Hey Polycounters, Just thought I would share this with you guys as well it is quite bloggy I know, but maybe helpful or inspiring to someone out there. I wrote this up this morning on my facebook. ********************* Incoming long braindumping post. Warning, probably wont make a lot of sense. Extra warning, make a cup of…
What's funny is I feel that about *your* work! Larger pieces have more room for tolerance, what's 1 millimeter off on a 198cm board? versus a millimeter mistake on a piece that's only 2-3cm wide? yikes. The smoothness of furniture pieces is way more important too, my stuff has gouges all over and I just deal with the…
Yeah you dont need to remesh your zbrush highpoly for texture baking. You only do that if you need extra detail on the hipoly and cant get it at its highest subdivide in zbrush. If you want to bake details from the zB high poly onto a lowpoly version of your model you can do that in Maya bit that would mean opening the…
While I do agree with a lot of what Hazardous said, I also disagree to an extent. He comes across as an extremist every time he posts on one of these threads, and I absolutely do NOT mean that as a bad thing. I just dont think what works for him will work for most.

I am accepting 1 weapon contracts in certain cases. More often than not all the large contracts start with the completion of a 1 weapon contract. Again it is all a case by case basis.

Also wouldn't one seek out games that were of the best quailtiy or research what is good or not . That was excusable back in 90's when you could rent…
there is one thing missing from all the things you have been doing that you listed. Actual portfolio work. Right now it seems you are kinda having paralysis by analysis, looking at all this info online and trying to figure out your next course of action, when in reality, deep down you probably know the answer. Output more…
We will be building a universe, and you'll be able to help sculpt whatever planet you can dream of. Visiting worlds and finding new ways to fight against the nano-bot composite enemies is the core of the game, but there will be sub-games as well as part of the various missions. Unless you know HeroScript I'll be doing the…
I been lurking and staying away from GD like it was the plague, but Andreas your words lure me out of my filthy grotto just like a big round booty would. People like you is why I dislike forums, so you can be happy and triumphant in your victory that you've effectively culled me off. Though when you lurk for a while, you…
Gave some similar advice in another thread today but here's some more tailored to starting a team or business: 1. Do not run it like a pure democracy, you need somebody in charge, and the rest need to work to his or her vision. People need to be able to feel that its theirs too, but you DO need somebody calling the shots.…
