Re: Tips for doing freelance work...
What racer and Kwramm say are 100% right. Also having done alot of freelance (not game related but graphic design related, still creative field and design) I can say the following. If you're required to write up a contract, my contract and quote are one and the same, so it works like this: Client approaches me to do work.… -
Re: Hi All... Care to answer a few easy questions?
Hey Joel, Welcome to the Polycount forums and to games development in general! That is a mammoth post indeed but those are the best kind, i'll break it down and answer it bit by bit.

Re: Getting creative with your resume; yes or no?
Ive written about this before but ill touch on it again. Context is king. Think about who is going to be viewing your resume. most likely HR types and Producers. less artistic, more business leaning people.

Re: Vector images via Scaleform in Material Editor
do you mean using a scaleform movie in a material? This is possible, however the workflow has not been improved upon in a while, which is why its not fully documented yet (sorry!). You have to jump through some hoops as a result unfortunately. The one catch will be that it has to exist in a level, and can only be previewed… -
Re: Sketchbook: Luke003
Thanks for the replies guys. @TaylorAnimated - Thanks, I'm going to pay special attention to the proportions of my next character. I realize that this one is an anatomical nightmare.

Re: Vertex color BlendMasked cgfx maya shader

Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?

Re: Xbox and PlayStation, hacking group has disabled their services
I was aiming to get some BF4 playing done on my PS4 with my brother during xmas since we both have time off. Been unable to all day. So we thought that given that EA has a 7 day trial for BF4 on the PC we could possibly do that instead. Nope, vast majority of the day battlelog did not respond. No servers found, no stats,… -
