I generally find anything under 512x512 to be ugly. I also find it harder to work with because there's only so much detail you can fit in such crammed space (and that kinda goes against my workflow which is always work big even if I don't use up everything). That doesn't go without saying though, if I was forced do sub-512…
never been to sweden, so maybe you all build stuff different then what we do here in the US... Do you have reference you're going from? Why not try and get some real life factory, nuclear plant reference and add your own spin fromt there. the colors, shapes don't really feel industrial to me, more like some alien factory.…
There are a couple of things that don't jibe well with me. The first is that they want half a million just to build a partial demo of their game that they can put to investors to get another half a million.

Then it's pretty simple to grab the alpha in each one to copy, then shift-paste into your target PSD. IIRC there are a couple small scripts or apps which combine multiple bakes together, using their alphas. Bake Sets in…
I dive, mostly in the pacific off of So. Cal or in the Great Lakes. If you get the chance and want an awesome relaxing dive vacation, I recommend checking out Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee/Kentucky. You can dive to the towns they flooded in order to make the lake, and since it is man made and under extreme conservation…
Eat3D has HQ streaming for 350 a year before any kinda of student discount. Any new vids added you can watch/DL the project files. I dont see what the big apeal of having a physical DVD is. Really once you watch a tut vid once or twice that will more then likely be it (at least in my case i have never gone back and watched…
99% of the time I use a Fuji X100. It's a 1.5x crop APS-C sensor with a 23mm f/2 lens, which functions essentially like a 35mm lens. When I do need to change up lenses, I have a 5D Mark I, which has a full frame sensor.
