Hey, just signed up for this Gametap thing today. Anyone else use it? Seems like a damned good deal. You basically pay 10 bucks a month for unlimited downloading of games from this gametap library. Has a pretty good variety, old school games from the way back consoles and some great new stuff, as well as some great games…
Anyone know of a free or in expensive mailing list solution that has a built in SMTP server? I want add free support, no text footer, just the text I put into the email. It should create it's own SMTP server, as I'm on a shared host, and using more than five minutes of CPU time for email sending is not allowed. (that makes…
I'm sure more than a few people on here are musicians or at least play around with digital recording (maybe even just on your iPad/iPhone), so hopefully someone else finds this useful: IK Multimedia's iRig Keys promo With the purchase of an iRig Keys midi keyboard (that works on desktops as well as iOS devices), you're…
I'm not sure how many people this will interest, but Manga Studio EX 4 is on sale today only for $29.99 US. It's usually $299, often on sale for $99, but this is the lowest I've seen it. I think you have to use this link (it was from an email) -just going to the regular site seems to show the standard price.…
Yes, this can be confusing to solve. The optimal solution depends on many factors. If you are making a model only for portfolio display, then the approach does not really matter. Just make it look the best you can, and within reasonable real-time limits. But don’t worry too much about the technical parts. Appearance is 99%…
first game studio job I worked at I worked with a guy who had hearing aids for both ears and he was a senior/lead and had been in the industry for quite a while, you will be fine. Most studios have a majority of their communication through slack/email for most essential information. most of an artists time is spent head…
I have hundreds of more textures, but I have started over from scratch starting to bake all of my textures where possible. I am by no means new to this kind of work, there will be tons of more to come, please bear with me :) Ah, right. They're all generic panels and 99% hand painted. I'll make new shots with scale…
I am currently a Full Sail student and feel it is not over priced as you said. The instructors are still working in their field unlike 99% of the other schools where its what they used to do. So we are as up to date on the current work pipelines as we can get. So not only do you get taught the latest and greatest pipeline…
Theme Hospital was great! My mom, who was a nurse, loved it back in the day. Speaking of Unreal Tournament, I beat it earlier this year again. It was a blast just like back in '99 when I used to spend months playing it on my Pentium II! If I had enough time, I'd definitely replay the following titles: MDK Carmageddon 1…
I kinda hate the use of Normal Maps on skin, and cloth. It looks awful when it moves and deforms like rubber, while the wrinkles remain intact. I also hate how hair is crappy in 99% of the games, and notice when developers try to use 8-bit alpha transparencies ANYWAYS, but live with a crappy 1-bit cutout that looks crappy.…
