+1 on this. I've never used 3ds max in a studio environment before starting at Blur. If they like your work it wont be a problem. That being said... It's important to realize that 3ds max has a product direction more focused on industrial design/architecture and architectural rendering. Yes it has some great features that…
Not to toot my own horn, but I just ended up making a very similiar system, only micro ATX. Case: Corsair Carbide Air 240 CPU: 5820k RAM: 32gb ddr4 2800mhz (4x8gig sticks, ADATA) (Best deal right now 50% off, $299 via NewEgg ) CPU Cooler: Silverstone Tundra TD02-E ($99 via amazon) (keeps it at a constant 28-33…
Ok there's a new version in first post with some important changes.. the main thing I'd like feedback on is the new squad control stuff.. (btw rollin, the lead character at the moment has a white circle at his feet) here's how the new system works: 1. Hold space to enter pause mode. This lets you think a bit about your…
The ruling says nothing about the DRM side of the issue. So basically - for software packages with a license system not bound to hardware or some kind of user ID, its cool to re-sell the license. But I dont see this affecting Steam, or any recent DRM scheme really. In other words : the ruling does NOT say that every…
There's not much of a need to talk or listen in the job, based on my own experience, other than taking (art) direction. I think the way the studio handles this could have an impact. Studios which formally document feedback (so they can check if you addressed it) in a system like Shotgun or Jira will work for you. In this…
What I loved about Norway was the social system - especially job security for women (most other eu countries are miles away from this), and the attitude of most Norwegians that if you contributed to the system you deserve to benefit from it, no matter if you're Norwegian or not. Quality of living is indeed very good;…
I'm thinking of giving the trial a shot during Xmas break. Anything that speeds along the monotonous part of texturing and gives way to the actual creative part is something I'll always invest in. But how do you guys handle seams? I was searching around and came across this guy's post on another forum. He voiced my…
I would recommend the 660 over the 650, the ?50 brand are a lower end card and really only for home theatre systems or laptops. Also corsair make some of the best PSU's but some of them do suffer from buzzing noises. I would do a quick check and avoid the ones that do. As for the computer as a whole, next gen is just…
Cant help you on the form for the color picker, but here is the code to make a system try icon and give it a context menu and a exit button. You will want to just create a new Windows Form application in Visual Studio, that will get you started with 1 form, and a Class with a Main() method. C# shouldn't be a huge jump for…
ok maybe i´m missing the point .. but WHY is it BETTER to be forced to enable your game online? than typing in a key??? it takes longer AND you need internet... i mean.. how long did it take them to build the go-offline button.. lol-wtf-lol ?? sorry.. steam is and will ever be a real big LOL as long as i HAVE-TO use it…
