Re: day rate, entry level?
Usually you're paid a yearly salary, not by the hour. Every studio is different, though. There have been a number of these threads here on polycount. Usually people are pointed to the various game industry salary surveys on gamasutra and other sites. -
Re: Is programming necessary to both acquire and maintain employment in the industry?
Usually if you can program on the side, your position is more secure. Since you can help develop and script tools to bridge the gap between artist and programmers, the people are more valued. Usually this position is called technical artist. -
Re: Homeless/Subway Scene?
good start I'd echo what the others have said and also add look at scale issues, that door seems too short an squat. Most doors are usually either 30" or 32" wide and the heights are usually 80". (in the US) -
Re: What's polycount preferable in modern games? (Low and hi poly vs mid poly)

Re: Working OverSeas. Anyone Have Experience?
