I've actually been meaning to start a discussion on a similar note. Whatever happened to the concept of a personal website in this community? It probably has a lot to do with the fact everyone is getting older and working professionally in the same field that was once just a hobby... I just really liked some of the more…
Tell your teacher to post his work here too! I'm sure he has some experience and doesn't teach you based on theory and tutorials. At least I hope Can you tell more about the school program and what they are teaching you? Is it only technical skills (what button does what etc.), how to lay out polys for good deformation,…
You are only young once. You will work for most of your life. I'm with Shepeiro enjoy your college years. My last job was incredibly hesitant to hire people with out college degrees. I'd say get a degree in something besides strictly games. You might decide in 5 years that you hate the games industry and just really like…
No, that's not the logical response at all. In fact it's highly irrational. While football has been around for decades and decades, videogames are relatively new territory. In other words, the fundamental premise of the argument is that football is an acceptably safe hobby for a growing child. The rest of the argument…
What you've hit on is that of the space containing all ideas only a subset of those make good stories or entertainment. OF the ideas that make good entertainment, only a subset of those are interactive, and of the interactive ones only a smaller set are applicable to a video game mechanic.. and of those only some are any…
Sounds like a cool product to develop or investigate. I am wondering if you have any ideas about the market(s) you can target with such a product. Anybody who does design work at either a professional or "advanced hobby" level uses a tablet for this. Even if you can add preasure sensitivity to a mouse then drawing with a…

I started doing 3D graphics some years ago as a hobby and i learned a bit of everything but now that i'm 20 i decided to specialize in a field to transform this hobby in a career. The field that i like the most is FX…
Hi there, I've been into 3D modeling the last 3 years as hobby but now I'm trying to profesionalize myself. My wish is to join some small indie studio, I'm aware that with my current portfolio and experience applying for big studios or AAA is unrealistic. I've already applied to a few small studios unsuccessfully and I'm…
Heyho :) , Since i really just did 3D as a hobby and haven't had much time recently to keep on doing it and 3d-Coat also is a little overkill for the little 3D related stuff i still do, I decided to sell my license to somebody else who might have more use for it than me. I ask for 300 Dollar ($) for a professional use…

Any digital art i produce is in 3D, primarily using zbrush and keyshot, with a bit of Marvelous Designer. My full-time job has nothing to do with Art or digital art so as such my artwork is purely personal and a…
