Check it out: SIGGRAPH 2010 Los Angeles Convention Center TUESDAY, 27… -

We've recently heard news about game industry layoffs (EA LA, Sammy Studios, etc...) but a larger number of companies are very actively recruiting and hiring. Microsoft alone has 125 game development positions open. Surreal Software and Mobliss are also looking for new talent. These companies and others are recruiting in… -
3D Modelling one handed after stroke
Hi guys, I run a company called XD studios and I'm also 3D modeller. Unfortunately I suffered a stroke last April (at just 27!).

We are Chicago, a game about gang violence inspired by an encounter on a train

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)

Re: 3DS Max Beginner help
Woah, woah, what? I thought it was the opposite. 3DS Max is barely used in the game industry with more studios taking up Maya. This whole channel is dedicated to 3DS Max.

Re: [UDK] James House
I'm going to be putting this one to bed for a little while. While working on this I got "inception-ed" by the TV show "Ancient Aliens" to the point where I literally can't get the idea out of my head. I am a million times more excited about the new project than this current one, and will be starting work on the new one…
