Re: Is Histrory Repeating Itself?
Biggest difference here is that Sony isn't in a vacuum. With the PS2 their shortages didn't matter since they still had more shipped than the competition and had a sizeable lead by the time the other consoles arrived. With the PS3 their direct competitor was building up sales in a vacuum and now has a decent lead while… -
Re: Yes! another job phone interview thread!
haha yea Jesse, I'd be sweating it up at about that point. Also, Cold, i've researched the hell out of Colorado, and actually it's the state I've always wanted to live in, since my dad used to take us when i was little on his business trips to Denver. It's about the same if not a little more than the cost of living here… -
Re: Modeling a complex building
Duplicating isn't bad for the processor nor does it always increase the number of draw calls if the rendering pre-process is well done. You can draw a very large number of instanced pieces of geometry with a single draw call. Even still what is expensive GPU wise is state changes, loading and unloading of things, so if the… -
Re: Arizona's new immigration law
The US currently has an unemployment rate around 10%. That's about 15 million American citizens. The total number of illegal immigrants in the US is about 12 million - the number of workers is much smaller. If unemployed Americans wanted to take the jobs that illegals have, there's nothing stopping them. Why aren't they… -
Re: The Fall of the Republic: The Presidency of Barrack Obama
There is a surprising amount of evidence to support anything. Since we're all spouting insane anti government bullshit in here let me bring up some Discordianism to support my point; it's a made up religion from the 50s. The interesting, relevant part is a fundamental tenet of their beliefs, the law of fives: now, it was… -
Re: 60 000 polygons?
It really depends on a number of factors - like rooster says it depends on deadlines (if any), also what methods you're using to build it, how big/detailed the texture has to be. I have no experience of building cars, so I can't give any sort of estimate unfortunately. Junior artists... ehh, their key role can be anything… -

Re: Portfolio Review and critique
I am simply just adding a response, nothing more, i am not on a high horse or a low horse i like what i do and i present my own work, i do not see my work as any better than anyone else's just fyi. Dark black-grounds usually aren't that great &/or it takes some really technical eyes and know-how to get right, imho. Quick… -
quick mass export and renamer script
Yo, I find exporting and renaming objects and centering objects to 0 to be some of the more common things I do when getting stuff ready for the various projects. I didn't like the way MAX handled any of this stuff so I wrote a script www.envartist.com/MAXScripts/WDIScripts.ms to install: download and save to the following… -
Re: Help me get more optimized with this scene
The important thing is the total number of materials on screen in any given frame (Actually it's state changes in the render pipeline that matter but we'll stick with materials for the purposes of explaining things to artists) The number of materials on a given building really doesn't matter If you have 500 buildings and…
