Progress Report: I am deciding to gamble and go to GDC this year. I am particularly interested in moving to Texas, as such I think I am going to cross reference the expo floor with companies I know are in Texas. I have learned a great deal about UDK and feel -very- confident to say I "know" how to use it. I am in the…

I re-install Windows a lot, sometimes, I currently have Windows 8 RC and still need to upgrade to Pro. Not only that but…

After having had a chance to try out max again (v. 9) I actually think max is a terrible mess.…
[ QUOTE ] seems to me that those who complain so much about zbrush's interface didn't try hard enough. a dig through some of those tuts in the partical guide should have get you started. it may be weird at first but it's nothing that you can't learn to work with in a few hours. heck, far less weird than lightwave GUI, imo…
If you want to be a character artist in a game studio, start making game art characters. All of your work is pre-rendered or half finished looking, with pretty bad presentation.
