Re: Portfolio pimp
"My name is Brandon Nobbs; I'm a 3d artist originally from Spokane WA. I have been drawing all my life originally inspired by comic books. I tried drafting as a creative outlet for five years until learning about 3d. Since then I've been doing 3d modeling, for the past year mostly using 3DSMax 5. Currently I'm less than a… -
Re: [Portfolio] Liam Tart - Environment Artist
overall its a good portfoilio imo. Few thoughts: 1) "preview" picture for "low-poly" and "level design" could be split into 2-3 sections to show that u have few different samples of content in there. Its like, "oh, so he has not only misile silo but also modular buidings there..." or "he has got not only TF2 level but also… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Aha, yes! I agree with this a lot, and I think it may be part of the difficulty a community like polycount has in being understanding/respectful of sexism as an issue. Clearly nobody here is a misogynist or hates women or wants women to suffer, but there's been a LOT of actual backlash (not just disagreement) against the… -
Re: "The Only Thing I Know..." Let's talk about being a gamer, life balance, and the biz.
Too much reading, so I haven't read everything yet. But, there are two major things that struck me. One, Jackwhat covered very well. The other, like all media, video games are not nessesarily "wasted" time, even if you don't consider Jackwhat's point. All media are forms of communication, which allow people to communicate… -
Re: Quality of life vs. crunch
I think the diplomatic thing to say here Sandbag is that Mike represents a necessary component in the Epic culture and its method of delivery in this video probably won't win as many hearts and minds on this forum as the words of the people you've known here for years like myself and the other Epic folks on the board in… -
Re: Post your instagrams
instagram is all about engagement and community, a lot of people look at it as a superficial platform full of T&A, but if you look deeper, there are some passionate fans and discussions going on around their different communities. Search for related hashtags to what you are posting/interested in, then go like, leave a… -
Re: Outsource yourself?
I would say that right now, technology doesn't permit the communication level required to maintain such a company. You put on-top of this the differing time-zone, differeing costs-of-living, etc. You also face the monster task of getting up a reputation. Probably the biggest obstical(sp?) in my eyes. Nice idea, to pull it… -
Re: Discussion: Obsession in our field?
sorry for not reading the rest of these posts. Adam- I run into this ALL THE TIME i think that understanding the realities that other people live in.. in terms of the word they see, but also how they take in and process information, is important and the solution to this... but that statement is a good example of a bad way… -
Re: Facebook, Twitter and the like..
Yeah. Facebook and twitter, being social networking sites, are incredibly good at casting your net wider and farther than you can with just a website. It'd take you a day to set up and figure out how to use both well. And once you have, you've a 24 hour hub that you can release information to, and people can "like" and… -
Re: your role?
I too am not in the "industry" and my artisrtic side is limited to the dabbling I do in spare time.. IRL (In Real Life) I am a Sergeant in the NYPD in Brooklyn NY. Currently my role at the precinct is the Supervisor of the GLA (Grand Larceny Auto) team. I basically deal with stolen cars, chop shops, investigating the…
