Hey guys. I'm Centurion coordinator for the new HL2 mod 'Heatwave'. Most of us are from the team that made Reaction Quake 3. www.rq3.com . Anyway, Heatwave is a totally new, ground up project that we've been laying out over the past six months. Now that the SDK's out we're ready to get started, however even though our team…

The Art Institutes for me was a place I spent all my time in the computer labs. I met other really…
I totally hear you. I've been there before, but it can get better! :) The trick to learn about school is that your GPA and your degree/certificate do not mean a damn thing to 99% of the game employers out here.

Androgynous characters are all the rage, hello look at the Final Fantasy games. In FF you are either a hermaphroditic magic wielding adolesent or you are a cute fluffy cat looking thing. It looks good, I have some issues with the shadow or left leg I can't tell if its shadow, fog, or a leg? I am guessing leg that you…
Wow. Ror, since when did you become Captain of Negativity, and Psuedo Psychology? I have to take the opposite tack here. I feel that the boards are an invaluable source of inspiration, and motivation for me personally. I remember 1 thing that someone here said that helped me fundamentally as an artist. He said "...I just…
No, it works on ALL triagles. Read it carefully, I'm not multiplying the height x width, I'm doing a cross-product between two edge vectors, and the definition of the magnitude of a cross product is that it is the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. (from…
