Re: How vital is the knowledge of shaders
If you feel this is something you don't know. Make an effort to learn it. As far as your concern being an Env Artist. It depends where you want to work. Smaller studios require you to do more things. While some bigger ones have people specialized in specific things. Like just modelling or texturing. Knowing how to do all… -
Re: LF Adults to help me frame what's going on in my career at the moment
Hey man, not sure I can add more insight after what these other PC'ers have already said. Currently trying to move up in the env artist world myself. Just wanted to say I've admired your posts both here and on our CA art group, and hope to see more of your awesome work in the future. I also propose grabbin beers at GDC… -
Re: Wolfenstein: The Art Dump
I also did a lot of stamping in Wolfenstein. It's the whole reason we have Megatexture, and it's like...painting on geometry after the env artist are done building it. My biggest stamping project was the whole rebel base chapter. So many different types of rooms, hangars, sewers. Big challange, but very fun. :D Some… -
Re: Adding snow to textures
The rocks look very low-res for a render. I would look into sculpting and/or displacement mapping. Check out the recent thread on modeling rocks. Lighting is going to play a huge part in this. You could look into HDR env lighting with mental ray. Also I would want to see some snow drifts at the bottoms of the rock walls,… -
Re: portfolio update want critique
make a few small prop pieces to get you foot in the door of proper workflow. A nice high detail mesh (modeled or sculpted). Some simple shape and material control. Each one gets it's own thread, learning what you can from feedback. Then step up to a hero piece (larger env focal point). It can be a portfolio piece, and if… -
Re: How to snag an internship
agree. apply for a real position. streamline your folio, or make 2 versions. right now it says character / environment artist. choose either one. listing both just confuses people as to what you really want and indecisive people don't look good. Nerf Bat Ninja said it - env art is the way to go for now. keep working on our… -
Re: < Employed
Right now it's contract again. But the env lead wants to hire me fulltime and they've got several open lead positions, so I'm hoping they'll buy out my contract or something along the way (or wait till my 1yr is up). But I'll take any job right now, contract or not, haha. My UI benefits run out next month! Thanks for the… -

Re: Anyone know of an iOS Model Viewer?
i tested unity on my galaxyS today and well, what can i say? it runs all the airborn assets i threw in just like a charm, i tested with a 10k skeletal mesh with 2 1k texturesheets and a big chunk of our env straight out of unreal, with something around 160k tris, runs soooo smooth i couldn't believe it will test what i can… -
Re: Generator Thing
careful going too far down the character line with this one. Its koo to do bits here and there, but when the piece starts to get too much into the character art realm people will instantly up there requirements. you will still start getting more crits on anatomy and cloth folds than actualy env prop crits. Just something…
