Re: [Kickstarter] Better Things: The Life and Choices of Jeffrey Catherine Jones
The problem is that you're talking it up as profit, but there is no profit until a product sees the end of development and makes it to shelves. Those margins are not profit margins, they are the margins that fund the project. Without them, a project that needs crowdfunding simply cannot survive. This is the intent behind… -
Re: Liberty Prime
Hey guys, Thanks again for the replies. Completely valid on the film burn issue. I'm currently in the VFX industry, doing a few things here and there, but I'm actually more interested in videogames and would eventually like to head into that industry. This particular model was done using Lightwave 3D, but I am very… -
Re: Demon's Souls
(Since this thread already got revived and I am so excited for Dark Souls...) I wonder why there has not been any "Top [nuber] Videogame Bosses" with the 4-3 Old Monk Boss. This old monk sacrifices himself and summons a "black phantom" with some cheap attacks and a five-magic-homing-missles buff, nothing fancy so far, but… -
Re: Buy Nothing Day 2009
Hey i've got a great idea, how about for this entire holiday season everyone stops buying video games. This is such a fantastic idea, none of us need any of this useless shit anyway! We're making the world a better place here. Yeah, its not so much fun when it directly affects people you know in an industry you care about,… -
Polycount.com "2.0" is almost here, for real this time.
Consider this the be-all-end-all tease I ever do for the new website, I promise. I'm writing this now because we actually have very few bugs left that we can see, which means we're very close to being ready to launch. Today was a huge day for development as we're now scrounging for any remainders bugs. What a great place… -
Re: Weird artstation posts happening today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39WEs1fT9qY That's one of her videos (audio is a bit low in this one), so she's a real person, not some kind of a troll account. I don't know if they intended to make fun of her, or they just wanted to show that you can make a "good" 3D model from any concept art, without any malevolent… -
Re: Does my diploma count as a "degree"
The people who decide to give you a visa or not has nothing to do with the creative industry at all. They do not care what your demo reel looks like - we are talking about the immigration department here not a videogames company - don't confuse this. Many people ( especially students ) think that the company itself gives… -
Re: Worst PR Ever...
"Now, is the company...at fault?" - Ladies and gentlemen: we have a winner! If we stick to your example, the question would be wether the murderous lunatic or John Carmack were at fault. That puts a slightly different perspective on things, doesnt it? In other words: even if its a one-man show I dont see why he had to post… -
Re: How is it to work in the industry?
But environment art is still a form of art. You're making something visually appealing by applying the skills an artist shoud have and you still get to tell a story, a story that won't stay in a gallery or be sold somewhere, but possibly influencing tens of thousands of people. I and many like-minded friends only got into… -
Re: Quitting a job to work on a portfolio
I would plan very carefully before quiting your job. I used to be an product engineer working in CAD and quited to study videogame design and art, and had a really hard time after finishing my studies, mostly because I realised what it actually needs to be considered for the job. It took me 4 months of internship and 6 of…
