SCAD class of 2004 here. Going to school in Savannah was a great experience for me. I graduated with a major in Graphic Design since the video game stuff came right as I was on my way out. Luckily I was able to take a couple of the 3dsMax courses before I graduated. One thing to note about SCAD is you only get out of it…
Hi Hugh, appreciate the lengthy reply. Regarding your navigability criticism, it's in place of course. As the scenes are actual 3D spaces with pretty correct depth of objects/colliders, but we have an orthographic cam view, it creates a navigation problem.

I don't know about that - any female gamers around here with a view on the way men are portrayed in games? True for some types of games more than others. Certainly of the AAA action titles with muscle-bound manly men - COD, Gears of war etc. but then I don't think people play those games looking for depth of story and…
I don't know about stupid, but certainly unproductive. Too many free games out there, or even worse, too easy to steal games. The average gamer these days is becoming more and more hip to the idea of free entertainment. When entertainment's free, why work? Plenty of people out there sittin' on their butts playing free,…
Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback on this piece — the anatomy critique on the foot was correct, so I went back and fixed it. I've updated the image in the original post with the corrected version. Quick note on my workflow, since it came up in the comments: I work with AI generation as a starting point and do extensive…
I am starting to create a demo reel for a new job, and I am trying to decide whether to use a model for a game or a model for a movie. My aspiration is in the film industry, but in my country the treatment in the film industry is significantly lower than in the game industry, so I am in a situation where I would rather…
