Blender is free, Powerful and is making a name for itself you could learn one of the industry standard apps on the side (Maya/Max) they have student licenses but if you focus all attention on blender now you could just switch over later in life to when you actually need them. Blender has enough tutorials to choke a…
I remember the student download centre for Autodesk actually says 3DS Max is available for Mac; but then the "more info" part would say "Use with Parallels!" or something or other. So they're clearly aware of this and I wouldn't be surprised to see it on Mac in the near future. What are the advantages of having software…
not going to reiterate a lot of what has already been said, but something i was told back in the day when it comes to demo reels: "No one likes your music." That isn't to say its bad (i kinda like pipe-reedy & flute stuff), its just that what you think "is cool, and fits perfect!!" doesn't. There is some interesting stuff…
Before my student loan payments start next month I'm thinking of picking this up.

Interesting. They seem to take their teaching rather seriously. When I was at MIGS (montreal international game summit) most of the students there were more generalist, all seemed to have more programming and film animation knowledge than anything specific to the AAA game industry. Looking at the course curriculum I can…
4 months and counting... Starting to feel hopeless, only had 1 interview (within a week of being laid off) and a major lack of responses since. I'm financially stable right now, but at the beginning of my unemployment it was tough. Jacque's situation sounds awfully familiar, though a lot more severe. Studio hadn't paid me,…
This is a pretty common sentiment, and something a lot of students coming out of school have to learn the hard way. Going to a game art program isn't a garuntee that you'll get a job. You really have to put in the work to get your skills up to industry standard. Going to school can teach you the basics of the process and…
thank y'all. yeah I was looking at legacy apartments. and all the apartments do look great in plano. I just found out on the SMU site that they have a list of 4 places that give SMU student discounts or at least I hope the still do. So I will probably stick with those. I hate how the info your looking for is always in the…
If you can link up with a mod team or maybe some fellow students with a goal to make a small game project for the purpose of learning, that's a great way to get an understanding of what kind of decisions have to be made to get a project finished, how to organize your time, how to balance quantity vs quality, and so on. Of…
