NOTE: THIS WORK IS IN DIRE NEED OF A MAJOR REVAMP THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN! The intent is a more subtle, emotional take on a less explored character's backstory. In this, Akali. To write a story about her I of course first sought to draw upon her core character traits, but then came to realize there were none, which my…
Hey all. This thread is a new version of my previous thread since this is a new project aim now. The new aim is below. Ok. This project has changed a bit now since last time i posted. The original aim is now not complex or needed enough for it to be considered useful for a thesis. However, the new aim still uses a mech…
Greetings fellow mortals! We are a very small team (four people at the moment) currently working on a game concept for use within UDK. We are lucky enough to have access to a school based production group known as Game Wizards and we have been given the rare opportunity to pursue an idea we are all passionate about. As…
After watching the film Moon, (Great movie btw, definitely check it out if you haven't done so already!) I have decided to take it upon myself to create a mini-environment from the film as a strong portfolio piece. I plan on using the UDK engine to implement the scene. I've wanted to make a sci-fi environment for awhile…
Hi all- I've been on the forum a while now but haven't to date posted any work. Well, all that's about to change! I'm currently working as a primary school teacher, but am looking to change careers and work in 3D for games as this is my passion (or obsession, if my wife is to be believed). The following images represent…
Yeah @MmAaXx , in a way that's precisely my point - comparing and evaluating multiple programs against a specific need is paramount. I am not saying that X or Z software in particular is necessarily the absolute best at it (although I have my own opinion on that based on experience and the particular kind of models I am…
many artistic traditions and disciplines to consider as well... I wouldn't dismiss any particular artist as "lacking" ( anatomy Nazi? ) because their strategies and language might just concentrate on a different approach. ( wouldn't assume they haven't spent less time agonizing and pouring over the human form and with any…
Cool! Ok then, So first up, I'd suggest doing some environments. The best way to get a job doing what you want is to just start doing what you want to do. and Do it well :) Find a piece of concept art and model/texture a small scene. Be careful on the scope, make it do-able in a short time so you stay motivated and…
Hey Dai, I'd say the first issue with your portfolio is that you are shooting at too broad of a profession. In locations like Asia and such you'd be able to get away with throwing anything into a portfolio just as long as it looks good (not all but quite a few countries/studios) but in the western industry the majority of…
If it's an emergency then it's probably freaking way too late already. It's not like you had to type a cv in a night for the next morning or get a haircut because you look messy. You're supposed to produce art, no one does great and beautiful thing in "emergency". No one does beautiful thing nor impress people because they…
