A Question about Online Portfolios
So, I've been building my portfolio web site the past week, and pouring over my notes from resume classes and workshops. I'm feeling pretty confident about the content of my resume and work gallery.

Question about 3d artist roles
Hi everybody, I have a question about the 3d artist roles in the games industry. Basically, I don't know where I should draw the line about the job roles 3d artists have and what work falls into what category.

Re: How about them Wikileaks, eh?
Meh, I dont really see how these leaks of diplomatic cables are interesting nor really that damaging. Yeah, internal jargon is a bit rougher around the edges, so what? Oh noes!

Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game Models
"Which is exactly why I'm phrasing it like that, I am talking about them today". You're missing the point Celosia is trying to make. I suppose you're not a native english speaker ?

About topology for flat surfaces in the low poly
Hi guys, I have a question about a topic I know there are a lot of threads about, but after some time of searching I'm still confused about what would be the most optimized form of disposing the topology in a flat surface for a low poly that's not going to be deformed. Most of the discussions I've found treat this only for… -
SPECIAL FX: What about hand drawn particle sprites ?
Hello, Polycounters This topic regards something that I hold very dear since my ealiest day of gaming: Sprite particles or sprite FX, not sure how they are called but whatever, I'll give more example. You guys probably must have seen the latest Killzone or inFamous games, right. In terms of particles, they come across the… -
Where can I learn about "under the hood"-stuff?
Hi! Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about. Please don't hit me. :poly122: I'm just curious; where can I learn about what goes on "under the hood" in games? For example, how do textures tie in with video ram? Are all the textures on screen stored in the video ram temporarily? -
