Getting close to CET zero hour, when the fairy godmother has to repossess the pumpkin. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we're using forum software that doesn't support alternate theming. It's all or nothing folks. We could upgrade to the latest forum software, but their new theming system is really terrible. We'd have a ton…
I'm currently studying a game art program that has been fairly messy in terms of curriculum so far, and as a result has left me a bit adrift in terms of skillset.

Here's a short brief of it by Ryan Kingslien: "What do you need to get that job in the game industry? What does your work need? Most artists get this wrong. Most artists think, "I need to learn more…
But its not the same situation, its a similar situation, but you'd be sorely mistaken if you believe HR at most studios values blender experience the same as maya experience, even if its a max studio.
