You sound like you're in a crisis of not having established a target platform. What generation/system do you want to target? PS3/360/WiiU can be grouped together, and you've got the current top of the chain with Xbox One/PS4. Decide on a platform group, and then research the rough kinds of specs you'd get; For example if…
I was going to say that maybe getting into a cheap school with a public requirement (such as portfolio piece to get in as opposed to Private schools which take you in without one), under which you can get your GI Bill and work on your portfolio at the same time, under a 1 year or 3 year program depending on what you need,…

I agree with the earlier comment about moving the props for particular environments to the pages for the environments, and using the props page for independent objects. The text on the props listing the polygon count and texture sizes is a bit hard to read even in the slideshow mode - is there any way you can use larger…
I'm a Max user but hopefully some of this applies to Maya as well. I'll mostly speak to the pipeline issues with regards to buildings since that is the most common form of modular construction.

"What's the atmosphere like?" I can only talk about the studios I've been to which now is up to three. In essence they were relaxed but it was also dependent on what state the project was in. It's always a little bit awkward being the new guy in the art-team, if nobody else does the first-move and greet you properly you…
Yes I have tried that method, I inverted in Photoshop, even created a material in UDK and manually inverted with the one minus expressions, and have also baked my normal map with y- in the end I am getting same results. Okay guys, this might be my last post (I promise)depending on if I find a solution in the next 16 hrs or…
I figured this out recently for our studio, wrote up the process. Works great for us... ============ 1. Don't do this until your monitor(s) have been on for at least 1 hour. 2. Reset the display driver gamma control. Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce tab > Color Correction > Restore Defaults. Repeat for…
OK warby I found something similar to what you're saying. I think you're using unsigned normal maps, which for your engine means a 128 color is considered a non-bent normal (pointing straight up on X/red). Here's a quote from one of our graphics programmers: [ QUOTE ] Signed normal maps are useful for helping to hide…
Firstly thank you for taking the time to critique my work I have no reservations about reworking if it helps to bring the model up to a professional standard. [ QUOTE ] The whole mesh is very angular, there aren't many smooth curves, all the limbs and features are incredibly linear, which makes it look much lower-poly than…
