Re: How many Polycounters use Twitter?
I love Twitter. I get news through twitter, reminders through twitter, cool links through twitter and friends' updates through twitter. I get to communicate directly with bands, eCelebs, companies and interesting people. I get to actually network through twitter, discovering things I'm interested by seeing who people I… -
Re: Steam Greenlight... Money where the Mouth is.
Yeah but then isn't that then getting rid of one of the cool things about Greenlight, showing off your early game idea and saying, "Hey, is anyone interested in this?" Some people are just putting up raw ideas and getting feedback, and then building that community. Where as if it was a service where you put money up-front… -
Re: Japanese Animation exercise
First of all, I love this! But I feel like your purple haired character's body doesn't match her facial expression. You've matched your reference perfectly, but in that scene the female character has this jovial, taunting look on her face which matches her body language and the lack of effort she's putting into dodging.… -
Re: n
Hmm. I can see a lot of the sort of things I tried when I was starting digital work, so I suppose I'll try to communicate to you what I would communicate to my past self were I able. Don't get suckered in by the fancy options at your disposal due to it being a digital medium. Ignore the texture/pattern overlays, ignore… -
Re: Colleges, Colleges, and more Colleges!

Re: How to start being a technical artist
(Also in the VFX industry a TA is usually a rigger, not sure why the term is so different between vfx but could be due to I think the difference is TA is technical animator vs technical artist both being "TA") The thing with the Technical Artist position is that it means different things from TA to TA in one company and… -
Re: Technical Forums section added
Please god no, it would be one step forward and 2 steps back. Sorting the forums out only to add a huge cluster of images on top of it. I'm all for polycount focusing on what it's really about but those magazine layouts are hardly unique. Almost every art based website uses them these days, and that would be fine if… -
Re: Derby Uni or Teesside Uni
No, make a better video that provides relevant examples or just remove the video and keep the text like most other universities. All she says is the course is great, you get taught all the latest stuff, the place is great, etc. Those are generic statements that anyone can say about anything. I feel the same about most… -
Re: More on Educational Games
I used to work for a company who was going to do training video games, mainly for industrial, aeronautical and emergency services. Besides the fact that the company couldn't get their act together and in the end shut down due to poor management, the biggest problem we faced on the development side of things was lack of… -
Re: Do U Think Concept Art is Becoming More Advanced?
I have a framed signed print from Ralph McQuarrie in my front room, which I pass every time I leave the house. It reminds me of the inspirational leap he made back in '75/'76 compared to what else was around at the time. As far as concept art as art goes, I would agree with Gauss that it's purpose is to inform and instruct…
