Thanks Bunge, I've been looking at a jarb waaaaaaaaaay over there ever since I got into Halo, though, I'm not a programmer or a guy with a huge degree, just a high school diploma...so.........yeah, However I'm a great artist, been drawing ever since I could hold a dam pencil (HB FTW) and acing sculpture, paint, various forms of printmaking and such, and just recently picked up Photoshop and am getting extremely good at 2D art, textures and unwrapping and painting 3D content. Now I'm starting to learn Maya, build levels, unwrapping level geometry, concepting, painting and applying textures to the levels. I'm also quite well grounded with your HEK and Blam! engines. Anyway, I have a point to all this: Point is - does a person like me who has The Skillz™ but only did high School need the big fancy shmancy degrees if they've got the love, passion, skills and drive for art and game design? I sure hope not :( People like that allways would flourish under the wing of such a large team of talented people. Thanks :) [Edited on 05.24.2007 9:28 PM PDT]
