Re: Getting disheartened
Hello again! I just thought I'd ask if you have an animation portfolio owing to your graduation. Your work does show potential. It would be difficult for you to gauge your work unless you compare with others/reference but in time your eye will get sufficiently trained to see inconsistencies. There was a time when companies… -
Re: Studios like CD Projekt Red
I think it also comes down to the employee in the end, though practices like overtime without fair compensation (since they are salaried) no job protection for contract employees absolutely need to change. One special problem in our industry is that many workers are wilfully ignorant of the exploitation they endure on… -
Re: Carrer seems to be hitting a brick wall.
Thanks for the kind words guys. @skylebones I've been out of work for about 3 or 4 months now. I've been landing a test here or there for things like marketing positions doing almost unrelated to where my real skill sets are. But I'm under the financial gun and If I have to do photo shoot roto work to pay the bills, I… -
Re: Loss of Motivation
This is a big issue with school. While you are there it's very structured and you are given goals and deadlines which in turn motivates you to do the work. Once you get out and do not have that structure and pressure to do things your work ethic collapses. On top of that alot of people think that because they went to… -
Re: Question Abouts Freelancing from Student.
I was in the very same position a few years back. I finished school and didn't know what I wanted to do. At the age of 17 I had it in my head that I could spend 4 years working on my skills by myself rather than going to university. In terms of pay, I was making £xxx-£xxxx per project with quick turnarounds whilst I was a… -
Re: Is it "cheating" to use photographs for textures?
Hello Rogelio, I do appreciate you giving me such a detail insight of your production process and constraints. I do agree that vfx texture & surfacing process is a very different animal than the one for video games. To be honest I only have production experience in film or high res advertising. So my thoughts about… -
Re: Having trouble choosing my next 3D career move
My advice would be ask yourself what do I enjoy most? Would you mind moving to a different country? Is there a studio you fancy? I guess you are intro 3D modeling since you mentioned props/envart. If so then you have to look at your possibilities. I noticed that you are based in The Netherlands (Heb ook op Friesepoort… -
Re: games industry unionization thread/improving conditions in our workplaces
Game Workers Unite! * Have you ever felt exploited by the game industry? Are you in a precarious situation? No job stability and in desperate need of support? Are you losing hope that you can work in a landscape you love at all? * Are you tired of crunch? * Worried management isn’t listening to you or your concerns? * Are… -
Re: Viability of a 3D Character Art Career
Better chance of getting a job in the NBA, wow....with those odds it makes it seem like you'd have to be pretty crazy to after this haha. I feel like this dark side of the industry is avoided around here because of how depressing it can be. Positivity is something more people want to spread, which I can totally understand.… -
Re: Finding it confusing to land a job.
I think the main issue portfolio wise, is that you don't have anything that showcases that you understand the game modeling pipe line, i.e high poly to low poly work flow + using the latest texturing techniques. The portfolio as it stands could work for CG visualization in architecture/advertising/automobile industry. Your…
