It really depends on what exactly would you like to do. If you want to learn basics and some what advanced subjects of 3d. Digital Tutors is the way to go. They also teach Unity now so You should find a thorough documentation there. I find Eat 3d's tutorial(s) missing few things for those who are looking for step-by-step…
[ QUOTE ] 'the industry'? So do you now mean videogames or graphic design, or are you still putting them both in the same basket? Whilst I agree that the average 3D artist salaries are too low, with certain stars aligned it's perfectly possible in either profession to earn very good money. I'm glad you made the right…
Hey all! So after 3 years at Digital Extremes, it's time to close that chapter and start a new one! I'll be starting at Eidos Montreal early July! :poly142: I'm super pumped / scared shittless but I can't wait. I was hoping if we had some artists from Eidos Montreal here (which we do, some lurk though) I would love to get…

I think it will take a while for these packages to catch up with the next gen, but I don't think its a stretch to imagine being able to download Cryengine and develop a game…
Not only are you ignorant, but you're really ignorant. Consumers choose what good art is. You think they can all make art? No. Therefore everybody's opinion matters. Critiquing on technique is different, but everyone does have eyes and a sense of style. The fact that your sentence about tablets being "the new paper" was…
Most other software companies in the EU have arranged themselves with software re-sales. In fact, software re-sales have been quite common before some clever lawyer types thought of putting anti resale clauses into EULAs. I don't see why games should be treated differently than any other type of software. Although I don't…
The Graphire original used to be quite good, actually. I had one up until very recently when I changed to an Intuos2. My friend has a Graphire3, and they are not as good as the original one - the drivers are less functional, and the tablet itself has less features (no eraser tip on the end of the pen). If you're very…
