short version: it's not worth 80K. Pay yourself for a year and focus on sculpting and modeling. You drawing skills are too weak to be a concept artist. You will not need to know any other programs than Photoshop, Zbrush, Max/Maya and the company engine (oversimplifying a little i know) certificates are useless. At least…
I read an article about a month ago that said developers make the same game over and over again (but in "newer" versions) because consumers vote with thier time and money and that is what they buy, the latest version of the same game. The article also went on to say that the customers blame the developers for not coming…
Here's a short film I worked on as the animator and thie rigger for a class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgFgrQQlwE8 Sadly, since it was a production we had to do with other homework, it's not finished since last shot was completely butched and quickly done to ship it in time (the one where's he petting the bear).…

Jackablade: Hazardous' Hatsune Miku has been a great help, it was really awesome of him to put in time and write out his process. ceebee: I agree 100% about anatomy, and that real proportions are the foundation for stylization that can't be ignored. I've had the amazing Thieme books on anatomy in front of me, and I have no…
Its fine to make some edits in photoshop but I imagine that most game artists will still achieve the bulk of the look of thier 3d art in whatever render engine they use wether thats realtime or not. I personally think art like those far cry 5 guns are probably being rendered in toolbag as he lists it in the description but…
in the original post it's obvious that a nice guy has had enough of the same old questions and has every right to devote his time elsewhere. there are many others who do and can help. this field is highly creative and highly technical, two things that just do not go well together imo. to be successfully creative you need…
BradMyers is right, start wip threads and you will learn 10 x faster than u did in school. also agreed on the spikes on the dinosaurs they dont attach realistically, the structure of the creatures would have to be extremely heavy underneath the spikes to support them with thier size and weight. as for the 14000 pcount on…
A better comment should be, "how to keep your childern from spending too much time playing video games." Asthane, you need to go put a full rack of ribs on the BBQ, crank some hardcore porn thru your manly home theater, so loud that the neighbors 3 blocks away call the cops. But before they show up make sure to down a case…
[ QUOTE ] They really have made the cut scenes uber film esque, and while there have been a shitload so far (much like MGS2), it still is pretty entertaining. I kinda like the cut scenes though. Only thing id wish is that Snake didnt have to cry to the codec radio thing after every major thing happens... kinda ruins the…
