Industry standards rarely make any sense.
Incidentally, if any of you work at the backroom in a grocery store, this is also why your boxcutter sucks.
You could be the best writer in the world but if your script is not written in Media Screenwriter/Final Draft, you can bet your ass a producer will throw that thing into the garbage bin.
Flash is an outdated resource-hogging piece of crap that subsists entirely on its having cornered the market beforehand. It's decent to throw something together in a short amount of time, and its tweening is good if you have the preproduction time to renderfarm a high-quality finished product (see broadcast cartoons), but God help you if you try to do something in runtime.
Like, Unity is also a piece of crap that has terrible compatibility support, but almost every Flash program ever would run faster and leak less memory in it.
Man, it really irks me to think about how much longer we'll have to wait before free software stops getting such a bad rap in the professional world. Stuff like the Blender Foundation's Open Movies really ought to be getting so much more attention...
Standalone MPlayer (and by extension, standalone MPlayer2) is another one of those command-line programs that's meant to be controlled with keyboard shortcuts and such. If you'd rather have a GUI interface, either get SMPlayer2 to go with it or look elsewhere. (Don't use MPlayer's internal GUI. Hopefully the new maintainer will be able to make it good given enough time, but right now it's just plain horrible.)
SMPlayer is actually really good though.
I don't think I ever said that it wasn't.
You didn't, but you said "either get SMPlayer2 to go with it or look elsewhere". I was just expressing my recommendation out of those options.
Blender at least has a decent reputation. At the very least, when I was an intern my supervisor recommended it to anyone who wanted to get into art or better understand the technical aspect of the constraints they work under and how we can code with them in mind. By the time you apply for an actual position they want you preparing for a licensed tool (typically Maya or ZBrush, which are genuinely a bit more powerful, especially with texturing), but he'd gladly accept a portfolio in open source.
Since I am going into the game design world, I can get away with windows as my main OS after college
Also, finally trying to make the leap to Ubuntu and use Windows 7 as my secondary
Honestly the only reason we ever used anything other than Windows in college was because our department had a hardon for Linux and wanted us all to work on the kernel. Which is starting to bite them in the ass as they slowly realize it doesn't really need that many people working on it, and teaching all their students almost entirely in cold C doesn't really give them a lot of other job opportunities.
some of computers at my college ether use windows xp or win 7.
what's best dvd software for a laptop or computer?.
Again, I'd say VLC, but I'm sure some people here have differing opinions they would like to share...
