You mean it hasn't started already? There are literally hundreds of sites with browser based arcade games. There are also MMORPG's that are browser based. Unfortunately, they're not very good. You probably mean browser games will soon be as advanced…
There are quite a few sites with tutorials, they were very helpful for me. Give them a try.
As for experiences, the user interface is different from Maya. Especially if you're using vesion 2.4x. I've tried version 2.50 briefly and it looks much sle…
Yeah, I'm sure most filmmakers prefer directing to begging for money. ^_^
Thanks for passing along this info...

All I know is from what my friend who did produce a short film that made a few festivals on the mainland.
He had to make contacts through others with potential backers...then meet with them to discuss the project. Thing is with no previous films un…
Thanks for the insight Francis. Budgets, scheduling and logistics I have experience from my career as a software engineer. So I have no problems there. Raising money, though. That was usually the program managers job. Though, I'd imagine it's some w…
Hi Jimen!

As for iPhone development...It's easier than you think, although you do need to learn how to program in Objective-C...But that's pretty easy too. You just have to buy the $99 license from Apple, download the SDK, oh, get yourself an iPhone and you're good to go.
They have a bunch of little sample apps on getting OpenGL ES up and running, setting up a view...Using the accelerometers, etc...I think the biggest hurdles are 1) coming up with your own ideas and 2) creating a good method of getting user input (since there aren't any buttons or tactile feedback)...
Oh and check out http://unity3d.com/
It's a 3D engine that you can use to develop stuff for the desktop, web, iPhone and Wii...Been wanting to pick it up but there's a big bruhaha at Blue Lava (shake up of management, might lose our jobs, etc)...So guess it'll have to wait for the time being...
I see Jacques and Malcolm walking around town every now and then, but that's pretty much all I see from BAE these days.
Gotta head out to lunch with my usual lunch partner, but I'll check the comment wall when I get back...

- Hey Jimen,
Long time no speak! Yeah I create a couple of iPhone ones that are currently selling on the App Store. Unfortunately, there are so many coming out on a daily basis, they quickly get buried...So they're only making a couple bucks a day now...Gotta get cracking again...
What about you?

- Welcome Jimen! We hope you are having a nice weekend. We have several other members involved in the film industry and about a dozen that do game development.
The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as C/C++ Developers and Game Developers.
We hope to see you in the groups and forums. Have a great week!
