Happy Turkey Day!
|
This is the day that all Americans celebrate the natives helping out the settlers a few hundred years ago. Never mind the fact that the native Americans were repaying with slaughtering and disease, this is a day of thanks. Families get together aroun... |

Good Reading Material for Run-Time Adjusted Animations?
|
At work we're working on a game that requires a metric butt load of animation variations due to physical interactions between multiple objects. This probably seems like a really general question, but I was wondering about good reading resources... |

tkinter / PyQT / wxPython
|
There are so many options for Python GUI development and I don't really understand the intrinsic differences between them. I've looked their websites and they don't really discuss their "philosophies", which I might use to garner some idea from.

Autodesk acquires XSI!

You can check it out here.
Autodesk now owns 3DS Max, Maya, MotionBuilder, Mudbox, and XSI. Absolutely insane. I'm really interested in seeing how XSI's development will be affected. Softimage has gone through a lot of effort to introduce new feat... |

Organizing Project Types in Visual Studio?
|
I have no idea how to do this, so I figured I'd go to the infinite wisdom of the Lounge for help.
I decided to give some C#/XNA development a try. I installed XNA Game Studio 2, and then after deciding to take a peek at GarageGame's Builder X, I r... |

Maya style navigation in Max?

I have spent the last couple of years using Maya and the company I work with now uses Max. I am a Game Designer, so I haven't had to do any 3D work since I got here. I have, however, decided to take it upon myself to learn to use Max, to hopefully do... |

Portfolio Article

If you're already used to web coding, then you can use FlashDevelop, ActionScript, FLEX, and the Adobe iPhone Packager. They're all free tools. The only thing you have to pay for is the Apple developer fee and an iOS device to test your work ... |

Which modeling software should I use?
|
If you really like Max then just use Max. Sure, there are minor differences in the features between Max, Maya, and XSI, but they are just that - minor. Use what you're going to be the most productive in, based on how you work and what you know. |

Let me start off by saying that if I were hiring a writer, and one of the writer potentials sent me an entire film script, I wouldn't read the damn thing. I really do have better things to do that read a 100 page script from a single writing can... |

I have no idea WTF you're talking about, but have you ever used an app like Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender? Sounds exactly what you're talking about .... well, after it has been expanded past the 'very basic' part. |

How much should I charge for 2D art? What is average?

I think Antheus is a bit overboard on what goes into what a contractor should charge, but there is a point to be observed. How long does it take you to make a building tile like that? How much do you want to make per hour? How much rework does y... |
