Re: Humbly Requesting Portfolio Critique: Brian Choi
Domain names really aren't as important as they once were - your primary concern should be finding a reliable hosting service with a generous bandwidth allowance. Potential employers are more impressed by the quality of your art than a clever URL. Unless you are trying for a web development job, they are willing to look… -
Re: 3d work/Gaming/Affordable Laptop?
my wife has a dell laptop, i have asus a8js i think the model is called. there's nothing wrong with dells or hps, who gives a shit where support comes from? people that don't live in india and don't have an accent all of a sudden care more about your problems? I don't think so. with that said lower end dells do have poor… -

Re: Hard drive setup recommendations ?
Hey lots of great points!!! Thanks a ton for the advice so far. Yeah BK and Lamont I must admit I am a bit nervous about trying out SSDs, first/second gen stuff just cannot be 100% reliable. However it was recommended by my IT guy ... so I thought, since this is is just the OS drive and I plan to have a rather definite… -
Re: What do you want to start seeing in games?
Better lip sync and animation is number one for me. Nothing strengthens the uncanny valley like robotic and unnatural animation. It's tough because the games where it's most noticeable are the games that require the most animation; Mass Effect and Dragon Age for example. When you have so many hours of dialogue and… -

Re: Beta admissions via Pre-orders
I think it's a great thing to be honest. Some people have a problem with paying for an "unfinished product" but getting access to an otherwise closed alpha/beta means that I'll be able to provide input directly or indirectly (through providing statistics) to developers who can then make changes to a game before it launches… -
Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
LOL, ok that was funny... I dont know where or how exactly, but I think some are assuming I think negatively at Tracy as a person...this is not so. I dont know the guy, and from what i hear he is a great instructor. My opinion is based on the concept that if he truly cared about changing the policy and accreditation, then… -
Re: Hand Painting Obsidian Texture in Photoshop. NEED HELP
Diffuse = midtones Specular = highlights Normal = shadows that's generally the way I look at it... it's more complicated than that of course, but... yeah. diffuse is the natural color of the surface if everything was evenly lit... most everything should be in the same or similar value as to not compete with the lighting of… -
Re: 3ds Max 2011 Snap error?
The quality of that video is pretty bad, its hard to tell if the gizmo is actually highlighting the vert or if you're grabbing an axis. If you hover over the center of the gizmo it should unhighlight all of the axis and put a little circle around the vert, then you click and can drag it around. Which is the core difference…
