Re: Wi-fit: It kills you.
Sure you do, move out into the country. I plan on it, when I can, for many reasons. If you're thinking "I shouldn't have to move out into the country to avoid this sort of thing", well that's the world we live in. And it's only as valid a mindset as their thinking "I shouldn't have to stop what I enjoy to help this guy's… -
Re: Different T-Pose advantages?
The original T pose was done mostly for modeling convenience, as most everything lines up with XYZ standard grid. The other poses have come about primarily to help with animation weighting and deformation. Any deforming body will have some level of stress or compression through the muscles and skin and clothing etc, to… -
Re: tiling textures only on one corner
There are a few techniques to solve this. 1. Make the terrain mesh so that each quad represents the size of the grass quadrant of your texture. UV each quad to fit into that quadrant. This can be done in 3ds Max using Face Mapping in the UVW Mapping modifier, then scaling down the UVs and moving them to that quadrant. This… -
Re: Education (university and work experience)
I went to the Art Institute of California - San Diego. While a lot of stuff I learned was self taught I did get a lot of connections that helped me get industry leads. I think that was worth a lot of money on it's own. I attended GDC and other conferences for free, even had a free GIGA Pass this year. The point with those… -
Re: To make Monday even worse ...
This sounds like venting, not an actual response to what I wrote. I'm no class warrior and I believe it's entirely possible for exceptional people to warrant exceptional salaries. But managing a risk-averse sequel factory does not strike me as the kind of societal contribution warranting particularly exceptional pay. This… -
Re: Education Advice( how not to become a hobo)
PIG - yeah, missed that. Wasn't mentioned in his post and I didn't bother to look to the left and see his avatar text :P Education for the purpose of getting a Vista is ridiculously important, no doubt. I worked with a bunch of brits at 5000ft, and they talked about all that jazz. Not fun, to be sure. As for those lower… -

Re: How to approach baking clothes
Sorry, I'm completely stressed out of my head at the moment, so my brain is really struggling to process what you mean. I think I'm burning myself out. Or starting to. 😣 I would have liked to have mastered Laura Gallagher's method on Outgang for getting clean topology -… -
Family and the Life of a Game Artist
Is being a family person, and a game artist incompatible in the long run? I mean in the moving part from position to position. It would require your spouse trying to reseek new work every time you moved, or stay while you worked halfway across the nation. Thus weeks without seeing one another. Not to mention the hours you… -
Have you ever fully raged at a game? If so, what game?
I've had an interesting experience with Monster Hunter Freedom U this last couple weeks and wanted to hear your own humorous but equally disturbing stories on the subject of game inspired fits of psycho behaviour. I've never been too susceptible to raging whilst gaming, but man... Monster Hunter. Actually broke my PSP…
