Can it not find a license, or is it trying to find the student license? Is your current license standalone or floating? You can easily get the student license to expire by moving your system clock three years to the future and then launching Maya. Then set your clock back to now and you'll be able to install your license…
so im looking at it and SAIC looks quite good. The tuition is quite pricy (1200) a semester but the gi bill would cover 650 in illinois and the yellow ribbon would cover another 7500 for the year. Its not a decision im making right away im just interested in what they have to offer. On that student review site they have…
Are you aware of the advanced vertex blending material DVD i released? IT goes into this in much more depth, and also shows you how to make more efficient materials. The one u have now is over 100 instructions, but if you did it a different way you can get the same effect with 70 instructions. you can find it at…
Hey, thats some good stuff there. I graduated from the FSU computer animation program last April and it's always good to see students and graduates post on forums. I agree with the first post, you have a bunch of what looks to be solid assets and good environments, but we don't get to see them long enough to evaluate them.…
great advice there guys. hmm I think taking a class would be cool ,although I was a student for 7 years I could certainly handle some more student life.

I think this is not fair. To not use a stronger word... They pay or sort of to their google summer of code students...even considering they're students, not pros or freelancers living of it... Once again, artists' work hours mean nothing to a lot of people... It's even worse if Google does it... Last news I had was that…
I'm currently a student of 3D animation at CG Spectrum. The set up is very nice; the instructors all know what it's like to be a beginner and the courses (at least as far as animation goes) really push getting comfortable with the software while not being overwhelming. It makes it easier to be a beginner, as you get the…
Ah thats awesome you have a student discount. I have been on the verge of begging my University to give me the money to buy these as I recieve zero student loan etc. Thank you for making these dvds as I want to broaden my knowledge (UDK is the only engine I have a rough way around :P ) plus with the crytek nottingham…
The shoe exemple is awesome - I think that's actually a fantastic exercise to give to students. So yeah, you can do a lot of complex spline building simply using polygons first then converting the edges you want to splines as mentioned above. However, if the spline network is supposed to be surface-modifier friendly to…
Are you a university student? Because if you are, you can download a free educational licence of Autodesk 3ds Max or Maya - the two top tier 3d packages when it comes to games. If you're not a student, look into blender Once you have a program, spend some time with the introductory tutorials and get to grips with the basic…
