The world is always ending for someone. Here is a list of people that have failed to schedule the end of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events When people don't understand something they tend to fear it and think worst case scenario. It helped keep us safe when we where…
Yep thats a pretty good script, I've used it but ultimately found it was limiting for what we needed to do. I'd try it out. If it works, great! If not... well get ready for some fun. Cloth, yea I wouldn't even go there. Even if you've worked with cloth before there is so much experimentation needed to get it dialed in that…
There are two big reasons why I would choose Blender over Modo Indie any day: Linux support and scripting. I'm a Mari Indie subscriber because I can use it on Linux and because I don't see the lack of scripting support and custom shaders as a deal-breaker for a texture painting application, although I'm sure I could make…
animation is popular as always on polycount ;) cool reel. it has more animations that I'd prolly have in my reel, rather than animations that companies "want" to see, at least if I am to believe the people that have told me to put more runs and walks in my reels. fuck those people ;P don't know how much one can crit on…

Software needs to get rid of all the useless redundant shit they have that break the…
Look another long winded post... WEE! Jungle George... I was using www.househunt.com, its good for finding general prices, not good for finding a house, I would use a buying agent when looking for a home. Normally thier services are covered in the sale of the home, so NORMALLY there is no out of pocket expense. My wife and…
Hey, I'll give ya some crits! First off, I would stress this. There are three rules that you MUST follow in order to get interviews: Your very very very best piece of work should come first. Every piece you show that is worse than the best piece will lower the employers opinion of you. If you take a look at an animation in…
I'm not in the mood to gather and upload the ref I have sitting around but here is a straight dump from a bookmark export. Most of these should be valid links and the quality ranges wildly and they are sorted so much better in my bookmarks but fuck it if I'm going to take the time to clean this mess up... Talent Jim…
Epic Games has been quietly working behind the scenes on a M-M-MASSIVE update for Unreal Tournament 3. However, the most exciting news may just be that this is only the beginning - a very small part - of what they have in store... SUMMARY OF MAJOR FEATURES:* Major enhancements to Server Browser * Visual and menu flow…
