To stress and re-iterate Eric, where I said that I felt of most of my managers 'you patronizing little shit' in regard to any discussions on my development, It was in the case of having a manager that knew NOTHING about Art at all and had not 'been in the trenches'. And in fact, where I am, that is simply ALWAYS the case.…
The only two arguements I'm hearing in favor of a degree is: 1. to get a Visa. 2. to get the teamwork experience. And they're good arguements. Ridiculous, but good. You can learn to become an artist without being instructed...unless you have no motivation, in which case, perhaps you shouldn't be doing art. Maybe you just…
AI - San Diego alumni here. I've heard some good things about AI LA as well, I know some folks with some really good work come from there such as 00Zero. I don't know how they run their curriculum compared to AiCSD. The school did a fine job in pointing me in the right direction and the instructors do their best to keep…
- make more art with more dedication and focus [cyberArts programme at school should help] - work out with a schedule [rather than randomly according to 'mood' like it is now] - take part in more competitions other than Dom War so that i can train myself in a 'stressed' situation - try to get into other media of art [clay,…
sorry to hear about the bad news! I dont think anybody is going to be able to give you a good answer to your questions. It comes down to your faith and what you believe; it's very introspective. I find that usually my dreams put me in stressful situations and I think it's a way for my body to process my emotions from the…
All of the above thread is incredibly sound advice. One thing to add based on this quote, while you are still figuring out the main pipeline of 3D please ignore this fear mongering about draw calls that so often gets blown out of proportion. 99% of the time in a non-production environment you will not need to worry about…
Hello! I am currently creating a rwby comic and currently injured my wrist that I can no longer draw long periods of time anymore. I am looking for someone to create some OC rwby models that would be able to create and rig them. This will allow me to move them around to pose them then draw the lineart using the model. This…
Hi. I'm making a character for an assessment and although it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the requirements doc, the teacher is really stressing against having any triangles in my work. I'm making a low poly character suitable in density for the half-life 2 engine, and I need the right shape and low density where I can…
Hey guys Since I asked that question afew weeks ago,soemthing that all new artists ask...along the lines of "how do you guys get images and textures so sharp?" as im one of the many that just can't keep face textures or digipaintings sharp. So one of you guys answered me and suggested just using a hardbrush and painting,so…
My PS is crashing on simple shit. Turned off the accelerated goodness, updated nVidia drivers. Thought it was a bad version, downgraded drivers (after using a tool to clean them all out). Got off the phone with Adobe who said "Oh, just do the update, will clear it up..". Just did the update and it still happens! Went and…
