Work on your skills. I think this "omg learn Chinese" panic that we see in certain parts of the world is ridiculous. China won't be there forever. The cheap jobs will move to Vietnam, Cambodia and eventually they may just as well move back home again. There's good reasons for and against outsourcing. Outsourcing isn't as…
Sorry to dig this up but have any of you seen the movie? I saw it the other day. Not very impressive really. [ If you want to see it still then maybe dont read on ] In my opinion the plot lacks motivation and the main character is not really likeable. It has an 18 certificate but honestly they never really show the…
This week I started working on the blockout for the sniper rifle and focused on building a strong foundation for the overall shape and proportions. My main goal was to establish the base forms and get a clean, readable silhouette before moving into any high-detail work. So far I’ve modeled the butt pad, cheek piece, sling…

That way I could tap a button once for face, twice for verts, and so on. I really like the way UDK handles switching between the move/scale/rot tools with spacebar and I'd like to do…

I'm learning Blender right now for product design visualization. I hit this specific roadblock and want to nail this skill so I can…
It isn't exclusive to the games industry, but it can be a lot more direct and ongoing. Consider, if you will, a gaming conference. You go to a booth to check out a new game from some company. You walk up to the rep and ask them questions, and no matter what you asked them they start explaining really simple obvious things…
Hello Everyone I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, I just got a dell T3500 workstation at my office it came with the FirePro v5900 graphics card, as you can see in the image Im getting crazy display issues when in vert mode. In this case when I'm in vert mode and using the move tool max displays verts for the…
Hello! My name is James Vermillion. I'm a trading card illustrator for Spin Master and Universal Pictures, and I do illustration for comics/publishing as well. I'm looking for more work right now, because job security is always a question for us artists nowadays, and bills are expensive. Feel free to peruse my portfolio,…
