Hey Rick, does Rockstar still sell any of the full music collections from the GTA series? (I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the VC one, and the SA one wouldn't be too bad to get ahold of). Oh, and I almost forgot; I almost ended up with a Kilrathi foot. When I was working the sims 2: uni QA, we got an email from the…

Thi is something that's been bothering me for the last 2 years. My current example of it: I got bored and decide to model my kitchen sink and started with the faucet. Now there's a handle of the faucet that kinda juts out at a weird angle that doesnt line up at all with the xyz axes. I use maya btw. I know I could just…

My FMP (Final Major Project) is split into two sections, the practical and…
http://jbit.net/~sparky/sfgrad_bump/mm_sfgrad_bump.pdf So, lets see if someone a bit smarter than me can figure this out. I had a bit of a chat with Jeff(from 8ml) about this and have a vague understanding, but would love to know what other people thought about it/if you understand any of it and what it really means, from…
At work we've been using 3ds Max and Biped and a mix of facial bones and morph targets. We have some down time between games and we're researching alternatives to Biped as well as tweaking our pipeline. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for character rigging/animation alternatives, preferably 3ds max compatible.…
I highly recommend getting in touch with the http://www.flashgamelicense.com guys. They are really fantastic to work with and are basically 90% responsible for my success the past few years, and all they charge is a measily 10% commision (that is nothing compared to most services that take 30-60%). I'm sure they would be…
collada is a nice thought but often out of place when it comes to small and light wheight formats. For Flash engines I always avoided it because its to bloated (with all the tags around stuff) and exports often way to many things one does not really need. Its nice and readable for the eyes, but if you have a model with…
