Re: 9/11 Loose Change
As an addendum to my last comments I think it's very possible that there are deliberate attempts at providing misinformation to the public in the way of conspiracy theories so that details of real issues become obscure. I'll cite as an example GWB's recent criticism for allowing illegal wiretapping of American folks and… -
Re: the UK is a shit hole
[ QUOTE ] Speak up too honestly about the stupidity of living your life by a book or and blowing up nations of little brown people who you know nothing about and get slapped around by good ole boys in the south of america.

Re: Basic questions about video game assets pipeline
Thank you for your detailed answers ! Honnestly you both gave me the kind of answers I needed. But to make sure I understood : a viable worflow as environnement artist ( I say environnment but let's go with props, and modulars kits to build scenes ) would be : 1) Modelling or sculpting the high poly mesh, no matter the way… -
Re: How long should I spend on one model?
The simple truth is - if you can't create something in production quality without a time limit you don't have to worry about making it into the industry as you are no where near skill/knowledgewise.

Re: Game Art Education - Need Your Advice
I currently attend a university for Computer Science. It might be different for a game art program but I have so little free time for doing game art that I'm about to just give up on it. For my own schedule (I commute), I take a two hour train ride at 9 AM, go to classes until 6:30 PM, wait for the 7 PM train, take another… -
Re: Why doesn't the game industry unionize already?
From what I know about the IATSE forming which is the major US union for the film industry (actor and crew side, I don't know if it applies to the VFX/ cg side) there were massive strikes for theaters happening because of the dilapidated and dangerous sets. This was later rolled into the movie industry when a lot of… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Right, most of the time what we're talking about is a trivial amount of verts that need to be added to sort out projection issues. Maybe something like 100-200 verts on a complex asset, which on todays hardware is a non-issue. There seems to be this mentality in the industry that all models must be obsessively optimized… -
Re: Retro Games
Why do I like retro games...the main reason for me is nostalgia and I hope you examine that word carefully because it's important for your dissertation. Back when I was 7 years old I got my hands on Donkey Kong Country for the SNES and it has remained one of my favourite retro games due to the fact it is still fun and… -
Re: Online Applications & Connections
Yup! I've got a daily schedule. I keep a written record of who I apply to every day and what I like about their company. After 5-7 days, depending on whether I sent it on a weekend, I'll follow-up to a company in addition to applying to a new one. I've gotten a response around 1 for every 10 that I send out! Though it's…
