Re: Polycount to Professors: Ngons Are Useful!
I think that context comes back to the point we were discussing in skype chat about fundamentals. If you teach students right off the bat that n-gons are totally fine, we might see more abusive uses and less quality results. There is definitely merit to teaching quad-only. But NOT as an absolute. What this all boils down… -
Re: Community Colleges: training ground for game dev?
I actually attend a tech school for programming, and they do offer an AA in "Game Design" as well. And it is just a little bit of everything. Quite honestly, I don't think any of the students in that class will ever amount to much with the information that they will cover. 2 year schools generally have 10 week quarters… -

Re: Teesside University, Masters in Game Art

Re: Digipen - Thoughts, opinions?
I was listening to an episode of TIG Radio a while back, or was it Games Industry Mentor... Anyway IIRC one of the developers there was saying how he was meeting with a "game design" student from some college or other. The conversation went something like this: Developer: So your interested in game design? Student: Yup,… -
Re: Looking for Junior Environment Artists to Beta test New Art Course...
To answer the questions... - What I am offering right now is free. You don't have to pay anything with the free coupons I am going to give away.

Re: Am I allowed to rant? Non-contributing community members. (Uh oh!)
I've noticed this a bit lately too. I know I'm not an old school polycounter, but when I first came across the site, I was warned that it was known for it's harsh and honest critique, and I loved that. I feel that you learn from your mistakes, and how will you know you're making a mistake if you are not told? In the 3… -
