I think it's very simple. Stop applying for jobs with companies that are known to be run by gaping assholes EA and Activision, a few others). That'll sort out the way they treat their staff fairly quickly. These layoffs aren't down to any recession, it's just greed. They hire by the hundreds because they insist on working…

I dunno if just owning a 360/PS3/PC makes you a hardcore gamer... these days a lot of kids have an 360 and a PS3, but if they only play one or two game sessions a week on either one i doubt they're hardcore. I know a few guys who have all consoles and a PC but they don't actually play games all that much, and when they do…
Mirror Tool: This actually scales your mesh negatively flipping it inside out. The problem is that you won't know it unless you turn backface culling on, and reset xform. It also does not weld the center seam. Personally I avoid using this tool unless I have a specific need for it... Symmetry Modifier: This is will weld…
_Shimmer you may want to add interesting patterns to your armor to bring them to life. I usually look at comic books, Lord of the Rings weapon guide that came out, anime, cartoons. Look at how the armor of the Transformers or Gundmun Wing is simple yet interesting. Also looking at real armor helps make your designs be…
Having worked for Disney for a few years ( artist ) I had enough of a chance to find a few gems. Though this was like 9 yrs ago:) so I am sure that things have changed. But within MGM Studios, near the starwars/and indiana jones section you will find the foli sound studio. This was a place that you could go in and see how…
Reasons I thought it would suck. 1) They didn't publicise it well, until a few weeks ago the only trailer they really had avaiable was a car, racing around a track, and some stupid beat up tow truck doing a bad Larry the Cable guy impression. I'm sorry but saying the magic word "by-gum(Get-R-Done for those over 13)" 3…
Hey, here's some of the most recent publicly availabel stuff he's done, for the Dissonance project. Unfortunately he recently moved to San Francisco from Germany, and I think that's why his website is down, hopefully he'll have a new one up soon. Here are a few links showing how he does characters and poses... all with…
Modo unwraps any kind of model with one click. You only need to select the seams (edges of costure) and that's all. If needed, the uvw can be tweaked in less than some minutes using the relax options. Max have them too. There are other programs like unfold 3d that do the work better for some cases. It's the same…
I had a pretty kick ass fathers day. I ended up going to bed late saturday night because of a little crunch time with some work i'm trying to finish up so my wife let me sleep in. I woke up to my son smiling and trying to give me a card. (He was hitting me in the head with it) Wifey gave me a card and inside was a little…
