That is hilarious news. Especially all the people whining about it. But I gotta wonder, will this start to impress on certain game companies, that the pc is NOT the only system that has pirates? I mean there's companies that have said "no more pc releases, the piracy is too much" Which is REALLY ignorant. Every console has…
I've never noticed this, but now that you mention it... Heh I guess that's why it's good to have traditionally taught artists, vs people who went to game art schools. Still, a simple radiosity solution just seems too easy, lol, as game artists we have to complicate things. I bet there is a nice middle ground somewhere.…
I applied for two positions, both on the creative writing side of things. I have noticed a lot of people seem to think the internships are only for students attending a US university, but the application never mentioned that. Also when you are asked which school you attend, the dropdown box contains pretty well every…
[ QUOTE ] DAZ: an animator is an animator is an animator. Be it on films, cartoons or games; you still need a sense of animation. A lot of the industry animators (who didn't get the luxury of 3d animation school) came from the 2d days. The animation on Darksector is worse that the FMV sequences when you complete tekken on…
Conference seemed pretty good. Better than I was expecting, at least. Gotta say, Microsoft looks a hell of a lot more competent than Sony right now. The whole multi-platform thing seems to make getting a 360 seem like an even worse idea to me, though. If I'm going to be playing the same games with the same people on Vista,…
Hi Penzer, yes, I agree about the pieces in yellow (it's meant to be made of copper). I shall reinforce the dust on it, and use a blurred envmap to cast some more worn metallic reflections. What do you mean by "developped for computer" ? Yes, it's made to run on a PC, not on a mobile or handeld device. That's why there are…
Well that chart can be misleading because it is averaged across all levels of experience. So an Art Director with a GED making 120k a year, and a junior artist with a GED making 40k a year, would average 80k a year, which doesn't tell you anything really. I think that's why salaries appear to be irrelevant of education…
kudos to you for trying to check if the UVW is passable; why dont you pass it by the person who has to paint it and see how they feel about it? Its nice when the modeler and skinner (if they are separate people) have a workflow and communicate. I can tell from here it could use a tad of work - but I dont know what they…
Are you you saying you want to do a usb raid? Why bother? The bus would limit any advantage it has. Do a Esata raid (e=external). There are different types of raids. Some you dont need the exact same capacity. Some you do, and some will (in mirror) use the drive with the lowest capacity. Here is the wiki.…
Man o, man, o man... Good luck to those affected, I seriously hate axings... Why cant management figure out ways to stop screwing people and their families over. I know this is a huge part of our industry, but it still sickens me when these huge black clouds sweep through studios. It is usually one douche bag who thinks…
