PNG compression is absolutely not destructive, that's just misinformation. It's painfully slow to write out though. To the OP : TGA is very fast to write, and rock solid overall. You might just need to use a different format for high bit depth if needed/required (EXR) but that's probably not something you should concern…
Is there some unspoken challenge where someone finds the furthest back post to resurrect? Add to thread, the media is doing a good job on misinforming the public and getting things done for someone else to profit off of, so i'd say that is pretty bad/pointless when it isn't helping the people instead seems to be stealing…
Glad you came across PC :) Here's a few treasure troves of information for you. Don't feel intimidated by the sheer depth of knowledge that you'll have to take in while learning game art to a professional level. Just start small, research when you hit a topic or issue you can't comprehend and don't give up. Starting with…

Why those weird VFX guys invented this new color management system while evryone else use ICC profiles for decades including for cameras and why they think theirs is better. That's probably why there is no ACES profile in Photoshop. As of benefits of super…
I actually feel like your direction is far more interesting, kinda like what I wanted to go into before I went into 3D art (but more in freelance with some studio experience as a contractor) While game art and working in a game studio can be fullfilling, you're usually nameless to the outside world and you very very…
From personal experience I would say it will drastically decrease their chances. I am not a new grad anymore but I have been put on hold currently for any positions that I have been pursuing in the previous weeks. I've been in contact with one or two companies that I applied for that want to set up interviews but currently…
Oh, so apparently I don't have the latest one. Strangely Autodesk Desktop App says there are no updates available, weird. Sorry for the misinformation!
On " floaters are old-school" : For the sake of not spreading misinformation I'll have to be the naysayer here. Regardless of how cool Painter is, by its very nature it is still something that happens at the very end of the pipe (texturing). Therefore if a production relies on strict approval steps (for instance :…
