[Guiberu]

Hey! i'm there dude.........

oh no wait......i'm 15, in England......and despise anything that has any singular tie to the Microsoft corperation.........


may you burn in hell good sir

[SniperMaster]

lol!

BHG_dave you might want to get in contact with r13 over at polycount. He often posts when a company is hireing on the front page.

Sniper- this is a great place to post stuff like this. He is looking for low poly artists.

i second that

Sniper- 3dtotal forums hav some great artists... this is a perfect place to post something like this

Guiberu- whats ur reason for hating any1 connected with Microsoft.... or r u just jumping on the 'bash Microsoft’ bandwagon because u think its cool or something .... :mad:


BHG_dave i hope these fools haven’t scared u off from ever posting something like that again .... there r plenty of talented artist here that would probably suit this work .... i wish i could but i dont think im good enough yet

[SniperMaster]

Yeah....but like...Maggem is near enough the only person here that stats to fill what their asking for (texture:3dsmax)
its not likely they're gonna find anyone here that fills their criteria or whatever.

[X5.]

i didnt know u knew the talent of every single person that is a member or a lerker

this is a 3d site ... ppl that do 3d gather here .... so u think posting a job for that requires 3d would be suited here

this place isnt just full of kids u kno

[Dark Bob]

Also:

Snipermaster- look at your reply to this thread. The first reply to a guy who just did his first post. Kind of makes us look like a hostile community. I for one think he posted in the best place at Threedy for a game related topic. As X5 said you never know who lurks, someone might see BHG_dave's request as a job opportunity. As someone who has been here for a long while now you should know you represent the 3DT community. Think before you post.

Guiberu- Thumper once said "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all." Your comment was unneeded. It did not help BHG_dave in any way, shape or form. You can keep your little vendetta against Microsoft to yourself because frankly we don't care that you hate them. Being a smart ass to dave was pointless. Think before you post.

BHG_dave- I hope you will look around the forums and see that its full of nice people. Don't let this spoil your view of us. Best of luck on your search for an artist.

Hey man i am just putting togather a nice assortment of stuff for you, i am always looking for opportunity,.

[Apt Pupil]

SniperMaster and Guiberu --> You shouldn't base everyone on your inadequate art experience and age. Not everyone here are like you two. There are some really talented people floating around these boards (exspecially in the contest section).


Dark Bob -->

[bood]

yeah also, not everyone who goes here is a registered memeber, you gotta remember that, and new people are finding this place everyday

[MonteCristo]

Ok, it's quite simple really, if you don't have anything useful to say, I recommend you don't say anything. Guiberu, SniperMaster if you look at a thread where someone is asking a question or proposing something and it doesn't apply to you, or you don't know anything about it, please move along to another thread, and save the smart wise-cracks. As you can see, this thread is a good example where you both typed without really thinking. There are a lot of people on these forums who, A: could apply to this job, and B: are qualified for it. I suspect a lot of people would be glad to be offered an opportunity like this.

i think it's pretty cool that game development agencies show interest at some of threedy's great 3d artists. if i would be better at modelling and if i would be a RTS game fan and if i wouldn't live in Holland, i might give it a shot

down with microsoft, burn city hall, microsoft must go down. Die microsoft, and ya. ummMMMmmmmMMMMmmm...
grow up my ass!

seriously though microsoft's domination in the industry is too great, they have os, they have a lot of the buiness programs, they have a lot of games. What's next, cad? I mean seriously microsoft is a trust, as much carnigie steel, or rockafeller's oil. Where's roosevelt when you need him?
