Edit: Fk, I posted it on the wrong forum. I was very nervous T_T Can somebody move it to the Painting and Previews, please? Hello Poly (: This is my first post here and I'm not really sure if this is a 3D only forum. I joined because I got recommended by some other artists, but all of them did 3D. I'm considering starting…
Hi everyone, I'm a a student studying environment art going into my last year of college.I'm very serious about making each portfolio piece better than the last and pushing my knowledge to to the limit of what I can do each time. I'm looking for a like minded student or young person just trying to make it into the…
(I have checked the wiki already) Lately i've been learning to paint (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88339 please make sure you compare the first page to the last few posts ;) ) and I've progressed quite a bit.

You know like: Rare firing all their fulltime staff or Activision closing down Luxoflux or Activision cutting Radical studios or Activision closing down the '7 studios' team or Disney shutting down Propaganda games or Mirrors…
I don't think it's just art industry, it's any job/career. I worked as a ballroom instructor for 2 yrs. During those time, I was the first to arrive at the studio to get some extra practice done. That was like 1-2 hr early. I took half lunch time only so the other half I could dance around the studio some more. And many…
Yea, I can totally see how it would feel that way. I don't think one is better than the other. What I was trying to point out was that game development has a lot of problems that we have yet to find final solutions for. Things like human level AI, game engines, immersion (think VR) etc... These are some fundamental…
Scarcity mindset? I just meant that undercutting does happen in the industry from both sides. In many cases it might be unintentional, really depends on the standards people set for themselves. And of course I've always believed that if you have the skills there are many studios that would pay well for that and you may…
