Repeating Frendens numbers for PPI... Uh no I used the power of google to find a website for calculating PPI http://pixeldensitycalculator.com/ As far as repeating everything on the Frendens review, the only thing I remember from his review was that he was extremely happy with the yiynova U models, and that was in part…
this strays more into the fine art world more then the commercial art world. there is a an important distinction. most cg tends to be focused on commercial art even if the artists don't see it that way. art theory and fine art at the conceptual level does not have much to do with drawing and painting or visual art. so…
There is so much talk about smoking increasing the risk of lung cancer when you are 70 years old. That wasn't much motivation for me to stop right now. I have so much time between now and 70 to quit. How about this for motivation? Smoking makes your skin look uglier and lowers your sex drive. Yes, In addition to all of the…
Thanks guys, and frankly switching from TGE to TSE is the least of our worries. I mean we started looking at battlefield 3 years ago, then promptly changed to UT2k4, which was then going to port to Tribes:Vengeance as part of our original agreement with Sierra/VU, but that didn't work since T:V was changed so much from…

For example, if you compare Autodesks subscription of 3Ds max versus Unreal Engine 4 (vastly different programs, but I…

@alec2002 You're killing it man! Seriously you have a great eye for form! All that aside however from my experience, i'm 19 and just landed my first industry job at a game studio in Seattle. I was going to community college and working part time making minimum wage and came home each night to work on my game art (lots of…
Dear Arqus, you wanna feel a bit more confident? I'm 30, married. I've started learning 3d one year and a half ago after wandering and keeping away from my passions for all my life.
