I went to art school for about 7 years . It was great. didn't learn a lot from tutors, but at least I was in an environment dedicated to art , so i picked up stuff from other students. I studied mainly wildlife and scientific illustration and it really helped me when changing over to 3d stuff. I was a watercolourist and…
Hey all, The problem I'm having exist about my viewport being smeared out when I have the Nitrous driver loaded and if the shader type is being set to "shaded". example: Also when I put it on "realistic" with a simple mesh (a cube), rotating around the mesh is laggy. When I use a bigger mesh (7.5k tris) it instantly…

Lots of research has been done on the topic of "talent" and what has been a pretty good constant when it comes to great masters in ANY field is practice and tutoring. Mozart's father was an acclaimed musical instructor, tiger woods father was a highly respected golf teacher and both were taught constantly from a very early…
Hey, been trailing this software - looks nice so far. :) Since we can't save yet I've been just mimicking the output of it as best I can, since the difficult part is calculating optimal solutions. Is there a way to make IPackThat automatically group clusters/islands for you based on the element of which they belong to? If…
Hey! I figured I needed to start taking progress and actually making work more seriously, so I'm hoping making a sketchbook (and thus creating a place to post stuff) would benefit that! I'm currently a second year student at a University studying Game Design/Art (very broad so far), including how to make games with a group…
Speedtree for UE4 starts at 20 bucks a month. That really isn't so much. You can also download trial / evaluation versions to see if it fits your need. As far as I know, there isn't a student version. I would say the cinema version is the "universal" version but that expensive, yeah :D Honestly, the best thing to do is to…
Oh there are definitely a lot of skilled people coming from universities - and those will definitely be strong competitors. I am more thinking of the over-all level art-students are at. Not only in the UK, but also in the rest of Europe. Even in my country alone, most "art-students" end up unemployed. Luckily not from the…
One thing that a school can offer which can be hard to obtain yourself is a creative work environment with other like minded individuals around you. Given that the school offers a permanent workplace with a sufficient computer. They can also offer an opportunity to work in game projects with other students (not just art…
:) I can give them a bit of a pass since Thanksgiving was last week, but to be quite frank there's only so much time that I can spend waiting. I need them to merge the pull request already so that I can put it on my resume before I graduate from university on the 19th and work on finding a job. It would be nice if I worked…
