If you're in the US and you get a free college education: TAKE IT! I went from CS student (undergrad diploma) to art student, and over 10 years later to CS student (masters). I worked as character and environment artist, and later as tech artist and tools developer. My interests changed during my career, and having that…
I agree with Neox, and I would recommend to not directly assume something is done in a certain way unless you verify it yourself or take it from verified sources. I don't know how this result would be achieved in Nuke, as I am unfamiliar with the requirements/capabilities of that software; but I know of a couple videos…

I was in the same boat as you a while back. I see this as the path of the artist. Let me lay it out for you so you can see where you are on it. -The artist's path starts as a child, and you like art so you draw a lot. -As you get older, you are better at drawing than your friends and that gets you attention, so you draw…
Hi all! I started a Facebook thread asking all my dev friends what website, resource, or school was responsible for first getting them into games, and the discussion ended up being *really* interesting. There are ways of breaking into games that I'd never imagined, and it opened my eyes. I wanted to share that link, and…
