In addition to what has already been said, it's simply supply and demand. There are only so many jobs and they go to the higher skilled people. Students are getting churned out faster than jobs are getting produced. A friend sent me this and even tho it's VFX related it's still applicable to games. It's a kinda depressing…
This article explains the deal with the no royalties payed. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/02/infinity-ward-modern-warfare-2-royalties-analysis/#continued Hope the best for ousted dudes. Sounds like a bummer to lose control of the ship you helped sail after 9 years. You know...unless he was using Activision's money to run…
Hey everyone! we've announced a new unit and a new tower. The Grunt "Mr. Moopsy" and the Scout Tower "Optical Aggressor Peruser"! (Grunt, by Brian Cairns, and the scout tower was by Robin Har) We've got more info on them on the site www.towerwarsgame.com, but here's the arts. Also finished up the lava tower level 02. and a…
Or... You can sign up to fight for America and get your citizenship in as little as 6 months. And presuming you survive by dodging mortar rounds for a couple of years in Afghanistan, applying at Blizzard/id/valve should be a piece of cake when you get back "home". :thumbup:…
duh, of course the whole point of an edu license is that you can not use it for commercial purposes. in some cases you even have to renew annually. i know maya used to be like that but maybe that has changed after the big '02 pricedrop. anyway, recently tested modo 10? and boy that interface felt sluggish out of the box.…
I've seen this issue before on my own stuff. Trying to remember what I did to fix it. mental ray seems to have problems when your low poly and high poly are perfectly coplanar and overlapping, regardless of cage, so maybe try dropping something like a Push modifier, slide it underneath your Projection modifier, and set it…
Welcome back to Polycount. Your name is familiar. Intro threads are not banned yet, but I've heard that's in the works. Unfortunately I don't fully remember you, you were probably way before my time. I think I started posting 'round '02? /shrug Nice to meet ya. If you're looking for technical help or artistic feedback for…

Seems like the US isn't even limited by borders anymore. I quote: "The indictment focuses on the movement of funds outside the U.S. and that you can't just…
So apparently there is a big livestream happening this week. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/02/01/atlus-persona-stream-schedule/ There are 3 "mystery" positions on the schedule, so I expect them to be new announcements. One of them will most likely be P5 related and I really hope that we finally get to see some…
Kind of related... First one is inspirational. Gives me hope that if I just keep pushing, no matter the goal, I can achieve some level of success. http://blogs.wnyc.org/radiolab/2010/07/26/secrets-of-success/ This second one I also find interesting. And this guys blog is pretty sweet to boot. :)…
