[ QUOTE ] well right now there is no reason to have faster internet, and there have been lots of reports of super fast internt, like this one, with a transfer rate of 2 gigs a second here [/ QUOTE ] You sorta missed both of my points. 1) If digital distribution goes big, there will be a reason for the internet to be faster…
It'd also be nice if some things like baking of normal maps behaved the same in Max, Maya, and Mudbox. I don't see this acquisition as a bad thing though. Autodesk didn't have a digital sculpting tool and was missing out. I don't think they'd buy skymatter and stagnate Mudbox, I think they'll actually pump more money into…
Have a look at: http://www.digitaltutors.com I've followed a lot of their training and can't recommend it enough! They have courses covering pretty much everything, even some game-workflow specific sets. Their 'next-gen' game character series is great, it goes through the entire character workflow from modelling a base…
Hello! I’m a Games Art student with a big, ongoing character design brief that I would love to show and get some critique on! My brief was to design, concept and create both in traditional 3D and digital 3D a concept based on myself but from a completely different cultural background. After some internet research research…

Or you can get your company to pay for it ;) It really is just a huge experience to take in. For me at least, my head just came back swimming with ideas and wanting to jump back into work. It's a full week of being surrounded with incredibly talented and driven people in all areas of computer animation and digital effects.…
Gonna have to agree with Joao a bit. Don't get me wrong, I can understand the sentiment of wanting to be in a classroom setting, but really with the resources available via the web/bookstore...it's kind of a no brainer. To keep it short, after the traditional 4 year college bit, I went to a trade school that focused on…
Does it make you work faster? Yes. Does it make you better? Depends on the person, I think. Because really, drawing and painting is all about how you problem solve and your mental ability to perceive and render out shapes, forms, and values. I think the physical hand eye coordination is a really small part of what makes a…
I agree with anthony about animating what you're passionate about - it will turn out better than something you're forcing yourself to produce. It also depends on what part of the industry you want to get in to (games / vfx / feature film). If you include a lot of cycles then you're tailoring it for games. If you're…
