Re: thoughts on Linux?
Was probably me, BUT... I'm doing this for personal tech artsy stuff. I'm not doing this because I love OS X so much - it's mostly so I can more dynamically use the limited space on my SSD and so that I can use the intel card for most of the time and save some battery (and not burn a hole in my pants). For my needs it's… -
Re: Devolution of Design
What was so good about the old verison that the new version lacks? That it had a black background behind the menu instead of white? That's the most immediate difference I can find. I recall people hated that version too when it was introduced until they realized they actually liked seeing updates from people they… -
Re: 40 axed are Rockstar San Diego ?
I hate hearing about studios laying people off it's really sad. I've been through this personally last Sept. with other friends and colleagues such as member Jesse Moody. Initially I wasn't surprised that layoffs happened but was pretty shocked at alot of the people that were picked. Some core members to certain projects… -
Re: Sketchbook: Tudor Morris
I modelled the base of this concept mushroom thing that I did a few weeks ago, have been developing it and leaning a lot about the UV unwrapping, textuing, polycount etc. (general asset workflow). As a concept artist I do think it's really important to go though this process yourself so you understand the technical side of… -

Re: New Line drops Peter Jackson from The Hobbit
If they want the bad press and Jackson to go away just open the books and shut him up, that is of course if they are on the level which it sounds like they aren't. Yeah Bob Shaye sounds like a total dick in this interview. http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/11/film.hobbit.reut/ How the interview reads to me; Bob… -

Re: Toying around with normal map approaches
Perna has a point, it's -useless- to compare these techniques in Max or Maya, how many games do you guys know that are rendered in these software packages? Even if they're using the same .cg shaders as the engine the content is getting treated differently. Any time you bring a mesh into an engine the tangents and… -
Re: Next-gen Facial Animation using Bones
I know Sato and have worked with him. Nice guy, very talented artist but a baaaad Art Director. Sheen I know too who did the rig. Very clever guy. They're both at EA LA. The rig looks to be based on the Jason Osipa method? It's cool, but like monster says, there aint really anything special going on here. I hate the… -
Organic Environment
Hey all. Recently I handed my portfolio over to some great industry artists and a gaming event and had them crit it. I recieved some great crits, the strongest of which being, I need more environments! The lead artist told me he liked my most recent environment (world war 2 scene) but that I need ideally to include one…
