On my 2 cents: Althought I understand that you wish to spend money on your game development. The core needs can be found on www.gamedev.org I would suggust you should start learning on your own. I have learned the art work (sketching) on my own and now practicing modeling along with practicing of C++. Which is the base…
Of course a litebrite as a piece of advertising should be at a subway entrance. It shouldn't be down a subway tunnel somewhere, the entrance gets foot traffic, and it should be a lot of it. The only way hidden viral marketing works is if its in a HUGE pond like the net (I love bees), if you're physically making things…
It's really nuts when you think about it. Our industry does really well in general even with rampant piracy. I wonder what the real gross capital would be for the games industry if piracy didn't happen and people actually purchased everything. It'll never happen sadly but I'm sure it's an impressive number to behold. I…
alright, first off, thanks for the crits everyone. i'm taking my first hack and this whole texturing thing, and i'm grateful for the help. browsing through all the crits left on work here in this section of the forum is a veritible college experience. awesome. i've been working on the textures a bit, making them look less…
yea actually i was having the idea of makin some "style items" shirts or posters or things like that. however i dont really know a thing about the final production cycle of this. i know other people offer prints of their works on the net and they are just clients of a bigger "printing place" that does the stuff still i…
Hey Adam, good too see your portfolio site up. I will agree with what has been said but load times for me have been fine, guess there is just no traffic on my net. One thing about your presentation sheets. I would consider ditching you HP off. Right now they take up a lot of room and its clear there was a HP model made for…
New England is going to win it. The Steelers are the better overall team, but Ben Roethlisberger has been struggling at times during the second half of the season and appears to have hit that "rookie wall" coaches talk about. He'll wind up costing them big time against the Patriots who are winnners and won't miss two easy…
If you're the nervous type who sweats easily under pressure wear something comfortable (but not too comfortable!). Visible underarm sweat stains not lookin good. Talking about yourself and selling your abilities to a room full of pros ain't easy. I'd go business casual instead, as opposed to jeans and sneakers. I'd want to…
Slaught I think you need to make your big pictures bigger and show more angles of your models. You can easily show one large image at least 600 pixels tall that has several angles of your models. Most companies need people to model and texture at a minimum, but since you have so many models that are not textured, it can…
The thing is, that it's still vague as to what precisely you mean by 'most people'. What I was talking about was specifically how prolifically max is used in the video game industry. And the reason for that is primarily historical. The reason that it's largely the tool of choice for hobbyists aswell is that it's…
