I have been digging deep to find resources to help me make better games. Here is a video course on Vimeo(downloadable) that will teach you the animation principles and apply them to 3D animations:

I was browsing on make human and came across a video of this tool that lets you wrap topology of a model around a 3d scan.

Bret Victor seems to think that the future of programming will be more node-based too. This guy is awesome by the way.

The one thing that has plagued me is the disorganized complexity of the whole computer programming situation.
Gist, Gits, Stack Overflow, Gamedev.net, IRC freenode, branches, forks, etc.
There are a billion ways to do a billion things.
I called it all "Disorganized Complexity."
It seems I wasn't the…

I've diagnosed myself with having an inferiority complex:

So, someone recently (perhaps accidentally) introduced me to the term "fuzzy logic," and this is what I have been looking for! I am having a sort of hard time wrapping my head around how it works exactly, because I have only been using Boolean logic. However, since I am new to programming, I am not…

I have some life stuff to workout, so I will be checking out for a while. Thanks everyone who responded to my questions here. I have been recommending this site to people I come across. I haven't been here long enough to really get to know everyone, but I do know that this site is well maintained a…

I use the Maratis 3D engine, and I was fortunate enough to meet someone who did a very good tutorial on how to make game characters using Blender and Makehuman. In no time I had a decent character that could be animated.

So, I was inspired to make a video game by a video game that teaches you about developing video games.
GameDev Tycoon? Have you heard of it?
I might end up buying the game solely for educational purposes. I even took notes!
This game should be advertised on Gamedev.net's main page.
Edit: On top of that…

false.
The world is full of truth and fallacy. Our own logic systems work based on these two things.

So, I was in college for engineering and my school required laptops. I had a low paying job, but it paid enough for me to be able to buy the best gateway I could afford at the time. It was about $1500 but the value was in the graphics card which, I have to say, was awesome.

One day many moons ago, my friend came over to our house as he usually did when he didn't have homework. He brought with him this paper crane. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I just kept starring at it, marveling. So I asked him how he made it. He would not tell me how to make it. I …

When I was in school, I was a bit slower than others to catch on to something, but when I did, I had it. Most of the time I was churning things in my head, moving it around, diagnosing it. So, I would do poorly in the course more than likely, and then at the end of the course I would have the "Eure…

I know a lot of people can relate. I see it on health sites and on programming sites, and on every single forum.
Someone is in dire need of help and you get all these extremely annoying replies.
Some guy thinks it is absurd to ever need help and says, "google it."

Okay, I have made a lot of inquiries, but I haven't been programming a lot. Just been gathering information I thought would be useful. That's why I have been posting the topics I have. Rather than post "help with my homework) posts, I have been posting discussion topics. Trying to feel out the indu…

So, when I am on this site, I am a total noob, but on this other site they think I am a genius. hehe.

I have always had thus idea, that if you can't mask something easy for a little child to understand, you reall can't teach.
Today I found a quote by Albert Einstein;
"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
? Albert Einstein

Found this definition:
A dime is a small amount of money. A dozen is 12 items.
When something or someone is described as being a dime a dozen it literally means that you can get lots of them for a small amount of money. - ie There are plenty more like them about. (the person or item is not unique.)

A little frustrated because just browsing through forum posts on any programming website full of competent programmers sounds like alien talk.

So, it is sunny outside, and that makes you happy, so you go outside to play. But then, it starts raining which makes it rainy, and that causes you to be sad. So, you decide to go to sleep.
I sat down today and thought of a way to program cause and effect. I came up with this notation:

So, I am the type to work by trial and error, usually. I get stuff done, sometimes.
However, every time I sit down, gather my thoughts and type out a plan, it seems I have more control over the processes I take to accomplish something.

Am I trying to change the world? Am I trying to create something I will play every day of my life to pass time? Am I trying to make money from it?

I had a eureka!
So, a friend and I were bored, and we were wondering what we could do together to not be bored. We could have talked, or we could have watched a movie, or we could have listened to music etc. But we wanted to have fun without having to go out somewhere and spend money.
Well, we played…
