[News] ArenaNet now Accepting Applications for Class of 2013 Internship

a3sthesia

I imagine everyone is already all over this, but just in case anyone has missed it (and I know there's a lot of amazing artists waiting for opportunities like these), ArenaNet have opened their 2013 Internships.

Link below -

http://www.arena.net/blog/now-accepting-applications-for-arenanet-class-of-2013-internship

Be sure to check out the guidelines and requirements carefully.

A note on applications - You may post your progress online, but you MUST email your final renders along with a breakdown of your texture sheets.
Please also note that any polycount progression threads regarding the internship, should be uploaded to the contest section here - http://www.polycount.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=47

The entry deadline is October 20, 2012.

No follow-up phone calls (they would be bombarded enough I imagine). Attention to detail is a key requirement for this position, so if you’re unable to follow these instructions specifically, you will not be considered for the program.

Good luck everyone! ^_^

Hmm, I might jump on this. I have a question though, when they say, "The structure should be less than 3000 polys and use the maximum equivalent of two 1024

I saw this question come up in some previous years, and from what I can see (regarding the environment requirements) -

"Maximum equivalent of two 1024x1024 textures," meaning you could do a 512 diffuse, 512 normal, 512 shadow and 512 specular (equalling the same as 2 maps at 1024x1024). You could even do one 1024x1024, one 512x512, and two 256x256 maps. They don't have to be square either (1024x512 for example).

Regarding the 3000 polys - again, from what I saw of previous tests, that's in triangles.

Hope that helps! ^_^

Perhaps I should update the initial post?

"Please note, polycount progression threads regarding the internship, should be uploaded to the contest section."

or something...

My math's not great by any means so correct me on this if I've completely messed it up - couldn't you fit 8 512x512 textures into 2 1024x1024 textures? So you could do 2x512x512 diffuse, spec, gloss and normals. Or for the second example, a 1024x1024, 2x512x512 and 8x 256x256?
