Thanks guys! This was a unique opportunity that I just couldnt pass up. Contracting was going really well for me. In the past 5 months Ive worked on 7 titles and have 2 more that I was going to start once this in-house contract with 5000ft ends in December. My biggest hurtle with Contracting has been not being able to…
@Obscura I use smoothing groops from uvs. I know that this is free performance but should I also consider extra smoothing groups for optimised look? Or this does not have any difference atter I import it in a game engine? I also wasnt aware that I had to make different uvs for lightmaps, I learned that after your comment.…

You probably wouldn't get them in Japan I guess. But the best way to understand is to watch the film "The Wog Boy" starring Nick…
I'm not actually in the biz so these comments may be a little nieve.. but a series of questions keep popping into my head reading this topic. Isn't this whole 'piracy coz' I ain't getting value' a bit of a catch 22 now? Gamers want more 'value' - someone mention an example of the way DVDs have 'extras' - but we're told…
very good topic for sure, I've had the same problem since i first started in any kind of art, both 2d and 3d. i'l re-iterate what HP said in terms of practice. I've been at this for about 10 years and i'm just now starting to get to a point where i feel like i have a grasp on this sort of thing My best tips would be:…
As far as the business card thing - they ARE seen as being pretty trivial, especially if you hand them out like breath mints.
