Re: Why am I seeing so many Technical Artist jobs that want python / animation pipeline scripting?
Well ... a batch exporter put together in Python is pretty much exactly the kind of stuff that Tech Art would be expected to deliver, on projects of any size. If anything it would be surprising for this kind of skill to *not* be part of the requirements of a techart job posting. I feel like the misunderstanding might just… -
Re: Discussion: Do you consider yourself to be an artist?
I never thought of becoming an artist, I just wanted to do something fun and make money. I guess 1 out of 2 aint so bad. I always struggle with the thought of me being an artist. I feel like in a way I am but in others I am not. I also believe that it can become a philosophical debate to a certain degree. What is art, who… -

I just have to hit it once then alt tab to torque and I see my art in instantly. ITS AMAZING! Dynamic shadows look awesome, but still cause… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
What they are basically computing is if you batch absolutely nothing, which means you use 1 draw command for each single object, and your Lag time is the same time it costs to draw 600 triangles: then by the time Lag time from 1 draw command to the second, a GPU will be able to draw 600 tris. So why not just let it always… -
Re: Some beginner's question
1st off don't be afraid to experiment, try things and to find ways that don't work. Finding out that something doesn't work, is one step closer to finding a way that does work. It's only a failure if you give up. When it is for your benefit to do so, but don't be dogmatic about it and cause more problems by trying to fry… -
Re: disgusting coworkers
At Humongous, we had someone I shall refer to as "the breather". He worked on the second floor and was a pretty big guy, so big that he couldn't take the stairs (only two floors) and taking the elevator was enough to make him VERY wheezy for most of the morning. Because chicken is healthier than regualr fast food he would…
