Hello fellas, here's something of a tutorial for beginners, or perhaps advanced artists new to the game art. I use the word beginner loosely because this is NOT a complete step by step tutorial and it assumes some familiarity with the software. I made this as a demonstration for my classmates to introduce them to the…
Plain and simply, most people here have a passionate hate for flash-based image viewers. and its understandable. its slow, annoying, and prevents your work from showing up as good as it can. ie: if i dont stop moving my mouse for at least five or so seconds, the flickr bar will block the information and images at the tops…
The problem I run into is that when you call not being able to stop playing wow an addiction then it puts it on par with substances that no matter who takes them they will become addicted to them. If you give anyone heroin, they will become addicted to it. If someone plays wow there is a good chance that they'll quit on…
I enjoy how youll take criticism from people who are being paid to never tell you when something sucks or hit you hard with crits. Lets face it, criticism isn't always helpful. If you don't know when to stop and start over youll be stepping left and right in shit. I have quite a few times told my friends in my art class…
@metalliandy NIce! Yeah it does act a bit as DRM. @McGreed I do the hidden name in my personal texture work or as a sign or something in a scene. It's more fun that way. Have to watch that stuff professionally though. @Nitewalkr Your stuff doesn't always get saved with your resume/CV though. My resume/CV is only available…
@BIGTIMEMASTER Thanks for the critique man. I've got until Monday around noon to finish this, so I'll be chipping away at it during the weekend. I agree on the age thing. It was difficult trying to make the steps, arch, and shrine all look the same age. I'll be updating the texture for the gate for sure, removing some of…
[ QUOTE ] i think for the future, it's best to keep such substanceless comments to yourself, many developers from all kinds of studios browse these forums and i think they'd appreciate critiques with a little more volume than "uber-shit, n00b, and wasted franchise"This thread was for people to share their opinions on the…
[ QUOTE ] I've been wondering the same. I read an article about the corn produced gasonline back when we were paying $1.80 (you know, a couple months ago). It always amazes me how we hear about "new techiniques/techonolgies" yet we rarely see them become anything. Makes me wonder if special interest groups are able to stop…

Well, my brother's ac adapter for his dell laptop stopped working, so I went online to Dell's site to see if I could find a replacement. Only to find out that there was a recall for that particular adapter. Apparently the adapter would overheat to the point of burning someone or causing a fire. So I called in to get the…
