I'm going to have a strange perspective on this topic. Some of you will balk at it. I don't really care. Think about it this way, would you be doing this sort of creative work [3d/art work] regardless of the pay? Are you psychologically broken in some basic foundational way that means you cannot fathom spending your time…
Hi. Just found your scripts on gumroad and decied to write a feedback. Your scripits works only in newer versions of max? I mean for 3ds max 2013 when Im trying to use "ContextSensitiveBevel" on edge I've got this: Could you do something to improve compatibility?

So it's not just about being able to lift yourself up over the requirements bar, you need to bring something that other people aren't and you need to add to their overall skill set, not just plug into it and becoming a smooth unremarkable part of the wall. If they say "you need to be able to do a chin up" you show up with…

I decided I wanted to give a small look into my workflow using CAD-modelling software for game-ready props, since when I started out experimenting with this there wasn't a lot of direction after exporting from…
this is actually a super good lesson about leverage, any why you always want to have as much as possible. tl;dr: If you want the best talent, you will probably have to pay for it one way or another (paid art test, higher salary, extra vacation time etc) and if your portfolio isn't mind blowing and you don't have a lot of…
This is cool! Mind if I chime in with my two cents? If nothing else it's a bump, right?:) my first thought upon seeing this is, "Wow. Must be an apocalypse where all the roads are cleared and well-maintained!" Adding the (albeit cool) 'cow catcher/ram' on the front bumper makes for a completely neutered obstacle-climbing…
[ QUOTE ] 1.It's really not that bad at all. Developers know that no one can run BF2 on a P2 slot processor. X86 procs, card-specific shaders, sound cards... I can't think of anything else thats specialized? [/ QUOTE ] In my local computer store there are 14 different motherboards for the AMD AthlonXP/Duron/Semperon…
