Blog post
Time for my first post on GG (not including hacking Ari's account), woohoo!

Hi, I'm Jon. I work at BrokeAss Games with Ari, Rex (aka teh Rexican) and Mo. I have shoulder-surfed Ari for about two years and have often wanted to post comments, but never made an account. I enjoy reading these blogs/forums as part of my daily routine and look forward to contributing at some level.

As for background on myself, little is known and it's closely guarded. I met Ari, the lead dev of Ruin Online and creator of the BrokeAss vision, when we were teenagers, about 15 years ago. Feels like 30. He, Mo and I met in high school in Northern California. D&D, paintball, martial arts, hacking, and home-medicating - the classic skills chicks dig; we embraced it all. So now we're making an indie MMO (about 2yrs deep), its fun.

Recently, Rex has come aboard and has been a major asset! (Did he just say asshat?) He's teaching me alot of the classic character design rules that I missed, since I learned on the mean streets. We spend most of our time working on our characters which are available as a drag and drop BVH/mocap character solution for Torque, and featured in Ruin Online.

The four of us head off the BAG team and work with various web-devs from our Ruin Online Test community, which is about 5000 members (some of which might be porn-spam bots). Our mirror site (mmosite.com) shows nearly 4000 downloads of our BETA4 client, so things are starting to pick up, we're getting a lot of testers and a lot of good volunteer offers. Thanks guys!

I look forward to meeting some new contacts here at GG, so drop me a line if you like to walk on the beach and talk about pixels.

What path (in terms of export tools) do you take to bring models from ZBrush to Torque?

Zbrush3 -> Milkshape -> DTSExporterPlus
