I just bought a "cheapie" Asus that was $899. It has the Nvidia GTX260M and an Intel Core 2 Duo. The graphics pushing power on this thing is INCREDIBLE. Sure the processor could be a bit faster, but for doing 3D stuff I don't have to compromise anything when compared to working on my desktop PC. Best laptop I've owned. For…
i had a friend encounter this same situation. he graduated with a bachelors and did not get a job right away, so he decided to go to school 6 months later to get his masters. now i guess his incentive was that if he had his masters, at least he could apply to teach at some universities.. if he didnt get a job at a nice big…
Uncharted 2/3 had Nathan Drake at 35k triangles with no LOD. Ryse's main character was, I believe, ~80k triangles. Those should give you a good base for what to aim for in terms of fidelity. I won't be surprised to hear of main cinematic characters with 100k triangles for this gen games.

I've been an art director for various things (games and graphic…
You have a good start here, the general rings around the eyes and mouth are starting to come together, but I think you need to take a second look at how all those loops fit together and work together. Specifically problem areas are the pole near your brow ridge, and under your jaw, those 2 loops are not gonna be fun to…
Leave the resolution at 72. Even if you were rendering for print its usually faster for Maya to just render at 3 - 4 times the dimension sizes than it is to render at 300 dpi*. Then go into the Maya Software tab, and change the Quality drop-down to Production Quality. This is a preset that will also change the Edge…

Starting a business here is not really that hard but the problem is that a lot of activities are failing due to the economic crisis so it's difficult to keep a profitable company.
