 New design up in spreadshirt store! |

New design up in the spreadshirt store!
I've also added a 3 Teapots 4XL and a ladies shirt should be up tomorrow. Buy a shirt, look stylish, help fund TAO! Approximately 10% of your purchase goes towards offsetting the costs of the free tshirts I've bought people. So far your purchases have paid for about... 3.5 shirts!
PS, Toli/Sean Dunny, I ripped this design off from your post in the TA Creed thread, if you want a free shirt, buy it and send me the PayPal receipt.

GameDev.net featuring tech-artists.org |
|
Sep 16, 2011 - 1:56 AM - by Rob Galanakis

Check it out on the frontpage here: http://www.gamedev.net/
The article is here: http://www.gamedev.net/page/resource...terviews-r2818
For some background- GameDev.net was the first non-art game dev site I signed up for on the internet and I spent quite a bit of time there. The site has grown (and matured) quite a bit since those days and their Exec Producer, Drew Sikora, has done a fantastic job. If you're looking for an excellent site to learn about and for help with games programming, I'd highly recommend it.
Special thanks to Drew, Bill Crosbie, and Adrian Walker for helping put this together.

GDC2011 Wrapup |

Wow! What an INCREDIBLE GDC! Sorry for the late post- I needed last week to recover. Here's a recap:
Tech Artist Bootcamp
We had some incredible speakers and we were all awed with the attendance and retention. Below are the slides from all the bootcamp presenters. If you want to see a bootcamp next year, please tell us what you liked and didn't like and what you'd like to see covered. I can't speak for Jeff but I imagine he's planning another one. The existing bootcamp discussion thread is here.

King of the Hue Contest |
|
Dec 21, 2010 - 5:44 AM - by Rob Galanakis

Inspired by the repeated discussions about hueing and blending colors that have been created over the years, and all the awesome solutions that I've seen and read, I want to form a compendium of what's been done already, and coax new information from those that haven't explained their techniques.
Hence The King of the Hue.
Submit a (more or less) detailed description of what technique(s) you use and/or have used for hue shifting and changing texture colors.
The rules are simple. PM to me a link to an article or forum/blog post you or a someone else has written on the subject, or write something up and PM it to me. The more in-depth the better, but as long as it is clear, that's all that matters. (and please see the 'Other Rules' below)
Once we get enough entries, I'll write up a synopsis for each and put it up to... [Read More]

Tech-Artists.Org Store Open! |

If you were at GDC last year and/or this year, you're entitled to a free shirt. Please PM me if you'd like to redeem. I can't guarantee I'll order it right away but it shouldn't take too long (I'll probably wait a week or two and order them in a batch). Also, if you were one of the contest winners, you are owed a shirt as well. You may notice some slight changes from your original designs, since I had to recreate them.
The store offers American Apparel (AA) shirts, and Standardweight shirts. The AA are what I vastly prefer, but the Standardweights are of good quality too, and much cheaper. No grey, though.
If you have a logo or design you want to submit, or you'd like to offer an improvement/color choice/new type of item, please post it! Also, if there are any quality problems, please PM or respond here. I did my best to QA things.

TAO Schwag coming soon! |
|
Mar 19, 2010 - 11:48 PM - by Rob Galanakis
|
I finally got around to recreating the winning t-shirt designs (so I could control resolution) and creating shirts and the like. As soon as I get a result I'm happy with from SpreadShirt, I'll open the store officially. And as promised, I'll be giving away as many shirts as my GDC Droid can buy. I have some questions, though:
- How much would you pay for a t-shirt?
- What are your preferred t-shirt colors (white, black, dark gray, light gray, orange)?
- Do you prefer standard, heavyweight, or AA tees? They cost $5.90, $9.90, and $12.90 respectively.
- How much would you pay in graphics? Each graphic is about $3, so with a graphic on the front and text on the back, it'd be about $6 + price of the shirt.
- How much would you pay as a commission/donation (ie, to help pay hosting and licensing costs)?
If you want access to the store, PM me. I just don't want to give out the address officially... [Read More]
