Re: Predictions for future workflows and technologies
hi, not sure what exactly you want to address with this? No one knows the future :) Make good art, become efficient (with whatever tools suits you) the rest doesn't matter. Tools come and go.

It took us way too long to make (1.5 years), we initially started off mucking around in unity not knowing what to do and somehow we managed to blindly grope our way onto iTunes. Its 1.5 years I'll never… -
Max displays normal maps incorrectly, when using nitrous direct3d.
First post. Let me use this oppertunity to say that this community is awesome and I appreciate the honest feedback people get.

Re: How Do You Make a Flow Map?
Good! Close enough! But not quite right (I think)... So here is my solution...
