Re: Asking for advice about career paths.
Jacque's survey was character positions total - not open positions. It also only listed 104 studios throughout the world - there are about 600+ in North America alone. The survey is further muddled by the title being "AAA character positions" but he counted Kingsisle (my former employer) on the list which most of you… -

Art Center vs AAU vs Ringling vs Gnomon
Guys, these are the schools I've narrowed down in the US and seriously considering attending. Ultimately I'd like to work in games and my focus is in illustration, concept and visual development.

Re: Cry For Speed (C4S) A Need for Speed Mod
I don't mean to sound like an ass, but you're copying and recreating a AAA game, in a different AAA engine, because of something to do with AAA graphics? No offense, but you seem to be setting yourself up for colossal failure. Even with CryEngine's superior lighting, it seems like you haven't gone through it so far; the… -

Thoughts on using Megascans / Substance Share materials in your environment art portfolio?
Recently I've been seeing some differing views from people in the AAA industry about using pre-made materials in your environment art portfolio. Some say it's okay because most AAA studios these days outsource materials and smaller assets anyway. But others say it's a deal breaker because it doesn't show you can make every… -
Re: AAU, SCAD, or elsewhere for Game Design online?
Yeah, don't go to AAU, especially online. I only ever took required Liberal Arts credits online. Among my friends and classmates from my graduating class at AAU, I'm the only one I know that isn't currently unemployed, working a menial non-industry job, is working in QA, or at best has a game industry art job that's… -
Re: I am giving myself a year to build a 2D portfolio. Any advice?
I like stylized characters. However, the majority of AAA games use photo-realistic characters, even when doing sci-fi and fantasy. I you plan on a portfolio for AAA studios, you need at least SOME non-stylized characters. If you are going to for 'whatever studios can use your particular style', then of course do whatever… -
Re: Videogames and Pirating
Zephir62 raises a valid point. It's not really possible to just "start up" a AAA studio. The only way you could possibly do it is with immense financial backing from investors. With the economy as it is, good luck trying to find willing investors for developing a AAA video game. (an endeavor that most investors already… -
Re: CryEngine or Unity?
Whether a game engine can make AAA games shouldn't even matter if you aren't a AAA studio. AAA content = $$$ to produce. From hanging around the indie community, it looks like Unreal & Cryengine have almost no foothold. Unity is the most popular 3D engine but 2D games make up a bigger chunk because it's cheaper and easier…
