I can empathize with that sentiment, and even frustration of paying for features you wont use but at some point its a bit unrealistic. What if product designers only want modeling and rendering, and the animators only want rigging and animation, and the guy from accounting only wants a damn spreadsheet... We cant really…
I have a feeling autodesk itself doesn't actually know what their stance is on some things. For example, saying this year that we can't use the edu licences in classrooms and we have to pay for them, and then when quite some people have paid updating their licence so it can be used in classrooms after all. So asking one…
Upgrading your CPU without upgrading your motherboard is almost always a futile process. You'll pay $1-300 for a cpu that is 10% faster. If you really want to upgrade you cpu, SAVE that money and put it into a new CPU/Mobo/Ram combo when you can afford it. In this case you could buy a AMD 5000+ off ebay for $100 and get a…
I learned most of the software I use from pluralsight (just basic 101 familiarity anyway). They are great for learning the software, but not so great at teaching you art. That's just not really their thing. However, they do have some pretty decent tutorials covering digital painting and character design for photoshop. If…
amirabd2130 > thanks dude! It's been a while since I last showed any progress on my Shrine. I think I'm done with the sculpt. The hole in the center was a bit rushed so there is that but otherwise I like what I have. So I did a retopo which took a long time and baking (which needs to be improved greatly) and imported…
I agree, Heroes is getting worse and worse. I dunno about you guys but everytime I watch I'm left going "wtf is going on??". I think the first season was awesome because they always had a defined goal/storyline which was "Save the world" and little stories inbetween that helped carry the story along. Now it's all over the…
Seems im not the only one who is turned on by that idea :D . Just as far as usability, make sure the colour selector is very streamlined, and perhaps put in the option to change between a few different colour selectors. Different people like different selectors. Have a look at corel painters selector, thats got to be my…

"Why should we hire you over anyone else we are considering for this position." I just hate places which give you questions from the "HR Idiot's guide to interviewing" book. Or "what's your biggest weakness"... yeah sure I'm gonna tell you the truth, idiot. I'll just tell you the same stupid lie everyone else tells you and…
I'm pretty new to modeling, coming from a CSG level design background, but I'm looking to expand my skills anywhere I can. I'm starting off with some painfully low-poly work to get myself up and running. I've started with a series of skyscrapers to give me some practice with references and very basic structure. First up is…
