I feel like I've seen these slides a couple of years ago....anyways...its pretty much good advice. The "no porn elves/racial/gangsta" whatever bit just sounds a bit biased and could be worded better IMO. "Porn Elves" to me needs clarification because a lot of whats done today falls under her description of "porn elves". If…
So this looks really cool! and the lighting is neat, I played the demo and I have some comments: The specularity and lack of reflection on the water puddle is kinda jarring, I walked past it and it turned white and was confused, playing with a Fresnel effect on that will be helpful. The specularity and reflections on the…
I agree with MagicSugar^ about the indie projects with higher level people. (If you can...) The best things I find is switch off your mental intellect, and just do the work. Happy accidents do happen more often than disappointing ones when you start making stuff. Even if you don't necessarily feel like doing so. The catch…
I guess it's too late to comment on this since you're pretty happy with it :) but I agree with the comments posted earlier about certain elements of this feel "quick". The lighting and coloring of the scene is nice but the pipes and door look low res and gamey. I understand that it's just a simple door and they're just…
Reasonable questions, good Sir. I am currently working out the details regarding this plant species. As I am on quite a tight schedule for this project, the plant specis is mainly fiction, while the ship design is mostly based on today's human technology (to not go overboard with the craziness). You could imagine the…
Shotgun: Your definition of an attitude amuses me. I take the role of hiring manager in my day job, and art director in my soon to be studio job. I take offense that this was posted, but I made the statement about not being innocent as well. I've had horrible experiences with drugs, so I'ma bit biased. I've had 3 close…
Yea, we are definitely at the dawn of the next greatest art form, though it's not come to full fruition yet. I definitely agree with ya though Ninjas. It's very frustrating talking to people who dislike video games merely because of stereotypes and/or the media. Oh well, it'll change, it'll just require a generation or…
Hey there, yeah I think there might be ways to implement this 'cursor buffer' in max. I got the feeling that some tools in max behave that way already, for instance compared to maya. But hey I might just be biased hehe. The tool is super handy, I use it alot :P If you want to improve on the functionality further, there…
Too bad. Thats what the internet was before social sites, and people silly enough to spew their identities all over. Let me ask, is there any non biased psychological profile data you can point to that shows a direct link between a way a online identity works versus a real person? Why should I just not lie, and give the…
Moral of the story, make informed decisions about how you spend your money, and don't just listen to the biased propaganda of either side, whether its a company pushing a product or a bunch of dumb hippies trying to make me feel bad for not having a carbon footprint as small as theirs. How about instead of making up…
