Hello, my name is Jack. I represent SymmetryGames as a Director and lead 3D Artist. Currently, due to some internal studio turbulence, SymmetryGames has decided to rebuild its team for Prevail, our latest game concept. We are currently looking for anyone who believes they may relate or be of some use to our studio. To get…
Project name: Troubleshoot Brief description: Troubleshoot is a fast-paced co-operative shooter that consists primarily of a team of players working together to take down a large enemy/boss.

Ok, this is longwinded to the extreme. I am probably going to publish this on my website as a paper after getting some feedback from you guys. I have been thinking long and hard about this, and I figured the best way to figure out how I stand is to write it down. Here we go. Priorities Regardless of your field, if you are…
I've noticed a trend here at Polycount recently. We've been getting lots of new posters asking about getting into the game industry. I figured we could use a sticky thread where we post our stories for others to read and take inspiration from. There's a bit of solace to be found when reading about other's trials and…
Nice! You can get pretty far with a miter and table saw. A bit of advice: chuck the blades that come with those saws, get a good quality 60 tooth crosscut blade for the miter saw, and a 24 tooth glue line rip blade for the table saw. If you're going to handle sheet goods (plywood etc) or do miters on the table saw (for…

I apparently overestimated what the unreal engine can handle as far as poly counts go. So, I spent a lot of time reducing the polys on all the models, only to…
It was mid afternoon. If I had to guess, I'd say damn near close to 3 when I came across Macallister. A stranger to me, I rode up to his camp and asked if I could stay for a spell in return for a favour, if he needed one. We shot the shit for awhile. He, a single man interested in some plot of land so he can spin himself a…
If by 32 bit you mean 24 bit color with 8 bit alpha/transparency, then I have something working. Also, if you're wondering about a file format, .tif works fine. Its lossless and supports alpha channel transparency. Here is how you will have to set up your render layer for a depth pass with transparency though: Step 1 -…
My two cents: I am an Arizona native and have lived in the southwest all my life. I have seen both the good and the bad related to illegal immigration so I'll state my view on both. The Good: There's no doubt the cheap labor pool has it's benefits. I have seen it first hand when it comes to the jobs most Americans arent…
That landscaping one isn't fast either. http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/epMADy/http://www.adana1landscapingllc.com/ takes a good 3~4 seconds from New York (and 4~7 from Amsterdam), of which only 1 or so seconds for the data transfer, and rest for connecting. The realtor one does connect to the domain quickly;…
