You know what, I totally agree. Using a browser based software renderer, you can't start fussing around with perfect z sorting, it's ridiculous. I think it's equally ridiculous to have realtime lighting, cutting down an already small polygon budget to like 20% of what it would be with just baked textures :D I'm sure you've…

Definitely been there man. I've been pretty fortunate though. Got my first industry gig 3 months out of art school and had full time for 8 years before I got laid off for the first time. Now I'm back at my first company making fun art after a 9 month unemployment stint. But that 9 month stint was rough. I was still very…
How important are size and weight? IMO a good laptop should be as portable as possible, otherwise what is the point? The Alienware 17 mentioned above is over 9 pounds, you can build a desktop workstation that doesn't weigh much more than that. I'm a big fan of ultrabooks in the 13-14" or so range, which are usually 3.5…
The Beginning Went to DigiPen to get my BFA and graduated in the guinea pig class in 2008. My brother and his wife also are in the industry and graduated from DigiPen's AAA program when it still existed and my brother basically kept an ear out for a contract gig at X studio as my starter job (and boy did it pay like one).…

spitty, Good for you if the pipeline is working. In order to control the test in different version of max, I need your favor to use the Same ztool as starting point. -Download 'the Ztool' from the link below. (which you can skip step 1 and 2 from 1st post)…
Hi everyone. Thanks for viewing our thread. Since the project has already been in development for quite a while before starting this topic thread, I thought it might be worth showing some of the early iterations and work of the film as well as where we are now. There were 21 iterations of the previs but I'll only post the…
It depends on the project and resolution. The longest I've had for 15k poly characters is 3-4 weeks. I am working on 3-4k polys and 1024 textures at the moment and spend 2 weeks on them. 4-5 days for high poly, 1-2 days for low poly and uvs, 4 days for texturing and setting up in-game shaders. Usually a TD rigs the stuff.…
What you want to do is eat what is meant for the system not try to figure out what is causing the issue. (sadly you will find 90% of "food" to be not so great, i suppose people base the "judgements" on what is "worth it" against its taste of satisfaction level.) For me having learned about eating by experience has been…
