The casual observer will often mistake these aesthetics for what makes these games massive hits, when in fact the… -
Re: Are people actually use Substance Designer for a job?
Risking being too blunt here but... You spend most of your time fighting weird quirks, and your experiences are not universal. Have you considered this kind of thing might be either user error or a bug? Have you ever just... asked if something is intentional and filed a report? Plenty of people have no issue working with… -
Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?
Inspiring story Autocon!!! This sounds the best approach to me, You gotta be happy to work on stuff in your spare time or its just not worth it, and finding a better job sounds like top priority.

Re: Is it "cheating" to use photographs for textures?
maze : good points overall. Also your talking about two very different techniques which will soon start to appear in games which is great!

Re: What is (or was) your biggest problem or obstacle in becoming CG artist?
Information, equipment backlash, and securing the position Back when I was in school information wasn't as abundant as it is today and asking folks about was neigh impossible. There were many faux sites offering information that wasn't valid or was outright harmful to one's progress. Due to that I was always on the lookout… -
Rant about priorities

I have been thinking long and hard about this, and I figured the best way to figure out how I stand is to write it down. Here we go. Priorities Regardless of your field, if you are… -
Re: I Need Advise 20Q- And as many responses as possible!
I'm what your father doesn't want you to end up being. So I'll try to bestow upon you my mistake-driven wisdom of the higher education system... 1. do the college requirements also count schools like full sail or gnomon?
