Re: Going to College for Game Art
As a foil to going to an art school, I'm going to pitch USC and what exactly it has done to me. I went to the University of Southern California for the Interactive Media, Games, and Design school in the School of Cinematic Arts for uni. I made this decision against schools like SCAD, Carnegie Mellon, etc. IMGD is a game… -

You gotta be prepared to put an… -
Re: Baked normals in different engines.
Alright, since there has been much discussion on "Which is better, 1 smoothing group or hard edges" i'de like to write a little something on the topic. First off, its important to understand why these issues are being caused in the first place. The recurring theme here is that none of this stuff is standardized, pretty… -
Re: Next gen model question
You can't really define such a thing without more detailed information. What type of game? What hardware? What engine? What rendering effects? What art style? What is the model?

Re: Turning my Polish AK into an AR setup
Sweet stuff dude! On the subject of "does this belong here", it does make me wish there was a Pimping forum specifically for all the non-game art types of artistic pursuits fellow polycounters are doing like this, Flaagan's cuda, Makkon's techno music, cosplay costume construction....etc etc etc. The amount of cool things… -
Re: Looking to potentially subscribe to a 3D magazine. Any pointers?

Re: Rampart 17 High Caliber Rifle
Dig it B) I'm jealous, got some eye-candy HS modeling there and also looks as if there'll be no probs once baked down, getting really nice LODs off of all those big rounded bevels. Edit: Ah forgot too ask if you'd done any work on CoD i.e for Inifinity Ward, Treyarch or Sledgehammer Games etc? -

Re: Laptop size
i'm going to assume that the OP or anyone else interested already has made the decision that they want/need a portable workstation class laptop. and they are going to use it to do the same work you would do on a normal workstation. so no arguing about 12-...-vs-...-17 etc. one point tho, since about the geforce9 gtx mobile…
