no one is going to give you recommend you if you have a mediocre portfolio. if you get hired and cant actually do the job or deliver half baked results, it's going to blow back on the person who gave the recommendation, and 99% of people dont want to take that risk, hence only vouching for people they have directly worked…
ok I think i'm going to switch to maya then. Just wondering how is maya lt compared to full version? I would be only using it for games? And how does learning in maya full version switch over to using LT version? I ask because most tutorials are in full version so i would learn in the student version for full maya even…
I know if your a full time student you can get a 3 year student license for 3ds Max. Might be worth taking a quick online class especially one you are interested in. Cheaper then an actual license. Also they release a new version every year. I currently have the 2011 license and I could in theory download 2012 before I…
You're a student so it's not like we're shooting for pixar quality here. So I'm gonna say, 500 bucks. (that's the low end, but you should be able to find someone, probably another student to do it) If you wanted something really fucking exceptional, a lot more. If you want to hire some chinese dude that doesn't speak…
Its really not that hard as many students make it seem to break into the industry if you are talented. Most people who say its really hard to break into the industry are students who are not talented enough to get in. They need to get over the fact that all the work they did in school was just to learn how to do this job,…
No catch with this kind of promotion, put a sample out for free and hope the customer likes it and comes back with cash later. :) Brief critique of the site: Prices seem good enough, but not enough example work from the instructors. The ones I checked out and googled looked legit, but a customer shouldn't have to second…
yeah, too expand on Kwramms post, if you get a teacher that really goes through the paintings and has a dialogue with the students, it makes the whole experience extremely enjoyable. My teacher would point out references and ask the students for their readings, all the while relating it to the events and history behind the…
Where are you based? we are happy to support Indie studios to use our Motion Capture studio for free, for a few days, can set you up with 3 actor suits and get some students in to help. Might even be able to get some budget for actors if you don't mind sharing the capture data for our students. University of Hertfordshire,…
Hello and thanks for stopping by! I am a game graphics student at TheGameAssembly in Malmö, Sweden, so it would be much appreciated if you guys gave critique on my work. As I am not much of a concept artist, I will be using this sketchbook mostly for 3D works. I'll start off with a low-poly model I made almost a year ago…
I know where you're coming from Exroath. I have a four year degree. One of my last required courses was called "Career Skills"; it was meant to help us get our portfolios polished, train us for interviews, and generally prepare us for the business end of a career as creative professionals. The "professor" that had been…
