Re: Art Institute Visit
AIFL was a mixed bag when I was there. You had to do your own studying - college ain't a place to be spoon fed. If you don't learn how to study things yourself, then your college sucks. Because that's what you will do a lot later in your career - study things on your own. Teachers ranged from awesome to total suck. You… -
Re: Skill building exercises for the ADHD stricken?
haha, well there's certainly an element of truth to it. i'm sure that people do genuinely suffer from an inability to focus, however i'm also sure that this stems from upbringing and self discipline more than actual medical reasons. ANY child will lose interest in a subject quickly, it happens, it's just the way life is.… -
Re: What are some effective methods for improvement? (Mentorships?, etc.)
A research month is fun. Do one month research for your discipline. Do no personal projects on your computer during this time. If you are hardsurface modeler go outside and study how things are made. Take pictures. Look close how different materials are used, how things in real are beveled. Go to a hardware store and… -
LONG time hobbyist - portfolio review
Hello, I've done a few WIP threads here over the years. But I'll introduce myself again here. I'm Rob, 34, based in the UK.

I experimented over the years with doing film-oriented… -

Re: Getting off of a Skill Plateau
One thing that always helped me was to look at a specific thing I was weak at, and do a lot of repetitious studies. Dropping my confidence on something makes me work hard to improve at that one thing, and use that as fuel for all areas of art. It may not be an immediate gain, but after doing a lot of studies - with the… -
Re: How to practice in zbrush?
Really studying forms is as important as learning to sculpt them. Doing smaller studies of certain parts of the head or body helps a lot. Doing lots of sculpts of a nose or an ear or an arm. Nothing too detailed, just the primary forms. This builds up your anatomy knowledge alongside your sculpting confidence and… -
Re: Female (Nudity)
Actually, the torso needs lots of attention to proportions. The lower landmark of the ribcage under the breasts is sitting far too high. The breasts also are too high on her chest. Try to imagine what sort of skeleton would create this figure, and you'll see its inaccuracies. Find an image of the ribcage, and observe how… -
Re: THQ files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Studios and IP are both assets. In the case of a successful series of games, keeping the IP and Studio paired together makes the most sense, as it minimizes risk. (ie Saints Row and Volition). In the case of unsuccessful series of games (games that are unprofitable/do not break even), the IP has value but it can make sense… -
I need an Advice from VFX People
Hello, I`ve been studying VFX in my free time, watching a couple of tutorials and so on. I bought 1 year subscription at CMIFX to get more materials and I saw a couple of new tutorials and I can`t see the difference between CINEMA 4D and Houdini (I know they`re different software, but what unique features do they have?). I…
