Re: [TOOL] Grand designer, the procedural universe generator
Ok so brief story time: The first thing that drew me into computer graphics (besides videogames) was seeing some space art on deviantart with planets and nebulae and crazy over the top lighting. I spent many evenings following those old "how to make this one specific thing this one specific way" tutorials until I knew… -
Re: Activision CEO Earns 64.9 Mil
While I agree with the fundamentals of your suggestion, where are these companies in the videogame space? Surely there are *some* rich investors who are more sane. Yet, where? Valve could've easily failed with Half-Life after burning through Gabe's money. There's still risk that's not predictably avoided. Valve takes a cut… -
Re: What do recruiters do that puts you off?
At least you receive something Blaisoid ^^. Well I'm a real noob, but I wonder if they actually even look at the portfolio if we mention that we are a junior or inexperienced person in the cover letter. I always feel that they "filter" the candidates, even maybe with some key words. I say that because I noticed that a lot… -
Re: My Post-apocaliptic level
That barrel is waaaaaaay to highpoly. Even the LOD1 is. You have so many loops doing nothing for the silhouette at all, you got bevels on pretty much everything. You can, no doubt get this down to 500 tris without any big difference. Just remember what you normalmap is for. [Edit] Just looked through your thread and… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
If I'm reading BigJohn's posts right, he's saying that piracy is not necessarily a crime due to the fact that the harm caused by it is only hypothetical, and that it actually increases the exposure of the product in question, and that any moral questions are moot as per his perspective on property rights. Now this may seem… -
Re: U.S. Government Proposes "Internet Kill Switch"
Is there any doubt? Not in my mind. Lieberman is a menace, and has been since the 90's when he tried to wrangle government control of the videogames industry. Gore? Remember the PMRC and those wonderful parental advisory stickers? These two are as solid anti freedom as they come. And to the international polycounters:… -
Re: Decisions...
Keg, I think I told you at the Polycount dinner we had that I've been doing lectures @ AI. My perception is that its a general "video game design" course that they offer there. So if you go for programming you'll also be doing some model, design, etc etc.. the works. My best friend Richard is in his 3rd year of programming… -
Re: Church of England vs Sony
No, I actually agree with you. I was making the point that the fact that they could have made the level from the comfortable distance of LA, without even having to visit the cathedral could mean that there was even *less* incentive to seek permission. I think you're right. I'm confident that as far as the law goes, Sony… -

Happy Birthday Polycount!
So I guess today is Polycount's 14th birthday! Thanks Drew, Adam, and everyone that keeps this awesome community built ship running. Looking forward to the next 14.
