If you work with people from other cultures it usually helps to be as explicit as possible to avoid communication, mentality and cultural misunderstandings. Thinking you can give a brief intended e.g. for a UK artist to e.g. a Chinese artist is one of the beginner mistakes many studios who tried outsourcing "cuz it's…
Do yourself a favor and just get a DVD drive. They're very cheap these days and come in handy for burning backups. If you want fast reads you should get two smaller drives that are inexpensive and put them in a RAID 0 configuration. Very fast. Two 128 GB SSD's, even if they're slower, will be faster in a RAID 0 (striping)…
Edit: Ninja'd The memory is shared across the system. You won't get 2GB of video memory; both machines have a 32MB read buffer from system memory connected to one bridge. I'd like to know where Blaizer buys his hardware, because six years ago I was still using a 512mb Geforce 6600 GT on a twin Pentium 4 rig with 1gb of…
I wouldn't say don't do the internship as it could be a really great opportunity for you and get you that foot in the door. As it's at a AAA company that could be really valuable experience. A past company I worked at took on a relative of a client as an intern so I know sometimes the company will do this as a favour to a…

Every studio I've ever worked for (or even heard of) have performance evaluations, and multiple layers of management, and approval process that REQUIRES approval of superiors. And isn't…

Here's a few links I've come across recently, maybe they'll help some of you out - http://careerpowerups.com/…

[/ QUOTE ] yeah, i used to have a 50 inch tv.. untill the darn thing started having serious convergence problems (in the processing side of the image, not the tubes)... which would have costed too much to fix. recently i bought…
Its odd that never 'really' get angry on line, but am quite the angry type in real life( well only if I am really getting pissed with someone. I am more of the per 128 type in real life ie I tend to speak my mind, but nothing i read online tends to get me 'that' hot under the collar. talking about civility, if I ever pass…
Going with one 128^2 map for the majority, and a 64^2 map for the pilot and the legs (those giant feet just wouldn't fit with good enough texel size). UVing is also when I really get to reduce the last bits I can as I'm forced to look at everything closer - managed to take off 32 more polygons with no real visible changes…
