Intro

Skills: Programming, Scripting, Building, Sculpting, Mesh modeling, Material mapping, UV mapping, "Seamless" Texturing, User interface design(HUDs), Animation, and Architecture.

I guess you could say I'm an ace of all SL trades.

My skill set came from video game design on indie titles for the PC and Xbox 360.

I try my hardest to extend sl's possibilities by bringing real world integration and standards to the sl scripting database and teaching math at a practical standpoint.

Our Gearwolf company basically invented a box factory that creates the boxes people think inside of, that's how far outside the box we love to think. Due to this standard it takes projects much longer to be completed.

My inspiration to do all this and work this hard is from one of my scripting teachers and mr Nexii Malthus.

Medium-time Resident of 6 something years.

14 years of modeling experience in real world video games (mesh/voxel).

10 years of programming experience in a variety of languages.

NOTE: To you stupid mesh clothing designers that make irregular tessellated clothing

Regular quad tessellation - for rigged clothing

Irregular triangle tessellation - for cloth simulation

Two GREAT examples of how NOT to model clothing. Top is quads however it has way to high of a polycount. Bottom is just plain stupid you should NEVER use irregular tessellated mesh for anything anywhere expect cloth simulation.
