A first principle approach to drawing.
EDIT: I rewrote this first part for clarity. If you are a beginner and you are watching a skilled artist draw, you will probably notice that they are skilled at creating depth, yet they are not using complex perspective construction to do this. They are just freehanding and drawing as if they are almost 3d modelling.… -
Re: Looking for a list of good, accredated collage
cheers otomoto. I have a suggestion / statement for you. DO NOT GO TO COLLEGE FOR A GAME ART OR DESIGN PROGRAM. (emphasis on the period) The one exception to this might be the guildhall.. About me: I started on a computer animation degree before game design was even thought of seriously. The program consisted of a… -

Re: How effective are game design courses?
I teach game design at an institution that has not yet been mentioned here. I fully agree with most of these posts - for $70K - $80K for a Bachelor's is outrageous - I got my Master's from a traditional university for less than $30K - less than a decade ago. However, my degree is not in "Game Design" but in "Technology,"… -
Re: 7Plus - Awesome free program
I read that feed too and tried using it to see if I can replace my FastStone Capture for image sharing.

Re: 3dsMax 2019
thought'd i'd share your post from facebook. Here is the LONG list if what happened between 3dsMax 2018 - 2019 Rendering Advanced Wood OSLMap Out of the box works in any renderer supporting the classic 3ds max shader API (Scanline, vRay, Corona etc.). It also means it works outside of renderers, anywhere in 3ds max where a… -
Re: Texturing workflow - newbie questions
Right, maybe i should have phrased it better. You'd want to find a method that works for your needs and that is efficient. So again, while photo sourcing is a legit way to do things, it is generally more difficult to work with them as you have to generate everything from the diffuse.
