A show reel for an environment artist? Normally you only need moving pics if you have something like FX or animation. Why not make your header go back to your home page, it's big and it doesn't take you anywhere? The miss-mash of fonts are a bit confusing. Also their prominence tells me you think they are important but its…
Proportion Checking - With the reference material and knowledge of the skells in the game, the modelling of the Skell will be done in three stages - * Step 1: Model the base frame * Step 2: Model the generic armour * Step 3: Model the vehicle components…
Yea I know this aint a 2d or 3d stuff, but it could help for your 2d-3d concept. I found this today cleaning up my old HD, this is 4-5 years old for me and I find it kinda funny. My teacher gave this to us to help us improve character traits. Might be usefull or not but I tought I could share it with ya guys. Feel free to…
Courses have started for the Fall term, but CGMA hasn’t let up on giving students access to the best resources an aspiring artist could ask for. CGMA, the leading provider of digital arts education, has been working hard to make sure students are well-equipped to enter into the industry with all the skills…
Its up to you, but reading through it I would make a high bet against you making it in the game industry. Its not about you not being able to learn it, its about betting on all the other people that are dedicated to the profession and the limited amount of jobs there are. To me the 10.000-hour rule is less about the amount…
Canti that sounds really rough. Definitely the extreme of what even I was thinking with this. Glad to hear you're turning the corner. I made a few edits based on what all of you were suggesting. I tried to take into account the entry level people and outside influences on art. C&C is again always great. ---- Artists are…
"Does have anything remotely close to Biped/Character Studio? If not are there rigging tools available like PuppetShop, CAT or CrypticAR?" Something like The Setup Machine blows away Biped or Cryptic. There are a number of excellent and proven low-cost or free rigs for Maya that blow away almost anything Max has to offer…
Hi Everybody - I´ve been silent far too long, but now it is time to break the silence. One of the reasons that I´ve been so silent is the fact that I´ve been far too lazy those last months, I don´t have much to show - but I intend to change that. Some short words about me (the long and boring edition can be found in the…
I found a really good post and comment on reddit.com/r/gamedev that might help some people think about their time a little differently. Original Post -Full time employees, where do you find the time to work on your projects?- I'm going to pre-face this with: don't say, "I do it at work" or "get a job where you can get away…
[ QUOTE ] I've been told numerous times when I've shown art teachers concept sketches of monsters, and non-human characters that the proportions are off and should be changed. Well...they are off because I made them off, on purpose, because its part of the character. [/ QUOTE ] Two items with this. the first one is that…
