Re: ILM workers protest proposed pay cut
I think the problem lies in "a few big players and not enough little/medium players". If you look at other businesses the amount of small to medium enterprises would actually make up the bulk of the market, which is good in many ways, a) tough competition keeping the big players lean b) it caps salaries to some extent,… -
Re: State of the Industry: Why you should or should not give up.
I'd like to counter Josh's point, not because I disagree with it - because I don't - but I think there's other aspects to this that are also true, and that aspect is this: If you do not suck (that is, you're at a level that inspires others) at being a 3D artist* or animating you'll never have trouble getting a job. In this… -
Re: WIP Scifi Soldier
Finally! I have something to show! Just a head sadly. Please crit as harsh as needed, I'm looking to become professional in quality as soon as possible. About 1 month trying to learning MAX, making small stuff. 2 Full days of noodling around on the head 1/2 day of which was figuring out how to model and attach ears again.… -
Re: bungie: 'Secondhand sales are evil'
One of the biggest problems facing the ideal scenario is the fact of multiple hardware platforms. The industry-sanctioned and standardized system for digital distribution I proposed would work for PC titles. Worst case scenario, the industry just agrees to pay Valve a certain amount to be the official portal for digitally… -
Re: US military helicopter mows down 17 innocent civilians
Yeah. This is terrible. Hopefully these guys get dealt with to the fullest extent the law provides. I used to live with a Marine who cycled out just before the conflict began. Then a couple of his friends rotated back to The States after a tour in Afghanistan. They spent the entire time at my apt lamenting the fact that… -

Re: [Question] Animate with bone/ biped?
If you are new to animating or working on a VERY small project, use Biped. Those are the ONLY circumstances I will EVER recommend Biped, because it does those things quite well. EDIT: I take that back. Just don't use Biped if you've never used it before. It lives in its own world and animates differently than everything… -
Re: Maya Autosave?
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. And actually, despite my field, this is one of the first forums I've ever joined. So I apologize if my etiquette lacks from time to time. If I do anything taboo just let me know! Plus, I've been using Mel to introduce myself to programing. So I probably mess up things in that department.… -
Re: Environment set: The Weapon Shop
So my home computer is on the fritz :\ Until I pick up a new machine I'll get some work done on this at work and work on some lighting tests. The next assets in line that I'd like to do are the weapons and armour and I'm going to use a cube map for their reflections. I'll be using these lighting tests to get a feel for the…
