Which is the most commonly used 3D modelling suite in the Games Industry?
Is it 3DS Max or Maya? I'm talking in context of big studios like Bioware,DICE,Ubisoft,Squeenix's studios etc Also how many studios use or allow their artists to use blender if they're comfortable with it? I'm asking this because i need to prioritize which suite to learn first,3DS Max or Maya, I'm comfortable with blender… -
I have access to ZBrush, Photoshop, and Lightwave. Does it matter?
These are the only programs I can work with right now, but I'm worried if I dive in it will hinder my chances with getting a job at a game studio. Most game studios I look at for 3D positions list experience with a major 3D package (3ds max, maya, modo, etc.) as a requirement. Will a studio still hire me even if my… -
Re: New to the industry? How to utilize your Linkedin Account
Back when I was considering working at a game studio, linkedIn helped me get into touch with some studios I wouldn't otherwise know existed. Of course if my work sucks it sucks, but that's besides the point. The app did make it possible for me to find studios easily, and get in touch with the right people. So there is… -
Re: Artstation and tits
Super interesting ideas proposed in here! I for one have never had anyone internally try to influence me to contribute to a scheduled art dump event, and have honestly never heard of it until now. (Oh no maybe I'm shit at my job! hah O___O - sad realization ensues) But I will say ArtStation offering to sell an "Art Dump"… -
Re: The Gaming Industry: How did you get in?

That wasn't quite surprising as I had never done any 3D. So I started working my ass off to get to the level I wanted and… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback - Environment Art
I believe you got some good materials, but where a lot of junior artists get distracted is when you fill your portfolio up with small props. While it's not 100% the case, consider that studios now a days do outsource their assets. That doesn't mean you shouldn't model them but if you want to stand out, you need to build… -
Re: Company policy on side-projects
The simple answer is never to sign contracts that try to claim ownership over your personal ideas. The complex answer is that, in practice, it's a lot easier said than done. But you still have the right to hire your own lawyer to look over contracts and make suggestions for revisions. Studios have their lawyers draw up… -
Re: Rhythm & Hues Files for Chapter 8
Yeah, it's Chapter 11. Hopefully the studio pulls through and you guys can get back to work. It just boggles the mind how a studio can produce immensely successful VFX and still have trouble making ends meet. Something has to be done to get profits back in line so studios can actually operate. -
Re: Spiderman 4 scrapped, Toby and Raimi no more
I knew this was coming. There were some MAJOR differences between Raimi and the studio bosses. The studio bosses want Raimi to ditch the Vulture and have yet again a two villain deal like in Spiderman 3 which totally sucked. Now thanks to the greedy studio morons we have no movie. -
