I love this quote from the article: [ QUOTE ] "You need a complete global debate," he said. "Whether we should be building machines as smart as people is a really big one." [/ QUOTE ] Ahem, yeah, when we actually get to the point where we are able to create a self-aware machine, then we should have that debate. That's like…
Thanks guys for your comments! [SF]Three9 Cheers! With the wolf it was a specific case, it was supposed to be flat shaded just with shadows. Generally the simplicity of texturing is deliberate choice - majority of these characters I did in my spare time and always tried to keep it simple so I can do something in a…
It's in the lower end of North Beach? That seems pretty odd. There are a hojillion places to eat there, with lots of great Italian food that is easily inside a $20 budget. Rather than make a specific recommendation (I'm just a fan, not a resident), I'd see if you can hook up with Daz or Soul or another SF local who might…
"[...]without (I think so) fall into the "edge wear EVERYWHERE" zone." Actually, in a real world context it's very much a common occurrence, particularly for armored service ordnance of whatever description. As an aside, had served with a force recon unit equipped with both wheeled and tracked vehicles, operating alongside…
[ QUOTE ] This is going to be a good few weeks [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, definitely looking forward to it. 02 was my first world cup living in the US, but any worries about missing out on things were quickly dispelled by discovering the atmosphere on lower Haight st. in SF. Several bars (most notably the famous 'Mad Dog In The Fog'…

And after you can mix all those buildings to create tons of streets. if you're textures are well done you will just need to change them to increase the…
[ QUOTE ] AZ: a two way trip from NY to Dallas and back was like $97 at the time (2 years ago), i guess it also depends on time of the year, i just looked it up now its like $150-200 could still do it with those prices [/ QUOTE ] I guess that sounds about right, actually. I just expected a flight going that distance to be…
Hello, I am seeking work so I thought I'd write this post. My name is Filip, 28 years old and am from Croatia's capital city of Zagreb. I create 3D Prop Art, also known in certain places as Asset Artist and I'm seeking work in the same field of Game Art. I am able to create a prop and a weapon from scratch, texture and…
Im finally back. Well, had a fantastic time in the UK. Hi-lights were definitely bonding with my nephew and niece who are 3 months and 2. Ive basically been 'Uncle Daz' for weeks which is great since I get to hand them back for nappy changes. Anyway, it was weird doing without the internet or even thinking about 3D for so…
Kwakkie: Its simple. College courses can cost a ridiculous amount. Where I'm at is presently charging $575 a credit hour (plus fees etc), most classes are 3-5 credits, and you need 120ish credits for an average Bachelors. So yeah, my final semester (finishing in June) cost about 12 grand. The Academy of Art in SF where I…
