So I headed on down to Hollywood because Gnomon was showing off an art gallery featuring art from Transformers: War for Cybertron. As soon as I get there, I am immediately greeted by techno music, fancy cheeses and Cactus Coolers. Ignoring the guys playing the game on a projected screen and also dodging some of the more “snoody” attendees, I managed to get inside the actual art gallery to check out some of the “purty pictures”.

 

Some of the game's more gorgeous work was featured on the walls in addition to art from many other niches such as Star Wars, Marvel and Futurama. High Moon Studios' Lead Concept Artist James Daly was also on hand to talk about the art, which he did. Standard fare talk about how the art was made; Maya, zBrush, 3DS Max, etc. However, I was actually taken back a little bit to hear that a lot of the environment work in War for Cybertron was actually done with Google's free version of SketchUp. It was a nice little event all around. However, Gnomon, keep in mind that for future events we would love to see less “snood” and more cheese.

Attention... It was a joke!

There is always "one" in every crowd. That special guest whom everyone can rely on to make snide comments about someone who they just met (or even better; whom they haven't met but, rather, heard from across the room). In this particular instance, you imply that Ol' Pete is that "one" when in fact Ol' Pete was on the receiving end of the snide comments. However, us AWN cats try not to take things too seriously. Water off a ducks back, mate! Aside from that, everything was great; the art, the music, meeting up with James Daly and, of course... the cheese!

Sounds like you might be a bit of a snob. You don't even know the people and you decided their "snoody"? I was their and people were just having a good time, hanging out, drinking beer, playing the game and checking out artwork. Maybe you should explain yourself better, because you're coming off as a jerk, that wishes he was more fawned on. Your the one looking down on people having a good time, who's really snoody?
