Glad to see this post. I was a little frustrated by that too, basically decided I will just do the quads he wants for his class and do what works for my own stuff.

Actually, I'm going to be helping out with the dc chapter by being one of the members on their board of directors. Hopefully we can get things going that'll get more developers interested in attending/participating/joining.

Hello! I've always been way too shy to share my works online, which really needs to change so I thought I'd start a sketchbook in an attempt to push myself to show off my work and not just lurk around everywhere. :# I'm a game art student (for almost a year atm) and a wannabe character artist who is trying to experiment…
I've got students/co-workers all talking and asking about where to buy/build the best machine? My first question always is what do you intend on using it for? I work for a small indie game company and I've purchased 3 computers from Ibuypower.com I use them for 3ds max, Zbrush, photoshop, after effects, and hours of…
