Re: Flash Portfolio?
:) P.S: I fixed the black-background loading glitch! But since we are on the subject of my site - I have no intention of going to a thumbnail system. I too view many portfolios at work everyday, thumbnail clicking wastes too much time, I just want to see image dumps. Everything is a trade off, there is no such thing as a… -

Re: How do you stay fit and healthy?
I'm a competitive bodybuilder and I work as a 3d artist for a video game studio. In my opinion this job is the perfect thing if you want to stay healthy. I guess for some guys if they have to crunch a lot, it might be difficult. But for me I bring like 5 meals to work everyday, I eat every two hours, do cardio every… -

Re: [Portfolio] - Alex Wells, Prop and Environment Artist
Thanks guys! @Toolpaddz Reworking a environment from a old game is a great idea. Plus no matter what I will look better than the original(or one would hope). As for local networking events. I try but Indiana is a bit barren when it comes to game development.(Have no issues with moving for a job, just throwing that out… -
Re: How do you guys push yourself to practice art?
I think it comes down to making time for it. And realizing sometimes you can't get a bunch of things done given the amount of time you have available, such as 2-3 hours. Granted that's a good amount of time, but you really can't expect to get a whole environment done in that time frame. Personally I think you're just… -
Re: Comparing roles in the industry. Indie vs AAA
I work as an indie and I am a level designer, environment artist, UI artist, game designer, technical artist and some times even tool programmer (having a programing background). So if you like to do lot of different stuff its nice, also you have some variance in your everyday tasks. But you have than less time to focus on… -
Re: -- Belly Off Club --
I used to box as an amateur. Running is the best way to lose weight and improve overall fitness and stamina. I am 5'9 and weigh about 150. I more or less eat as I please, a lot of big meals, but mainly rice based. I eat bread/milk etc, just cut down on junk food as much as possible. I go for a quick run with my dog… -
Re: Better/Best sketching program
photoshop for sketching sucks, yep, especially the newer releases. the smoothing option makes it a performance eater, with the brush trying to catch up on occasion. has interpolation issues as well when you're doing quick strokes or change directions fast, it seems. art rage has always been choppy on my boxes; nice…
