I think this is definitely unilaterally true. But, I've always gotten the impression that Valve fires people fairly often, and it's just not in the news normally. From an article on Polygon recently: http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/1/3941274/gabe-newell-steam-box-talk-ut That being said, I think most of the people he's…
actually black in the color map is a new feature of 1.7: Seam Termination support // Uses black color in color map to find UV borders, so make sure the color map background is black! and I`m not talking about the albedo/diffuse map. I`m strictly talking color map, which just maps materials to colors. so black is just an…
I'm not talking about an optimized lowpoly. I'm talking about not learning jack shit about subdiv polyflow with this method. Are you up to industry level? No. Then why are you aiming for speed rather than quality already? Not trying = not learning. (Besides, if you're really going for smarter not harder, make a lowpoly,…
Mik2121: Thanks for that, totally missed that before. I will fix that right away, I think I know what you're talking about. Rick_D: I read some stuff on cages, but had no idea what they were talking about. I see what you mean now with adding those edge loops, thanks for that, will re-bake with those in. Cap Hotkill: Yea it…
Awesome. This is exactly what I needed to know. I have 0 technical issues when I view the site, so thank you very much to those of you that talked about it. @johnicus: Thank you for the info and link. I had no idea about the image scaling thing. I think I'll go the same route as Matthew. It looks like the perfect example…
Oh yeah I dont *believe* the hype. I just get very irritated by ... background noise. It's not just a matter of avoiding reading forums and such - it's hearing random friends or colleagues talking (in real life) about a "revolutionary" movie release that is, well, not released yet :P Also I think there is something about…
yeah if you shave your head, wear some sunscreen or lotion with UV protection... a friend of mine shaved his recently and went to hang out at the pool... he woke up the next day and his entire scalp was covered in second degree burns... it started to scab over, and everytime he talked or laughed, the scab would crack and…
I believe you have to pay taxes in the U.S. no matter where you reside; this is according to the accountant of a friend who lives and works in France but is a U.S. citizen. And seeing as how your employer is based in the U.S. and you received a 1099-MISC, I think the IRS will know what you earned and be expecting you to…
Yeah the Garriot one was my favorite because both those guys made some of my favorite games as a kid. Whats the most perplexing thing is they talk about what they wanted to do back when the tech was crap and they had no money but they semi-succeeded in achieve it. But then they start talking about the present and they are…
