Thanks for the response! So in the end our main use is really just to create videos for internal company use, which is why I can't share images or examples unfortunately. As of right now there is no plans for interactivity or mobile use. The end product that I deliver to the company is simply a video file made from…
What does a 'day in the life of' a remote artist look like? My hours are alot more flexible. If I need to do something during the day than I can easily move my hours around. You need more discipline to work though since nobody is behind you and there are alot more distractions at home. I have been doing it for about a year…
There won't always be a tutorial telling you how to build "the thing" that you're trying to build. Tutorials teach you methods and techniques not how to make specific things. "Ahh damn it, I need to make a 2019 Toyota Corolla, but all I can find is a tutorial about making a 2015 Toyota Corolla. Close up shop, no one is…
Hey! Thanks all for the ideas. I really like one empty tank with the fluid gone. And yes, it's very alien-esq. Watched the Movie last week and thought it was a really sexy scene. My first mutant is basically the same as the first one you see in the labs there. So I downloaded Udk and started blocking things up. Really…
Bone chilling explosion(s) and visual effects! I've been reading about the 'Electric Universe' theory which puts a different light on the formation of solar systems, and interaction between sun, planets and comets/ asteroids than the mainstream allows. Emphasizing the electromagnetic factors which are downplayed in the…

Wow, thanks! That's an interesting lowpoly that's different from what I assumed to be correct. For example, I was not aware that you can use diagonal edges near convex corners as that would upset the corner of the chamfer - but it seems that it's working fine here. I suppose you are recommending turbosmooth to round the…
If it's a naked character, then you need to make it 1 texture since the payoff is better with that and it will constitution one draw. Plus, you won't get any nasty issues with colors not showing correctly at seams especially around the neck area sort of places, and for fapping reasons, having one high quality textures for…
I normally don't like replying to these, but since your thread is in danger of descending into cat.gif hell I'll help you out.

Well it really depends on the company. I know this isn't always an option for everyone, but the more people just "take it" the worse it gets for everyone, as overwork and abuse simply becomes the norm. Not everyone is in a situation where they can risk losing their job over these sort of issues. However, hopefully you will…
