Hi everyone, I currently work in 3D and have for a few years, but not in games (archviz/product rendering). I'm hoping for some life/career advice here. I recently found out about a position at an indie game company that I could fit the bill for. While I'm dying to get my foot in the door to the industry, I'm hesitant to…
I am seriously concerned... I would love to work in the Game Industy (as an 3D-Character-Artist), but everytime i am looking at Jobdescription for example in this forum or at artstation i read: "Candidates must be legally authorized to work and accept new employment in the U.S." (or in other words) The problem is, i live…
Am thinking it's about time to have another get together for the local Vancouver polycounters. Last one was somewhat a failure way back in October last year. Ideas/Suggestions for places and time. General has been the sammy j peppers in burnaby as it's somewhat easy for most people to get to.
I wouldn't say drop everything you're doing and only work on paid gigs. But If I could slap my old self, I would, for this very same question you're asking...

The thing I want is a high optical zoom and good camera lens. I thinking of getting this the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7/B 8.1MP Digital Camera 15X Optical…
I'm currently working on a project for my uni course and have been trying to get trees and bushes with a certain effect. It's pretty much the same as can be seen in this game: https://www.insidedecay.com/maquette I am familiar with softening normals, or transferring them from a sphere on to a tree, but it doesn't quite get…
Hello everyone. I will try to make this topic small as much as i can. I am 29 years old, and i am coming from very very good paying job. But. i do not feel fulfilled, even i can afford many things in my life and have very decent life. Luckily for me or bad for me, i still don't have my own family, I want to work for gaming…
Hello, First off, I'm a terrible modeler. I've been at it on and off for 2 years (mostly off) but I really want to buckle down and get my portfolio together because it is the only thing I really love just sitting down and doing. Unfortunately I get frustrated when I run into issues like this where I lack knowledge on how…
