yeah...that's what i figured...just thought i'd take a stab at it. we don't own it...haha, too rich for our studio's boold too. it was included in the package we are using for a small outsourcing bit.
How ours is set up right now; divided into two sections. Artsource (source files like sbsar, psd, max etc) and Data (sbs, tga, fbx etc). ARTSOURCE ---------> Shared -> Concrete -> Metal -> Plastic -> Props DATA ---------> Shared -> Concrete -> Metal -> Plastic -> Props What I'm thinking to changing it to; ARTSOURCE…
Isn't the biggest difference between a AAA title and everything else the size of the outsourcing budget? Simple answer... Prototype properly, fix your game design in stone and then work in iterative sweeps across the whole project.
Notice how all the software needed to make art goes up in price, but the actual salaries to afford them remains stagnant/goes down. :/ Now you can see why companies are desperate for outsourcing.
Look to India and the Far East to answer that question, it's 'free' so has no entry barrier. From what I've been seeing a lot of outsourcing companies seem to be using it more than full-on development studios.
Quick question, have you guys considered outsourcing some of this work? I have game coders with "scary sick"experience and resumes that I could put on your project on a contractual basis. care to discuss it?
Yeah... there's always a magic bullet...."we'll outsource everything.... we'll mocap everything.... we'll scan everything...." god forbid you use your head and plan a little better. To simple I guess. DW
Lots of parallels here with the game biz: layoffs, outsourcing, artists forced to act as contractors. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lcB9u-9mVE"]LIFE AFTER PI (Official) - YouTube[/ame]

It honestly sounds like some outsourcing freelancer trying to scam you with the way you've typed it out. If that is a direct quote from the e-mail, in all caps and bad grammar....yeah. Sounds pretty fishy to me.
