CHENNAI/TIRUPUR: Nineteen-year-old Shravanti Rangaraj has been besotted with colours and fabric ever since she was in class 8. Little wonder then that she dreamt of making it big in the fashion industry.

Honing the skills of creative youngsters like Shravanthi are fashion institutions such as National Institute of Technology (NIFT) and NIFT-TEA Knitwear Fashion Institute, Tirupur, that offer many unique courses apart from fashion technology.

Like any creative profession, fashion design requires an artistic view of the world combined with the skill to visualise a concept and transform it into reality. If you have an eye for detail, a creative imagination and the ability to express your design on paper, you may just have the makings of a designer in you.

"We have a set of creative and technically competent professionals to train our students. NIFT-Chennai provides a platform for fashion education, research and training. All our courses are designed to land you a good career in the fashion industrybe it in design, management, communication or technology," said Dr S Devadoss, director of NIFT-Chennai.

The NIFT classrooms in Chennai are equipped with audio-visual equipment and separate manufacturing laboratories. The mechanised labs give students hands-on training in garment manufacturing, pattern making, dyeing and printing. NIFT-Chennai also has 2D and 3D modelling facilities and a research lab for statistical analysis and market research.

Sketching and illustration, knowledge of colours and a vivid imagination are important. Fashion is as much about technique as about style. Thorough knowledge of manufacturing techniques, garment construction, plant efficiency, labour management, zero-defect production are relevant to this industry.

The institute also offers fashion and clothing technology, fashion and knitwear production technology and marketing and merchandising programmes in the continuing education stream. NIFT also has collaborations with Queensland University of Technology, Australia, De Montfort University, UK, and Mod Art International, Paris .

For those looking for specialisation at the undergraduate level, NIFT-TEA Knitwear Fashion Institute at Mudalipalayam in Tirupur is the place to be. Started by a group of exporters 14 years ago, NIFT-TEA is the country's only knitwear fashion technology institute.

The institute caters to the human resource requirements of the knitwear industry and has bachelor's and master's degree courses in fashion design, knitting technology, processing, apparel production, management and merchandising.

Dungeon Siege 3 Getting Better PC Controls | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Obsidian lead designer Nathaniel Chapman has stated in that the developers are currently working on a patch to improve the PC version of ‘s keyboard and mouse controls. I’ve yet to play the PC version of DS3, but I was witness to Alec’s agitated bellowing about the PC controls (among other things), so I’m going to go ahead an assume that this is a good thing.

Actually this is one thing I would have liked to have spent more time on… Basically, I think as long as PC gamers have a good way to control the combat they will enjoy it. One review – I can’t remember which – said if you play with a game pad the combat is great, so right now we’re working on improving the PC controls through an update.

I think if there are PC gamers who are having a negative reaction it’s less about what the combat is, it’s more how the combat controls.

I think our loot system has a lot of strengths but one of the weaknesses is that it’s not very clearly communicated what each of the stats does… I think having a more fleshed-out tutorial system for the stats and what they do and how they function would be a nice thing. Having more unique armour variants too. It’s always good sequel or DLC material.

So, I think there are two things. One is the rose-coloured glasses effect. I think older games were just as buggy [as newer ones], but we’re more tuned-in at looking for the bugs. I personally remember old PC games and even old Nintendo games that had tons of bugs.

I think the big difference is that the core technology of games has gotten more complex and it’s very difficult to get out all the little bugs. Usually in an old 2D Nintendo game a bug is no more than a few lines of code to fix, whereas in a 3D game it could be something in the animation system stomping memory in the renderer. There are so many more layers that it’s very hard to catch all the bugs.

On the flipside, I think more what gamers should expect when they go out and buy a game is that they get an experience that’s worth their money. But it’s very hard to say what that is.

You haven’t played the the PC version? Which platform did you use for your Eurogamer review, Quintin? I’m positively shocked. Shocked I tell you!

I played the PC demo with the mouse and hated it. Revisiting it with a gamepad after reading your review was a revelation. Much more fun. Hopefully they can tweak the mouse and keyboard controls to the satisfaction of the players that find gamepads to be sacreligious. Kudos to them for trying.
