Re: EA lays off 600 workers.
Maybe I'm a bit sympathetic now that I'm part of the Evil Ampire, or I see them trying to improve, but layoffs aren't necessarily times for company bashing. There are times, such as the recent Lucas or Midway layoffs, where the action is another manifestation of deep-seated problems and does not address the issues. The… -
Re: Cottages
i use dreamhost.com, 1.5gb storage, 35gb transfer, unlimited mysql queries(incase i run a forum!), 99.9uptime, free domain registration andreregistration, humorous monthly newletters, all for 11 bucks a month. Also, from time to time they'll randomly increase your storage space and tranfer limits, no charge.. it's kinda… -
Re: Forgive Me
Hi, I sort of don't like where you have your detail at the moment. I think you could easily get away with making the arms out of 6 to 8 sided cylinder. Is your character supposed to be 1000 polys? If your character is supposed to be less than 800 polys you'll want to make the arms 5 sided and start the legs at 6 sided. The… -
Re: developing a game art course
I think you may want to make the class an "intermediate" class, so that you can make sure that the people coming in, that want to, allready have traditional art skills. The other thing you might want to do, is to give the students an experience of not only the basics of asset creation, but also of the transformation of… -

Re: Portfolio Site Idea - Need Feedback
Don't give me a cropped thumbnail. I want to see the whole thing, the point of thumbnails is so I can see the whole of all your things on one page, and click the ones I want to see closeup. I want to see the textures full-browser-width. 800 pix is a good width to use. JPEG them to level 6 or 7 in Photoshop, so they load… -
Re: next gen woes?
Frankly, I don't enjoy making next-gen artwork. The programming is great, I love messing around with stuff with it, but making the artwork for crap like normal mapping and stuff.. it's just no fun for me, I don't like it. I prefer the old way of making low poly (and I'm not talking about the 'new' low poly of 3-4,000… -

Re: Autodesk Mudbox 2009 Trial
I heard if you send something like $800 to autodesk they'll give you unlimited days on your trail. Alternatively, you could format your hd, reinstall windows and the trail every 12 days -
Re: Friday night fights: CodeRED: Alien Arena
Is the server US based? Too bad if it is, I would love to try it, but pings higher than 80ms are just no fun to play.
