Re: Breaking into the Games Industry - Poll/Survey
This is what someone once told me, and I believe it to be true. Nowadays, at least over here in the states, with the economy still attempting to recover and so many people out of work, a really strong portfolio and shipped title experience is going hand in hand 50/50. If your portfolio is strong, you live in the area, and… -
Re: Can a regular guy really break into the industry "by himself"?
Yes, you can. There's a lot of jargon that gets tossed around like, "who you know", "foot in the door" etc. and while those may help, they will NOT get you employed. Your ability to produce good work in a timely fashion will. On producing work, as others have said, watch less tutorials and do more projects. Tutorials and… -
Re: When did you start applying for game industry jobs?
I got my first job in a small studio barely 10 months into learning 3d. Now you could think that I must have been amazing or something, but while I was probably better than most students with less than a year experience I was definitely lightyears away from anything that would wow you (and still am). Truth is it tells you… -
Re: Halo Reach
You know, I'm in a few missions on Legendary (Going for the solo chevo) and its getting pretty damn good. Not AAA block buster good, but good. I wish certain things were explained more, such as the little popups on the bottom of the screen for doing certain tasks... Its almost like MW2's award system, only, the only place… -
Re: Failed an artist interview, was told to get feedback here. Please advise
I'm going to give you a very straightforward crit. "Train Train and Freight game assets. Designed for an AAA game. I wanted to focus on intricate design and detailing with geometry rather than materials. Created in Maya/ Photoshop/ Mental Ray. Part of a second year University project." This reads as. I'm not motivated… -
Re: Piracy...
It's more than just "found a way around it". It's living in the present, even the future maybe, as opposed to the past. That's like if when the automobile was introduced, somebody that made carriages saw the potential, and started selling automobiles instead. Then when the rest of the carriage industry crumbled, people… -
Re: Workflow question: generating height/normal before Substance
Substance Designer and Painter don't have anything to imagine height from regular image . Sampler does but it does it so awful it's almost an advertising gimmick IMO, very blurry unspecific height often totally wrong. The only thing Sampler good is de-lighting ambient shadows . What would really be helpful is image… -
Re: Breakdown Fur
This is a really good looking fur! I was already familiar with the shell technique, but yours looks particularly good due the care in adjusting each shell maps and the height map usage. I gotta say I'm itching to recreate a few steps in your breakdown using Blender geonodes to automate them. 😂 Edit: I gave the node setup a… -
Re: Get a game job!
Hey, wow I'm actually posting on this board for once instead of lurking. I just felt I should really emphasize how important "environment" artists are really becoming. I'm going to use myself for example, I got hired pretty randomly to an independent game / technology studio last September that was expanding. I wasn't… -
