You know him in the videogame art community as PhillipK, the one writing all those amazing tutorials as of late. I wanted to talk with him about who he is, why he's writing these tutorials (really, what's in it for him?) and where he's headed in the future. And if his desk setup (pictured above) is any indication, he's a…

Hey polycount forum, I am currently doing research about crowdsourcing in video games for my bachelor thesis and I am looking for people who create content for the Steam Workshop to fill out my survey.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone could help me with this. We're making an adventure videogame, and are starting to rig, animate and implement the previously modelled and textured 3d assets.

I don't think that it would be a problem for the CV. You will work as an artist not someone trying to attract people inside the building so they spend money. Regarding the ethical stuff, in my opinion if a person want to throw their money away at the slots they will do it anyway. It's not that if you don't accept the job…

I have not owned a console since I was 11 and the Magnavox Odessey introduced the space age wonder of pong. I did play alot of Mario in the late 80's from my roomate's nintendo. But that was the last controller that I felt comfortable with. By the time I seriously considered xim360/3. Red Dead and Brutal Legend already…
I'm progressing great in my japanese studies with rosetta 3. I also used it to learn (very) basic french last year. (never got past the "language basics" lessons) If you're dedicated to learning the language it's worth the money, and it will be cheaper than classes by far! I enjoy the process of learning, its more…
