I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking for interview advice here and I want to thank everybody who posted advice, it was much appreciated. The interview was a success and I got my first job (environment artist on the console team at Creative Assembly) I'm just waiting for the paperwork to come through.

Thanks polycount! I couldn't have done it without you. Time to get drunk

~ Great!!!! Nice to hear some good news. Especially after all the bad ones these last few days. You know like:

Rare firing all their fulltime staff or
Activision closing down Luxoflux or
Activision cutting Radical studios or
Activision closing down the '7 studios' team or
Disney shutting down Propaganda games or
Mirrors Edge 2 being cancelled by EA or
Activision closing Bizarre Creations or
Activision firing a wave of ppl at Freestyle games or
Activision killing Guitar Hero or
Activision killing the True Crime series or
Crysis 2 getting leaked in front of the poor studios very eyes or
Killzone getting leaked 1 month before is out.

So yes. Sincere thank you for cheering up my month and giving us a happy thread ^_^
Also, don't be sad when Kevin McDowell gets grumpy. He's secretly full of love and cuddles inside.

Wow Activision is earning a reputation for "company most likely to lay you off"!

Some nice tuts on your site too mate I learned stuff from them, definitely. Did you know about the F3-F4 visibility toggle though? When you were skinning your shotgun, you were trying to get a view from inside the mesh.
