Re: Survey for Artist Salaries
I would love to see the AAA industry expand here in Germany, but it seems like a chicken-and-egg situation right now. Serious financial help from the State, similar to what Canada did, could change that, or if Yager or Crytek has a mega hit. Regarding 3D freelancers vs larger outsource studios - I'm the Outsource Manager… -
Re: Lacking direction
You might be surprised if you start working on selling work. The quality bar for AAA is really high but that doesn't mean you aren't a market worthy artist right now. There is big difference between the quality necessary for the next tomb raider and the basic 3d assets joe-blow indie developer needs. Not very long ago my… -
Re: Journal from American Psychological Association : How employers exploit passion
Yeah for sure. I'm working on an indie game and I work 10-15 hours most days. But that's cause it's my first game and I didn't plan well. Also, I'm having a ton of fun with it. Not really work at all for me. I'd never try to force hours like that on an employee though. It's unethical and I thought it was illegal to work… -
Re: VISA muredered me.

Re: Sketchbook: Alex Javor

I've read that many AAA characters are as much as 50k? Not really important for me right now, but just want to make a note of this for future. I had some success with… -
Re: Short games
Eh I'm usually happy with the length of whatever game I'm playing as I usually try to gather as much information as I can to help better judge before purchasing. Never trust the hype... unless it's The Witcher 3 (!!!) On the flip side, I also have a terrible tendency to lose interest in games that I found fun when they… -
Re: [WIP] Ghibli Kiki's delivery service, inspired enviroment UH Main project
@Wardana Frist of all great progress! You did some solid work there. I think you are onto something with posting the version without ivy. It looks better lack of noise on it creates a focal point that your eye can be drawn to. We are always drawn to contrasts. Not just in light but also in frequency of detail. So you also… -
Rubble pile work flow AKA not killing my computer
I am trying to make a nice rubble pile and I have sculpted a bunch of different concrete pieces in zbrush, decimated them, and exported them to Maya. I tried to place the rubble in Maya but the polycount got to high and it was a mess. Questions: Is there an easy way in zbrush to place these concrete pieces I have sculpted?… -
