I don't leave my PC running while downloading PornHD, so I'm not going to walk out and change services right away. Also, I have no alternatives. Though, I would like to see those users restricted in some way if it means I get faster speeds. I've paid a large price per month for broadband for the past decade, and have only…
John, nearly every single post of yours in this thread is incredibly scatterbrained and self-contradictory. Not to mention throwing in a nice pinch of elitism, hypocrisy and just plain confusion. Seriously, are drinking too much coffee or something? Vermilion made some very good points, as did killingpeople. They also…
Scoob: Hope you don't mind the minor de-railage, it's fairly relevant and (I hope) helpful! Bronco: The place I got my Sculpey from was the Newcastle Arts Centre, in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. I've looked but can't find a place to buy it online in the UK. Doubtless there are other art shops which sell the stuff (probably one in…
Hey T, you can find balsa wood in modelmaking shops super easily. It's the material of choice for gliders and such. Last time I used some it came in sheets of roughly 10*40 centimeters.

I know I'm a little late on this. But my external USB HD failed on me (Firelite 40GB). Well the Table of Contents failed. I had to hit Fry electronics for a 44 to 40 pin IDE converter and found someone who had easyrecovery. The sad part is most of the files where so fragmented I was only able to recover maybe 19% of the…
I think you need to change your outlook my dude. The people you refer to as 'snobs' are just other artists trying to ensure the games or shows they're working on meet a quality bar. If I'm hiring, and looking at a portfolio, and 50% of that artist's work is substandard, or looks amateurish, I'm going to assume 50% of the…
Task Prioritization Overall goals should be prioritized by the stake holders. If the stake holders aren't involved in the decision process, then there's a great likelihood that they won't fully understand the work that your team is doing. This can cause future large workloads on your team, as well as undervaluing of your…
I would say the games industry is turbulent due to Global Events and the huge shifts of uncertanty post Covid. On top of this Seasonal Trends and so many different Technology Shifts going on. I have students making Assets for Dekogon with polycounts that I could only have dreamed of. Then there is the Economic Factors,…
FInished with the pitchdeck art. I ended up not using some of the illustrations I made. Should have actually built the slides first because once going through it, becomes much easier to understand it from the potential viewers perspective. then i updated plan on what art is needed. most the stuff I made will be used one…
