RPI Presentation Videos

I'm giving a presentation to the RPI Game Club tonight. My talk is essentially a giant brain dump of things that I've learned working in games. I'll be talking about how I got into the industry (somewhat accidentally, but then not), some nuts and bolts stuff about what I do (rigging, skinning, animation process), what it's like to work with a designer to get a character in game (what sort of specs they give you, concept of animation passes), some general company culture and process stuff (scrum, source control, etc), and some advice for things they can be doing while they're in school to help their chances at breaking into the industry (reading things, critical thinking, doing game jams, etc). It's going to be at least an HOUR long. I hope they don't get bored. :)

Just in case my videos are too big to copy over to their computer, I've put them all up on youtube - so I figured I could also post them here, in case anyone was interested. Special thanks to youtube for being so easy!! 

Giant post - go!

Here's a series of videos showing what it's like to rig, skin and animate a character in Biped:
