Re: Question about the email when applying for a job.
Intro Letter Resume Portfolio or link (portfolio or private site) *very important* mention the position you are applying for. Yes this could be suprising but lots of people apply randomly or do not mention what type of positions they want (3D artist, animator etc etc etc). trust me with the numbers of CVs we get, those go… -
Re: Earth Hour 2008
i remember watching that Al Gore movie and everyone that I live with (7 total) made a serious effort to shut off lights, etc. A few months later I want to Niagara Falls and saw the 5 gianormous light bulbs they have on all night every night to make the falls look pretty. I found myself wondering, with all our efforts, how… -
Re: Honey Badger by Q // Texturework & Renders Feedback
Yep. To me there's 2 aspects to this 'narrative' thing I keep going on about. There's the detailing you do to ground and give weight to the asset, things like those smudges and scratches, oiliness etc. that imply this is a real object that has been touched and handled by real people. It doesn't have to be damage/wear per… -
Re: any good wood material tutorials
Have you googled, or looked on youtube? There are a bunch of very respectable ones, and usually the proof will be in how good their final material looks, etc, which makes sorting through the chaff not too difficult. Do you have a particular style of wood you're looking to replicate? You also got some good feedback in a… -

Re: how to have even texel density correctly?
One of the things I really had to wrap my head around when I first started shifting from just making one off props to full environments was: modeling and uving doesn't have to be a linear process. I was accustomed to making a high poly, low, unwrap, pack it all in the 0-1, etc neat-o, I made a model. But when I tried to… -
Re: Wii: super Mario Galaxy
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Immersion is always vital to enjoyment in my opinion. I don't read a book that doesn't immerse me, watch tv show, or a movie. Why would I play a game that doesn't immerse me? [/ QUOTE ] So are you only "immersed" by summer blockbusters that have huge SFX budgets, or is it possible for you to be immersed… -
Re: Settled in Toronto
dead thread revived, but for good reason! i don't want to pollute the GD threads with another thread which is pretty much based on the same topic, so i'm putting this here: i'm in 12th grade at don mills collegiate institute at toronto. i'm a part of the CyberARTS programme, and as a part of our curriculum, we have to… -
Re: The downward salary slope for game artists [Gamasutra article]
Fomori: The story is "more complex" than that. By 1972 several developments were at work. We went off the gold standard, there was the Arab Oil Embargo (the speed limit across the nation was reduced to 55 MPH), gas prices and inflation rose, etc. More women had to enter the work force (not because of "Women's Liberation"…
