Re: Maya Vector and Exporting as AI.
Thanks for the input guys, I have tried quite a few different settings and what not , but the problem is whenever it renders it switches the render settings to .iff format. I can see it switch to .iff in maya render output as well. :S. The way I fixed it is by using 3ds Max and Swift 3d instead.. lol -
Re: Custom Source Viewmodel in wrong position
It's been a long time since I've compiled anything using source, but sometimes (especially when recompiling with existing animations) you need to put snap rotate 90 or -90 after each sequence, like this: $sequence idle "idle" loop ACT_VM_IDLE 1 snap rotate -90 fps 30.00 -

Re: Feedback for my portfolio?
Hey Robert, I agree with Ashervisalis here and I also feel your portfolio is lacking actual level design.

Re: Importing .SMD for animation
This will most likely be something that Valve rolls out when the submission process is set up.

Re: [Portfolio] Virtuosic
site looks good to me except that I wouldn't have the contact open a new window, and I wouldn't have the resume go straight to a pdf. Have the resume on a readable html page with a link to a downloadable pdf and word doc on that page ideally. Also ditch the demo reel button until you put something in it. -
Re: I'm world wide b*tches!
If your resume's linked, it'll index it; word doc, pdf, parchment scroll, google'll index it. Yahoo'ing my name comes up with my cell phone # and home phone # within the preview results (from a pdf). Doh. Adding a robots.txt file (google it) will help you prevent certain things from getting indexed.
