walls of text are great. it means you engaged and thinking ;) Yes in some cases having a highpoly for nice edge highlights can be good, usually for hero assets, floorboards on an overall environment not so much in 80% of cases. Some games do more highpoly than others depending on art direction and how their engine best…
It is a method that accelerates the process. I do not deathmatch this stuff anymore because I like learning other things to. It's a handy little method I thought of to accelerate the process for those who don't want to sink their entire livelihood into art. I have seen your industry. You guys are treated like chattel and…
[ QUOTE ] If they are retarded, Bush and Cheney are brain dead ... sorry, did I just state the obvious? [/ QUOTE ] Um... have you been paying attention to politics lately? I mean, I'm not saying your commentary of Bush and Cheney is far off -- I think it's spot on, actually -- but the DNC needs to disown Lieberman. The man…
You should be able to move to Canada so long as you can support yourself on your art. I think you may need something like 3 years of either industry or self employed experience for this to be the case, but I think that's what I remember reading. They support various forms of "self employment", and art happens to be one of…
Don't forget that he's undercutting people in his own country too. This isn't good business anywhere you're located. Also I'm tired of the sob story rhetoric: "Just because he lives in a third world country, he can't pursue his dreams?" Excuse me, but just because I live in a first world country (that kind of invented most…
it seems to me that when I (a canadian) wants to sell something over turbo squid, TS takes 50% of the money right off the top, and then sends me the rest. when it crosses the boarder, the US government takes 35% of my share as some.. kind of.... non-us citizen witholding tax? or some kind of crazy thing. i can't remember…
All you guys have indeed a lot of energy :O Probably the major problem with me is that I am kind of lazy in this regard :poly141: ,or that I am missing "a plan" that let me say "I have to do this,this and this". I went to the gym for one and half month,the problem in there was that the instructors where not really…
You don't salute during the National Anthem, which is what this footage is from, and while some people salute during the National Anthem, it's not required like during the pledge. Seriously, I love (and by that I mean I'm amused by) people's idea that the pledge is something holy. The US is such a fucked up country, why…

[ QUOTE ] The state should make sure that neither it nor any of its employees publicly endorse or condemn any religion because that's…
I've played through it twice (once when it came out in 2004, and then again in 2007). Over time it has lost some of it's visual luster, but I can't think of a single "realistically" rendered game that will be able to withstand the test of time. It's usually the more cartoony or 2d games that are able to do that). The…
