2-2.5k is too much to spend on a workstation(without monitor, etc), honestly for 1250-1500 you can get a VERY good system that will do everything you could possibly want for a few years min. You get into a bad situation when spending more than that, as the value degrades the higher you go in price, you can buy top of the…
Guild Wars rocks my socks. I've only played in the two Open Beta Weekends, but they were great fun and had me glued to my monitor for the entire three days. One thing i love about it is that height determines how far your arrows go and how much relative damage it does (taking into account the bow's stats and yours, of…
Love to see any amount of data supporting that there is some sort of negative effects caused by this "internet" mentality. Everytime I've seen someone try to bring this sort of thing up it's never backed up in the least (And is often contradicted by statistics). It's what essentially amounts to some old fart yelling about…
@Pea, I find the Knife quite versatile really. It can do many of the things that connect can, just in Blenders own way :P After cutting the mesh, you can select 2 edges and then constrain the axis by hitting X, Y or Z and then S to scale across the axis...this will emulate pinch. (you can also designate the amount of pinch…
It's true. There's very little innovation in today's market. Everyone is afraid of taking that risk to find that hidden gold in the dirt. The amount of money thrown at game developement prevents teams to be creative. If you were to design a GTA or FPS style game with "Next-Gen" slapped on it, I guarantee you will get money…

If gearhead talk bores you, scroll right past this text and look at the pictures :) Here's a huge writeup fueled by coffee- if you…

Alrighty heres a scene for my portfolio. If you've seen Star Wars then you should recognize this. I'm a huge Star Wars fanboy and am proud of it. As it stands I have the models done with the exception of vegetation and a little bit more clutter. Textures on the way. No sky box yet, I will add more polys to the terrain, I…
Hey guys, I've been searching for hours trying to figure out what the triangle budget is for an iphone 4 and a 4s. Currently, I am part of a team that is creating an indie title for mobile platforms. We currently are using completely baked lighting with only a diffuse shader in the unity engine. Additionally we are using…
I was just involved with the Dota Pit Season 3 bundle. A few notes: -Items are definitely not guaranteed to be added. We got a peek into Valve's review process and received feedback on some of our concepts a couple months ago and again on the sets after they were uploaded to the workshop. Two of the sets involved were…
