Re: Learning Japanese for playing games
Heh yeah I am trying to learn the speaking thing too. Japan is somewhere I've always wanted to visit, possibly for an extended stay. In fact I just wrote my Architecture dissertation on the historical development of Japanese design (and Buddhist influence lol but that's another story), I know it's not 100% necessary but… -
Re: Software Investment?
@Oblivion2500 Yes you can open .ma files in LT. You cannot open Maya LT files in regular Maya. This is to prevent it being used for things it is not meant (modelling movie props and only have one copy of regular Maya in an entire studio for example) You can export larger then 100.000 if you export to a game engine like… -
Re: No animation for me
what school are you going to? If you want a good rigging book pick up Maya Character Creation by Chris Maraffi. I had this guy as an instructor and he's a really good teacher. We built a working amateur film rig with muscles, set driven keys, expressions, and a Mel coded UI in 4 weeks. While the book is Maya based you'll… -
Re: 3D Environment Artist Looking for Portfolio Critique
Hey, I took a quick look. Are you still in school or graduated now? Alot of your work looks like student work and not up to par to what studios are looking for. This is typical of most graduates and students and most need to spend additional time to learn the latest techniques as well as getting better doing game art in… -
Re: schools in sweden to attend to?
You could check out http://www.thegameassembly.com/ they have both a 3d generalist education and a level design education. I think roughly 75% of the students land jobs too so I imagine that's the highest employment rate of any swedish game school. And yeah, concerning the letter, I dunno, maybe tell them a bit about your… -

Re: Sketchbook: Isso09
Time to get back to work. I'm making some robots next. Will probably upload by Sunday. In concept art, three things guide your decisions when making shapes: appeal, functionality and gameplay implications. A lot of hard surface and architecture design is about adjusting angles to make straight lines flow in a nice way. In… -
Re: help me with my research *survey *
First off, we have a dedicated forum section for edu subjects like this, Career & Education. General Discussion is not the place. I'll move it there for you. Second, we get a lot of students plying their surveys here. You should know that most people regard surveys as being spammy. Responding to someone's survey feels like… -
Re: Software - Where to begin after graduation?
Student versions of Autodesk keep working after you graduate, if you aren't signed up for their free student software program, do it now before your graduation. Maya, 3ds Max, and Mudbox are all on there. Don't use them commercially. You should be able to use the software until the license term has expired. Free Unreal… -
Re: portfolio critique
Your site is very basic which is good. The design is too basic however and looks like it was done by a highschool student...unless you are a highschool student. You should at least make it more professional looking. As for the art, all of your stuff needs at least another texture pass and then you should re render them in…
