Re: What software is needed for a complete 3D modelling work-flow?
It's more important to understand how a software thinks than to know what button does what. Understand how Maya's nodes work. Understand how Modo's took stack works. How 3ds Max's modifier stack works. Maya used to be annoying in little ways because of the way the UI was organized. They've been restructuring the UI for the… -

Re: Dust Bunny Nation (band)
Unfortunately we dont have any good non live recordings yet. One guy did see us at one of our recent shows and wanted to help us produce a demo. He worked at one of the largest recording studios in portland. was going to be $400 for an 8 hour day of recording. not too shabby but still expensive for us. we sometimes… -
Re: Anyone do any 3D for mobile?
Ngage isn't anywhere near as powerful as the DS. Its been a while since I worked on Payload for the Ngage, a futuristic free roaming car game, but if I remember correctly, we were looking at around 50 polygons for the vehicle models (cut down in favour of more funky special effects), up to about 120 for buildings and… -
Re: Max to Modo is it a good idea?
I've been really interested in modo for the longest time, not least as a cheaper option over my trusty old 3dsmax and xsi, but because I used Lightwave professionally for years too and always liked Brad and crew's approach to things. I did try 401 way back but was never able to find time to try a proper switch. My main… -
Re: Career Advancement tips
I've always assumed that these events like GDC were really busy, and the people you meet won't have more than 10 mins to chat with you personally. Even 10 mins is probably pushing it, considering the number of people attending these events for the same reason as you... Am I wrong and you actually chat for much longer? Or… -
Re: Prop Tri Count question: UDK project
If this is for unreal, it doesn't matter if you are using soft lit translucency or a 1-bit masking shader in terms of texture memory. Storing an alpha channel converts a texture from DXT1 to DXT5 in UE3, and that doubles the texture's memory usage because of the way compression is handled. If you do split your alpha map… -

Re: U.S. Can Force For-Profit Colleges Out of Business
FYI there are cheaper routes to get education in the US - I'm looking to get a programming degree and it looks like I can get my 2 year Associates for $5k or less at a community college and finish up with a Bachelor's degree at University of Texas for about $20k, considering I got an art degree for $40k 14 years ago at a… -
Re: The UK industry has little to no regard for university degree holders
I will give the example of me when I was looking into where I wanted to go to school. I wanted to go to school for 3d but I quickly realized that you can teach yourself everything you learn in these 3d schools with 1k in DVD training instead of dropping 120k+ on a silly education. The only downside of this is you might not…
