Regarding your Animation Mentor suggestion, Spark...think it will be hard to get involvement. Students would need fully rigged/weighted characters (they don't teach rigging at AM) and already have a pretty big work load if they are still at AM. Alumni may be interested, tho, but don't know how AM would pitch to them.…
Agree as well. It was my first E3 this year, and I was bored to death with the show. I just don't get who the show is trying to get the attention of really. Not only that, but there was just too much press. Had I not been in the industry it seems all I needed to do is start "nitzmoff's game reviews.com" for all of 2 days…
I remember when i thought there was no hope for me when looking for a job and 18 months passed and still wouldn't find anything. Now 5 years later am frequently asked to join this or that place, some managers even send me a phone call saying they got my phone number from this guy and would like to know if im available for…
I, and everyone I know, has since uninstalled that game because of the horrendous performance issues. We have people like me with decent rigs, that get 6fps in decent fights and then others with $2500 rigs that are pulling 15-18 fps in the same fights.

Not to be a turd in the hamper here, but all of the major supermarkets here in the UK do home delivery for the same price (and sometimes less) than a physical shop done by yourself. Is there not a similar scheme in the US? ASDA have a particularly good one and they are owned by the Wall Mart group =/ Although, I suppose…
That plug in is shit, pure and crap, sure the videos look nice and all. The probmlem is that it resets itsself every few seconds and to get something like what they have it would take you a week of tweeking and saving every ten seconds. Its bloody shit, hit that i spent the last 18 hrs trying to get to work rite. On the…
Aside from all the other factors mentioned. I think the low wage on artist reflects the field itself(Similar to QA). Is becoming easier to do, and in many cases the entry level is open to anyone 18 years and older. Unlike other fields, which have a more institutional path. One of my colleagues best compares it to workers…
