I teach game design at an institution that has not yet been mentioned here. I fully agree with most of these posts - for $70K - $80K for a Bachelor's is outrageous - I got my Master's from a traditional university for less than $30K - less than a decade ago. However, my degree is not in "Game Design" but in "Technology,"…
Hey polycount. I'm a junior animation student at NYU, and I hope to become an environment artist in the game development industry one day - an aspiration shared by probably a few of the dudes here. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this forum because I'm in need of some MAJOR environment/hardsurface guidance for a UDK…
Hi all, Just posted this on Zbrushcentral and thought I'd post it here as well... Being a production artist at EA, I rarely get the opportunity/time to push one final image to completion. This is my second piece using render layers from Zbrush. My goal this time around was to focus on lighting and mood. Something that…

Problem: After running an .fbx through maya; normal map sync is broken. What's different: From comparing the two FBX ascii files, the offending change is this section: Modo / working FBX: ; Object properties Maya bad FBX: ; Object properties If I replace the maya section with the modo section (and update the other few…
Oh boy, a double post for my first bit of work... *sigh* One of my peers challenged me to a sci-fi helmet make-off (proper English?). The idea is to show each other our progress as we go, and this will push each of us to work harder since we can see what the competition is working on. We have one month to get the whole…
If you're doing insects I wouldn't bother with a reversed lens + tubes, its going to be pretty slow to work like that and the working distance won't be enough. 90-105mm is a good working distance I would say. Jumping straight to the Nikkor 105mm 2.8 VR isn't a particularly good idea, that's basically the most expensive…
I recommend you don't get a Vita. At least, not yet. Purely my opinion of course but here's my thoughts after owning a Vita for 2 weeks and returning it (and purchasing another PSP).
