400 USD is a good sum of money when you can eat out reasonably well for 2 USD per day. If you're paying around 2mil VND to rent a fairly reasonable place and living non-extravagantly, you'll end up with more than half your pay still left over at the end of the month. After two years, you're not going home poor, you'll have…

I beleive the efficiency thing was that a fully loaded car was slightly more efficient than a fully loaded train over a long distance - 400 miles or so. when it comes to urban areas the fule efficiency of the car drops considerably. As for buses, no idea, but in my OWN UNIFORMED opinion, I'll state with no proof, simply…
Hey check out the Site Threadless.com i believe. you can post up this type of stuff and people rate it and if it gets a high enough rating then the company buys your design for 400 bucks and gives you an additional 100 dolalrs to buy stuff from it's store. additionally alot of other t-shirt companies check that site for…
Well that chart can be misleading because it is averaged across all levels of experience. So an Art Director with a GED making 120k a year, and a junior artist with a GED making 40k a year, would average 80k a year, which doesn't tell you anything really. I think that's why salaries appear to be irrelevant of education…
Thanks for the feedback. I can see normal maps fine with my current card when I play games or render out a scene. The card doesn't see real time shaders that require directX 9c or open gl higher than 1.1. Do the latest detonators drivers update those? I can seen some of the directx 9 shaders in XSI and Max but not the…

I guess it is down to how big of a prodction you are working on. I've worked on 40-60 hours games with huge and varying worlds. One particular one had different races spanning across the galaxy, and due to the fact that the engine could only have 1 unique name per asset in the entire game, you had to have perticular…
It's a little better, but it's still not great. The biggest issue as I see it is the gross disparity between hours worked and hours paid between the game industry and other industries. If you are a programmer in just about any other industry, you're pretty much guaranteed a respectable salary and a comfortable 40 hour work…
I'd say the fact that the movie hits pretty much the same story beats as a new hope is a very deliberate attempt to banish the prequels from people's minds as well as remind people and get others up to speed with a movie that came out a long, long time ago. I think the probably overdid it, really, but I can understand why…
