Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Hiphopapotamus his [CHAT]ing is bottomless

if the tutor does anything you can plead ignorance and hopefully he will learn a lesson about stealing
and if the tutor doesn't do anything, leave it be
then if the friend steals work again, send another email
and if the tutor ignores it again, bring up the tutor's reluctance to punish theft/plagiarism with the HOD or something
this all assumes that you are not GOOD friends with this dude, by the way.
if you are good friends, just tell him that you know he copied it, and that if he keeps it up you'll have to bring it up with the tutor
friendship is all well and good, but he is doing a dickish thing and should be called out on it

You should have just called him out on it and then publicly de-friended him on Facebook, but I honestly don't know what I would have done in that situation. If they aren't serious about art it probably isn't going to matter in the long run whether or not you break them down in public, but then again if you don't it's gonna eat at you, and they likely really deserve to be knocked down a peg.
Reposting this because it's hilarious:

Gonna go hate everyone now.
That also reminds me about how one student in a class I was taking went up for critique on his character design...and the Game Design major next to me immediately recognized what the student had based 99% of his character off of (he changed, literally, almost nothing, not even the colors)...showed me a picture he found in 5 seconds on the internet, proceeded to print it out, then offer his "critique" - which was essentially blasting the kid for plagiarism, and handing the professor the print-out.
I'm pretty sure everybody felt the tension and awkwardness in that room because it was effing crazy. The same two students did the same thing a few weeks later, too, over another assignment (I think the first kid just didn't really understand what a "reference" was, and how to be "inspired" by something without copying it almost to a T).
Definitely better to go with the less dramatic option of email!
I'm thinking of attending Seneca. I hear it has a pretty good animation degree, but if it's more of a traditional college experience i'd like to know what i'm in for. Do the teachers actually help you out, or do you have to figure out most things by yourself? I know I have a lot of issues with my school, but the teachers do make it a habit of helping students out, and in most of my classes you can't move on unless you understand certain art processes effectively (for better or worse).
Is it worth my time and effort? I would like to make a comparison!
Ringling had great teachers for the most part and a large portion of the students really cared about getting better/improving. The most 'bullshit' was definitely in the first year in Foundation. There were some great teachers, but there were of course teachers that had very much gone down a fine arts rabbit hole and didn't appreciate the illustration/computer animation kids.
The teacher would just set up a still life or a model, and tell us to draw with no real direction. This didn't really help me out at the time, and felt like kind of a waste of money. Art schools in Texas really are a bit of a sham if you ask me.

I'm used to seeing wakkawa's work on there, but I haven't seen Tran's there before....and it's really funny that they just end up on the same page.

One of those take aside things, mainly because the dudes just wasting time and money if he's going to cheat through class. And you can't cheat through a real job like that. Personally I'd want my buds to learn and take from class as much as possible feel there getting what they pay for. If he's just going to pass stuff off like this with no real work into it, what's the point of going to class? What's the point paying for all this?
So if you do talk to him, just make it sound like he's cheating himself by taking the easy route if he does agree that he may of took influence or plagiarized it. If not maybe he'll just be more conscious about doing the stuff in the future because someone is noticing. And guilt will gnaw at him.
I'm guessing it would be around 5 minutes into this game before the average person would ride up on the curb and start trying to run pedestrians down. And a further 5 minutes before they realise they've been had and uninstall it.
EDIT: Then again if you buy a game titled Bus Simulator 2010 you really do deserve everything that's coming to you.
I have Bus Simulator 2009.

Apparently there is a market for them...I don't know who these people are, but I'm guessing they have names like Charlton and Ernest.
Also Napp that video had me falling out of my chair laughing, clipping and physics problems have all new meanings.
EDIT: I bet 50% of the males on this forum are called Charlton and the other 50% are called Ernest and in one post I've become the most hated man on the AC.
Also you jerk, my name is Ernest Charlton Sanders the IV
That's some upbeat porno music, I tell you what.
And now I have a short research paper to write before tomorrow morning. Crap.
Oh bittersweet life, I love you so.
It might be old, but it cracks me up every time. :lol: :lol: :lol:
alt topic: so we're reading Sherman Alexie in class and... My teacher showed us this book reading he had. Dude's one of those naturally hilarious guys.

How is a man supposed to plan?

Sublimus, I have always treated the end of my contract as the end of my contract and started to look for new work. Let your lead know you're starting to look, and maybe that will spur them to give you an answer. Or you will find new work!
Also, having your wisdom teeth removed is no fun at all. It's what I did today. Today, my dentist used a set of pliers to break a tooth out of my jaw. It was pretty gross.
It went much better for me than most people I've heard about, though, so at least there's that. It was more annoying and inconvenient rather than pure agony.
Well what do ya' know. As soon as I open my big mouth, they offer me a contract extension!
I'm good for at least three more months, haha!
Yay me!
It seems that mudbox is turning off my tablets mapping for the pen and extending it to my second monitor. Haven't been able to figure out how to stop it.

Too bad potential doesn't keep the fucking lights on. Well, actually it does, but that's not what we're talking about here.
