Re: Questions about Gnomon
I'm a student at Gnomon currently in my 3rd Term out of 7 total (2 year program) and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I've made. Previously I attended SCAD for a semester but it was such a colossal waste of money compared to Gnomon (unless of course you get ridiculously high scholarships). The instructors… -

Re: Creating professional portfolio in school vs online course.
Regarding your question about oportunities to work on games: I've not done this, except once started with a couple of friends but after a handful of months it became obvious that we won't have the time for it. You have here a job section on this board. Just take a look. Also you can always take a look at modding… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 3
Hey Polycount, I basicly went through and thought of what all COULD be in a plausible basement. however I may have left some things out because I was running out of ideas.

Re: Even more Rapid prototyping questions
Hey Cheese I've gone through the process for maybe half dozen miniatures now and I can vouch for some of the printers being pretty bad knowledge wise when it comes to printing this kind of stuff. It might be equal parts lack of knowledge to incompetency but at the end of the day they know whats best for their machine. I… -

Re: Demo reel concept drawings
Hey thanks guys. Good points gauss. Let's see, the name / backstory of the creature. I guess the story only counts for his personality, and character. That it isn't much of a chicken anymore, is right. ''so why not posit this unfortunate creature as one that died out as evolutionarily unfit at some point?'' Good point… -
Re: Rigging Final C&C :)
Hi. First off I would like to say great job on the rig! You did a really nice job with it. As for baking a normal map to pump up the detail... Here are some tips I wish someone would have told me when I was starting out. - With high poly modeling for baking it's important to know your final texture size ahead of time. That…
