Hey, you guys are welcome, I've gotten a lot out of online communities including polycount, so I just try to give back as much as I can ;) The Avatar stuff came from a Yahoo behind the scenes movie, I think this one: http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/avatar/extended-featurette-creating-the-world-of-pandora There were a…
So I put some time aside today and applied to as many businesses as I could today (over 100) . My one fear I have though is timing. I recall around this time employers have already begun to hire people (because of summer). So I'm hoping my job applications aren't for nothing. I also made sure to hand in double or more…
Experience in multiple disciplines is always attractive to developers. Just because you are working at an iPhone developer, doesn't mean you can't work on your own portfolio work. Let's not forget that iPhone/iPad developers are going to be the next big thing, considering the install base when compared to next gen…

I've been working freelance quite a bit, mainly doing low poly work. Obviously to get a job at a studio like Raven Soft or Human Head "Biggest…

Just want to say thanks for your help everyone, took it to a computer shop and they said two things, 1. The i7 7700k won't work on my ASRock z170 pro4s motherboard because it is an old motherboard and it can't run the BIOS update for the 7th gen CPU since it can only be done by display. So I had the choice of either going…
[ QUOTE ] Until your diffuse maps show a good understanding of definition, detail. colour richness, the qualities of different materials etc etc, don't try and mask them with the extra "next-gen" stuff. Because, not only is it not going to work visually, you're also going to turn off a load of people at GDC that…
Actually the next Intel and AMD lines have been tested already, and intel is ahead considerably. The new chipset is due this fall if you can wait that long. AMD prices should plumet with the release. I'm a systems engineer if you have any specific questions. 800 bucks wont get you much i'm afraid. Not enough for a decent…
