Thumbs up for tracking them down. Illustrations are definitely cool alongside humorous anecdotes depicting a thankless task which I do recall feeling sorry for these dudes during those covid curfews when everyone was lockedown but they had to keep going as essential workers, imho pretty much then were unsung heroes.
Well, as Bob Bates says in his great talk "The Belly of the Whale" (see the link), you do need to put in your 10,000 hours to become an expert in any creative endeavor. It will involve drudgery, but if you work hard and keep your eyes open you will learn a ton. Can't recommend his talk enough, it's a huge gold mine of…
I got asked question about it for an interview, and it got me thinking, since I haven't done proper bundled tickets for a while. Though I am doing one right now as a favor to a friend of mine. Since there is just lots of talk from Organisers and not much thoughts from the artist community, I thought it would be a good…
They improved some smaller things that people consider important in Maya. Treidge - Talking to product Managers means nothing; I've talked to some of Autodesk tool developers but they don't have the freedom to fix and release a patch within a week. They have rules to follow, and as much as I too would like those rules…
are you talking about pirated games or what? the wall of text was fun enough to read through, but I don't understand what we're talking about really if you want to install your own .apk files, like say you want to try a build of a game you're working on, I usually just put the file in a folder and install it natively on…
To me 'cave' is to generic, are we talking spelunking, are we talking lair? Do people live in it is it in a damp environment, is there game-play? How i'd approach making the entire thing depends upon a lot of factors. but mainly I'd block out the entire flow of the cave system with quads, drop it into something like mudbox…
I definitely saw a Polycount shirt, but everyone seemed to be so busy that I didn't want to interrupt. Also, I'm part ninja on my mother's side. Craig Mullins was awesome. I love how it was less of a talk, and more like sitting on the guy's couch talking to him about art. And for whatever reason I hadn't seen that painting…
Honestly though, a lot of studios are open to these things if you talk to them about it. Both studios I've worked for (albeit small) said they didn't mind what I was working on off-hours, as long as it wasn't a competing retail product. Though the contract I signed stated that ANY art I created, on or off hours, was…
Leno has to be the worst interviewer in the history of talk shows. None of his guests seem to enjoy themselves, and he doesn't seem to enjoy himself either. Just asks the questions on his index cards, no rapport with his guests at all. Conan's guests seem to have a blast talking to him, lots of "off the cuff" moments. Will…
[ QUOTE ] FOR FUCK'S SAKE, how about posting a link to exactly wtf you are talking about!??! Seems like a lot of people here have forgotten how to do that!!! [/ QUOTE ] I would imagine most people knew what I was talking about. Sort of like telling someone to GOOGLE IT. Some things don't need links. But I edited my…
