do you do any modeling? (no not runway modeling lol)

[Youme]

No I haven't ventured into modeling atall, hence why snipergen is making me a model.
I'd love to try but I can't get any software cheaply and for some reason blender runs slower than defrag on my pc.
I've used photoshop a lot and know my way around texture making reasonably well

you might be able to get a discount if you're a student through your school.
or you can 'acquire' it. :closedeyes:

[timberghost_paintball]

I'm an art student studying game design. I mostly do modeling uv-mapping and texturing but I've gotten my feet wet in most areas of game development. I obviously use hammer and source sdk for some projects but I also use the torque engine, the free gamemaker engine, and flash.

btw Dr.pepper my dad in a mechanical engineer, he uses solidworks these days instead of cad

and Youme, the guy at the desk next to me is a British student studying game design here is the U.S.

[Youme]

Timber - awesome, where abouts in the states are you and how did he go about moving there?

yea ive been pushing for us to get solid works but 'the man' here at work wont do it since it will require we upgrade all the computers. :sad:

[ryodoan]

Currently in my 3rd year (outa 5) of a Computer Science degree.

I am in whats called Co-Op program where you work in your field for 2 quarters, then go to school for 2 quarters. So when I graduate I will have 2 years of work history in the field and have real world experience.

So, at the moment I am in the "Work" rotation at a Software Development company. To get technical for a moment we make "Application Lifecycle Management Software" basically we make a really popular Bug tracking program that a lot of big companies use (2k games use it), a Version Control Database (think cvs, subversion, perforce, Visual Source Safe to name a few others), and a test case automation program.

I work on the Version Control program. (currently writing / finishing an integration with NetBeans)

tigerdirect? wow didnt know that.
the times ive bought something from there have been ok, its the rebates that kill you.

[TheBladeRoden]

I am between college and work right now. :\/

[ryodoan]

I hate rebates, I buy them, fill them out, send them back in, then forget about them and forget to check up on them. There have been several that after about a year I will think, "Hey! I didnt get that rebate back..."
