Walk 3 or 4 miles a day.
Got to the gym at least 3 times a week
Draw every day.
Be able to touch my toes. My hamstrings are horribly inflexible and I'm worried it might cause back and posture issues.
Add a 3d project to my portfolio every other month.
Make money off of 3d modeling some how.
Have my portfolio ready for GDC 2017.
Do more tech art related projects, and maybe have a tech art portfolio as well.
Other than that, pretty much what @Zacd said, minus GDC since I'm in China =/
Other than that, I want to build a Lunetta Synth
Also, this:
Learn more C#
Continue workout regimen
Become more skilled using Substance Designer
Learn new recipes for cooking
Create new 3D environment
Revise portfolio
Read some books
Drink less beer!
try a bit harder
win the lottery
For 2016 I just want to maintain exercising, finish at least 1 3D personal scene, and start to learn Spanish.
Find a new position
Gather more focus
Take no crap from tough guys
+1
Also feels good to be back
Get better in Substance Designer
Get better at sculpting clothing
Try to do hand-painted style for real
Try either UE4 or Unity for real
Also to improve my facility with zbrush and substance painter/designer by spending a bit of time with them every week.
1: Crush enemies.
2: Drive them before me.
3: Hear lamentation of their women.
That should do the trick.
- more dota
- more personal work
a long vacation, a month or so, most likely roadtrip down the westcoast of the US
some shorter trips to meet up with friends and family
I generally haven't been big on resolutions in the past so I might make that a goal this year. Aside from that, here's my list of things I'd like to work on this year:
- Be more active on the forum and participate more in contest
- Improve and work on portfolio with personal projects
- Learn how to speak french
- Sleep better
- Learn how to code in Python
- Improve on texturing and map baking.
- Eat less junk food
IADAGRACA Nice! Katakana and Hiragana is fun to learn. Kanji is a whole different story lol.
Mine would be:
-Dive into Substance Designer more.
-Learn 3Dcoat and create a prop using it.
-Make another scene in UE4 (something more in-depth than the first one I made)
-Make a fan art piece (Battlefront/Star Wars comes to mind, maybe in UE4 or a prop/vehicle)
-Learn more French

Figure out more Quixel and Substance.
Get fitter.
Hopefully help develop a sub studio that I am trying to build up into something permanent.
Get more focused. Remove unproductive habits.
Learn to animate.
I'm taking a one off Animation Mentor class right now. I'm stretching myself a little thin, so I'm going to wait on my personal art / projects until this is over.Get back in shape.
I've been going to the gym consistently since August. I hate cardio, so I only weight lift. Before I would've gotten bored on a treadmill and stopped. The best exercise is the exercise that gets done.Release coolRIG
I've been working on this off and on for a few years. Modular rigging tool, it's ready for production. it just has few bugs to clear out. http://www.coolrig.com/waste less time on forums, reddit, G+, whatever.
organize moving back to Europe.
start changing tracks and get into teaching, ideally anything game dev related.

* Get a job...
