I've got a unique perspective on things as I've looked into both sewing AND 3D printing for different hobbies. Sewing as a young kid, 3D printing as I got older. As someone who owned and learned how to use a sewing machine at the ripe old a

okay, first, you can't use html in an hn post for formatting. you should go back and add two-return-key paragraph breaks, so your post will be readable. I had the exact same thing happen to me the other day when trying to submit a p

I've always been the kind of person who loves sleeping in. I've got several alarm clocks strategically placed in my room so that I can't simply turn them off without having to actually get out of bed and because there are several of them, t

So the only way to stay quit is to adopt a rule: I will not smoke cigarettes because I am not allowed to smoke cigarettes. I guess that's a lot like the concept of principles and paradigms that Covey advocates in his 7 habits of highly e

The ironic thing that really amazes me about the whole censorship thing is that these proposals are being pushed primarily from the left wing side of our political system. The other ironic thing is that our right wingers are called the Libe

I spent a little while considering whether or not to post in this thread, but here goes.... All we need now is to figure out how to attach these frikkin' lasers to some sharks.

If they had developed a way for 12 animators to make a feature of that could compete with the features being made by 100-200 animators then sure Aah, I think we have some wires crossed here - I'm not trying to make films to start out with

I'm just investigating the idea at the moment, I don't have my heart set on the zombie genre. I guess I'm really trying to feel my way through various settings that could be technologically doable with a small-scale team. This is just one o

Is a digital animation studio a startup? Why not? I wouldn't have thought startups are limited only to webapps/software? We're building from the ground up? It doesn't really have a huge scaling potential does it? Why not? Yo

First, I'll note that what you wrote here somewhat contradicts your original post Straw man argument. The original post was a series of questions. My reply to your comment was the hypothesis I posed to myself. They don't contradict

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not (the general tone of your comments in the past seems to suggest a general negative attitude), but I thought I'd address some of your points. Let me tell you this, now you and every small time director

Cheers for that. I haven't been in a comic book store for about 17 years, so I'll have to go check it out.

You're wrong actually, and I'll tell you why. I have a hunch that people who are early adopters of things online are usually the same kind of people who are into Zombie films. The whole point of putting this onto HN (as opposed to a movie s

I do like both to be honest, the shambling ones I like because it looks very well done in large packs of zombies. Also I do understand why people use the enhanced reflex ones, because they can use those traits to startle an audience effecti

But the upside: Apocalyptic scenarios in general give lots of options for plot and character development and interaction. That's kinda what I was aiming at, plus on the upside, one can generate lots of zombie models randomly fairly quickl

Not at all, I'm trying to discern what the specifics things people like most about zombie films. If it's because of a sexy female lead, then that's a valid point. What was your opinion on the movements of the zombies? Do you prefer shamblin

Having a look at your responses throughout this thread it seems like you're looking for reasons to go rather than reasons not too. Starting a startup is a huge commitment, potentially a lifelong one depending on your idea. If you're even sl

Simply awe inspiring. Bookmarked for sure. I've recently started assembling an SR-71 kit (with an f-117 to go) because I've always wanted the models sitting on my bookshelf.

I assume this happens due to a widespread belief that building a media company is how a programmer can "make it" these days. Yes in part, but there are also some coders out there who take genuine interest in these things. Take, for
