You need to reward people for taking the initiative rather than punish them for not sticking to a schedule. There will always be things that need done that don't fit on your schedule, on any schedule and only those that are working on those assets tend to see this.

Cool guys. Lots of discussion on the subject here - it seems like a problem alot of us have come up with before. I'd actually thought of the bump map/ spec map with small, fine bumpiness - should give a "wider" specular highlight, driving home after I posted the question.

I actually got my job before doing my art test. I was given the test at my interview on the Monday, said I could start it the following Friday and was offered the job on the Wednesday. I still did the test though - more to test myself than for the company. How long did you have? I had a week, but did it in a weekend -…

I was thinking the same for a very long while but never bothered to mention it. I'm very happy that finally someone mentioned it and others are following up. If it was up to me I would add one more rule and say that when the competition is about a single item, others shouldn't just drop one of their items from a set/bundle…
