Looking for a 3D ARTIST and ANIMATOR To work on a project, the game has 4 programmers already. This is un-paid work until the kickstart begins its a low poly project, so the work load shouldn't be too heavy. if your interested about the game, then let me introduce you to Prime(prim). with inspiration drawing from titles…
Since this is a hobby thing, I'm not worried about any deadlines. I want to animate to my heart's content! I also think the payoffs are really worth it. Breathing life into each vertex has a certain charm I find very desirable. Just like how old 2D cartoons look so good because it's all hand manipulated. I tried my first…
Well thats the thing really, i'm not intending to go into a professional career*, as this is just a hobby of mine. :) However, these forums have inspired me to improve my skills, and this is a little project of mine to apply some of these skills onto something more than a 20min test model. i'm also using source/Alien Swarm…
I wouldn't really say that anything is necessarily harder than others. I do believe that artists in general need to put a lot more hours into what they do to become great, but then again it's pretty much the same with every job. Some people are good with coding, some people have an eye/hands for art. Each job has it's own…
I'm just going to write here, I used to love to draw anime/manga in school. I hit a wall in my art and didn't know why. It took another artist who I worked with to tell me I was doing it wrong. You don't learn a Style first. You learn fundamentals first. Then when you are good at those you add the style. The best way to…
Trying to fix neck and back problems by sitting a little bit differently is like trying to patch a leaking boat with tape. I mean, it helps, and its a good habit to minimize poor health, but if your body is falling apart from sitting in a chair all day you need to work on your overall fitness. Develop good habits, good…
Edit: yea its the parents fault for being uneducated/uninterested in their kids hobbies, most likely due to the perception that video games are just for kids. haha i love how nudity and even porn is being compared to exectuting/murdering 1000's of people in an average play through of a game. or going to see a movie which…
Awesome initiative! Just a quick question: What specs will you be shooting for? Zbrush pass etc? Mostly asking because I feel that Zbrush and similar programs really change the overall approach. Other than normal map stuff posted here on Polycount I find that quality normal mapped game art assets are few and far between.…
I hear your pain man. I'm having hard times with school too. I completed more than half of the courses in a totally unrelated program but I don't have the drive to go on with it. I also have a lot to learn/improve on the game art side of things. I don't want to let it stay as a hobby though. I can sit and model for hours…
There are definite issues in the UVS in the models due to the extraction process. Possibly some precision errors, but the stretching seems to go more than just a decimal error would be. You Can fix that up to match the wireframe UV layout as provided in the PSD's by relic. Definitely stay with their UV layout or your skins…
