Re: Autodesk laying 925 people off
Just to add to that When two investors decide they want your company there isn't much you can do (unless you find a bigger one). Either a bigger investor wanted a slice of costs gone or the other two have only just begun with "streamlining" the company. Unfortunately when big people start swinging their money-dicks, its… -
Re: Algorythmic Substance Painter and Designer
I bought Designer several years ago. Now it's even not installed on my pc although I do use hi-res texture templates i did there all the time. Concrete and rusted/painted metal mostly. Nodes are too tedious to do and not that streamlined comparing with Fusion for example. To make your own unique noises you would need to go… -
Re: Flat-out head-on contender on PSP?
flatmobile! thar be the one! It looks great without any fins on, very streamlined. Need to get back into it the events were very fun but so damned difficult (basketball and stuff like that) -
Re: [Character WIP] Draenei Schoolgirl
True thanks :) Aye good points, I've actually been using that picture for reference but I didn't want it to be a copy. I agree about the structure of the horns, they're not gonna penetrate the skin and have a separate color. I've been toying around with different sets of horns, got a few in the library actually. I was… -
Re: trying to get a job or atleast be an intern or trainee as a 3D artist
I think your portfolio certainly shows a lot of promise. While it is great to work towards hitting that bar of realism (like with kratos in the post above), its more important to know if that's the direction you want to go. like there is a difference between a character artist with a job, and a character artist working in… -
Re: Gamedesign Hollywood
I wouldn't dismiss this as a nostalgia so quickly. There are some design trends that are undeniably different than what was common 5 or 10 years ago. Accessibility is one of them and though it's a good idea, more often than not we end up with games that offer no challenge at all (complexity issues aside; I have nothing… -
Re: Design Books
Not a free option but I found this resource invaluable when I was studying Industrial Design, http://www.designsketching.com/ The book Design Sketching really breaks down the ideation process. It's nice dealing only with the abstraction of a pencil and a piece of paper. Sometimes clearing your head and thinking things out… -
Re: Behance as a Portfolio
Mainly used by Graphist's although you will find the occasional big talent from Bioware or Blizzard on there. The biggest issue it currently has (like most other services) is that it doesn't have a unified picture system. You click on one set, but you can barely see the others, there is no simple way for someone to know… -
Re: Apex Clothing Tutorial
If I may be so bold as to jump in: In my personal experience the APEX plug in for Maya is completely unusable and I say that a Maya user. I - within the past couple of days - had to do cloth simulation for a project I'm working on and it actually will save you a lot of hassle to, if you're a Maya user, do the bulk of you… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
I approached it a second time now, left again with the same feeling of "go through three menus to extrude a cube". Can't I just hold one key and drag the mouse to get a result? No, hotkeys get you as far as opening the window only. (there are no defaults as well) This feels almost as bad as Blender. I found some…
