I came here when I was already a Senior so I can't speak for certain. But 30-35k as entry level seems to be pretty standard. Juniors go as high as $50k. Intermediates go from 50-65k Seniors/Leads start around 65k and go as high as they are valuable (A few senior character artists around town were pushing $160k, but they…
You should make your cage in your 3D package, it is by far the easiest way to do it. xnormals works fine if you can wrangle the nasty ui beast. I just wouldn't use zbrush for anything like that. Duplicate the finalized low poly, use a 'push' modifier equivalent in Maya (http://bit.ly/MkqRnb). Cover your high with the cage.…
Pushing this scene more and more everyday. Got the boombox, bar stools, hanging bead curtain, and tiki masks textured. Also made a few minor tweaks and started the fan on the bar. Tomorrow I'll finish texturing the fan then I'll move to some small vegetation on the ground and if I have time, I'll move some assets around to…
Thanks guys for the input. SupRore - Ill try to fix that kneepad...and yeah these shapes are just blocked out....tryin to get some polys to push for when I get it into z-brush PeterK - shoulder gear is alot older than '03. I thought you were gonna bust out some old 80's cartoon...like Centurions or something. Now thats…
Very Cool, looks better in the latest screenshot, how about making the fur more whitish/desaturated? I agree with pushing the constrast in color between the fur and the chest scales. Cause right now, it looks to me like red-orange fur and yellow orange scales blend togheter. I really like the edgy/stylish poly…
I don't get an uncanny valley feeling at all really. The eyes could be a little too 'real' but that's about the only part which might be a bit freaky if they push the realism too much. The rest is so far from lifelike my mind accepts it without questioning it. Seeing it in motion is the only real way to tell however. The…
I'll say this quick because it's late. Part of the reason I'm talking about solutions to this is because the publishing giants are pushing for more and more restrictive protections harsher penalties that try to hold on to obsolete models that were dependent on distribution control they no longer have. I want to be able to…
This looks really awesome! I'm new to modeling, so take my advice with a grain of salt -- but, I feel like it looks a little weird under the blue chairs, like there's not enough of a shadow. They look a little floaty, especially when compared to the chairs in your reference. I think you could also push the fabric texture…
I think the blue is possibly not the best choice for coloration. You have the grass element so you should keep going for that earthy feel, seeing as how he is the spirit of the forest. Rocks mud bark mushrooms and so forth all say forest to me. The blue is cold or water like. Anyways., just my two cents, very cool idea…
Beautiful work so far. I love it and only have a few crits right now. Firstly, all of the lights look pasted on a little bit. Push those highlights more overall on your texture map. It's looking a little bland right now. You also should cleanup the "Police" Sign on the back of the bike, the P and O still have some white…
