3dsmax has some great tutorials included in the help files (Main Menu > Help). Also The Area has some good content but you have to register and log in. Outside of that I would ignore 99% of whats on youtube, stick to sites like http://www.3dtotal.com/ Good luck on the simple passage way, even the visually simple ones can…
hey man hows it going i think you need to focus on your art a little more before looking for any positions. Although its good its not great and that is what companies are looking for "great pieces" im in the same boat as you right now im really pushing my art so it looks like im already working in the industry its hard…
OK today was the first day after spring break. Since I work at a universitry that means people were back and needed support. The insane customers today reinforced my thought that I need to get out of doing this. Today was one of those days that the other consultants and I were speaking plainly but our customers couldn't…
I think the lag they have when large numbers of players gather in say the Auction House or outside of the bank (in IF) could be fixed if they made the AH and Bank instanced. I have mentioned it since closed beta and I have gotten a response of "that would fix the issue but we don't have the time to do that"... Badge, lets…

Your geometry looks a little funny to me. I see areas where you're keeping sections together when they could easily be two separate floating elements saving you from driving an edge loop all the way around the piece. Specifically the section of the factory where the logs are entering looks like it could be broken up to…
Sorry for the long reply, my computer PSU crapped out and I had to replace it and get my computer up and running. All good now. I have done plenty of modular environments, in fact, that was the year-long thesis project I did for college. Lots of fun. It's like playing with legos. :) So you recommend I just create the…
Funny that you say this. The only console I've ever owned was a Wii and it has loads of titles that run at 60 fps, and low framerates are a big reason why I avoid most consoles. I'll probably never play any of your studio's more recent games until the PC has a PS3 emulator that works well because I just don't find a third…
I think this is the core of the question. I would think that most, if not all of us who got into this field did so because deep down there is still that inner child imagining monsters and building lego spaceships - quite the creative stuff. Portfolio pieces can be quite creative too, in the sense that most CG artists make…
Adam thanks a lot, we are really proud of this version of the game I'm glad you like it. Played it all the time in 4player split in the office during its development. Agree about unlocking cars, we should have had an unlock all feature for local multiplayer when your friends/family want to try the game. You can go into the…
