where the individual strands intersect with the scalp. I created a series of alphas which were meant to… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
I'm not sure if this reel is good enough to get you a job, yet. The major thing that stands out to me right now is your timing. Everything is too slow with very little anticipation on any of your action. I'll focus on the fight scene at the beginning to hopefully show you why. The gut punch is a very good example of the… -
Re: Is it a good idea to create map using in-game map editor for a level designer?
Ahh, the BSP/brush versus blockout-mesh argument has come up a lot over the years. It never ends, and I've been on both sides of it at times. BSPs are super old technology--and the authoring tools for them are old as well....so yeah, they DO suck. And not only that, but modern GPUs are built to handle mesh data much better… -
Re: Extracting normal maps from very high poly models in ZBRUSH?
