@Praetor187 & Meathead, Thank you:) @shinobix, Thanks, and thank you for the feedback. I'll be texturing it again as part of demo for a class I teach. I will defiantly keep that in mind this time around. @Racanna, No, not really;) The base mesh was modeled in Maya. I haven't updated the text on those high poly images.…
Last night I dreamt that I went back to Shanghai for work. The hotel put me into this crappy room, and didn't even give me the key to get in. So I was totally tired from flying so long, and the time difference that I was wandering around the hotel for a while (like the next day) till I found a couple of my co-workers. We…
I worked on Secret World, and it really got a lot of respect for its story and atmosphere. Just the things I value in games, but I just can't bring myself to play it. Also it's a MMO, and I ain't got no time for that. It's easier now that I'm in outsourcing - we don't work as long on a game for me to truly get bored with…
So having a degree will help a lot, since that will allow your work visa to get processed much easier. There are other studios in the middle east (Ubisoft has a studio in Abu Dhabi, for instance) as well as China and the SEA area that might be of interest to look at (some outsource studios and others are parts of MNCs…
I'm sorry to say this but there was a special either on the radio or PBS explaining why Disney was stopping the creation of 2D films... I didn't bother listening to it though. I think they just want to cut down on costs. Apparently it's "cheaper" to produce a 3D film than a 2D film. The sad part of creating 2D on the…
I agree, but you have to watch out for this one. Some places have QA centers separate from Dev and the chances of crossing over become harder. With that said, it still pays the bills and nets you experience working inside the industry, not a bad job to have while polishing the reel and looking for work. Phone Rep/technical…
if we could game renting like that from steam, it would be cool. as for onlive, I am somewhat in doubts, consoles will just get cheaper and cheaper and the current generation won't go away that soon. So a better experience at a slightly higher price. The idea of having this stuff run on mobile platforms imo would be very…
Cartoons suck now. Blame it all on DiC. I read an article a while back about the decline of animation in the US. It's sad really, and somewhat scary too. Basically, they started outsourcing a ton of the work to cheaper places and cheaper and cheaper until it just made no sense to even bother trying to compete or try as a…
Hey Rorshach, I made some skins myself back then mostly for Swedish clans, dunno if you remember me (okkun_Swemob). Anyways, have you considered outsourcing? I've got an art house in Seattle and we've got some great talent here. Don't want to send you a bunch of stuff if you're only considering hiring people but it's just…
