That was my exact career path John. I spent several years as a freelance illustrator before deciding that I wanted to make my hobby ( game Art ) my career. However, this case is a little different. As Paul said, If her particular interest is concept Art for videogames, then no, she needs no serious knowledge of how to make…
Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and also share a project I’m currently working on. I’m Dan , a self-taught hard surface 3D artist, and over time I’ve mainly focused on modeling props for games. Most of my experience comes from the more traditional low poly / high poly / bake workflow, especially for smaller…
The thing is it's NOT a movie that panders to gamers. There's never a scene where somebody's like "Hey everybody! Let's go play videogames! Remember videogames?" Nobody plays somebody's grandma in a videogame for the publishing rights. There's no "oh, get the super secret hidden warp whistle in this game nobody's ever seen…
John Warner: In this and your previous post, I think you are misunderstanding a fundamental disagreement many of us have. And I don't blame you, since it is predicated on your belief in developmental hierarchies and whatnot. Video games, good or bad, like art in general, don't effect my behavioral patterns and I know the…

It features music by I Come to Shanghai and posters by Olly Moss. Each episode focuses on on particular topic in the world of videogames. Episode One: The Death of EGM Robert…

When you mentioned rendering times, my eyes lit up. Anyway, my portfolio has archviz and videogame related 3d since I used to work for a large videogame corp.…
TL;DR My website with portfolio (check YouTube channel for more) http://sergeizemtsev.tumblr.com/ If you want:* Atmospheric and eerie soundtracks in the spirit of Yume Nikki * Paranoid post-punk and insecurity like Berserk and Paprika soundtracks * If you conceived Persona and Danganronpa in the darkest colors * You need…
I'll try not to be off-tangent and contribute my two cents on the topic. I think there's so much confusion on the industry and individual's terminology of the word "games" as to what we use to coin our industry as "videogames". For me the latter term is even an ambiguous, abbreviated term (coming close to a slang) of what…
[ QUOTE ] "According to Hideo Kojima, video games are not art because they are still focused on what consumers think." -Squirrely Jones [/ QUOTE ] just want to chime in and clarify a great man's opinion. here's a quote: [ QUOTE ] "The thing is, art is something that radiates the artist, the person who creates that piece of…
I don't know first hand that kind of college degrees, but after assisting to a 3D and game development vocational training course of two years (I think that would be the equivalent in english) for month and a half, I can really agree that there's a lot of disconection between most of these places and videogames as a…
