I'm 29 and only just got my first 3d job. I went through the same mental problems as you are now. The thing you have to do is be dedicated. You either are an artist or you're not. You have to give up drinking/going out/holidays etc and just knuckle down. This was the hardest part for me. I think you will need to decide if…
If you want to update the software (which isn't forced, you can run older versions if you dont want new features, your device will still sync with old software etc) then yeah you need to re JB. But it's just another one click process, and since you can restore a backup of the phone after updating (which it does anyway when…
Ok so in regards to bundles, I finally figured out how to find them : they are listed under "view all / hero sets", which is a link hidden at the very bottom of the page. I think this "view all" option should instead simply be part of the regular sets list, at the beginning or end of it. Something like this : And yeah…

You are damn lucky, The only thing that has held me back in my younger days was putting it off and not being consistent. Take advantage cause when your older you going to wish you had put more time into what you love, it might be something you can only learn through experience but really try not to have to learn the hard…
It was an interesting read, although wasted on the audience of Kotaku if you read the comments. I think something people are missing is that the author reiterates that she doesn't feel (most) men are doing these things on purpose. It's easier to make friends with the same sex, so they're more likely to invite other guys…
It's been quite a while since my last post, but I guess better late than never... Finally my small pirate ship made it into UDK and I started playing around with the lights. I'm sure there are plenty of great tutorials about baking shadows in Unreal out there, but if anybody feels kind enough to save me some searching…
Hi there, Im looking for talented 3D Artists to work with us on a RTS genre game developed using the Unreal Engine. We have close to 300 models to create ranging from small rocks and shrubs to full buildings. You would work with the concept artist, lead artist and project manager and lead writer to bring fantastic 3D…
