You only get tunnel vision when you are fully immersed in your work and that's something you have to find in yourself, other people won't be able to teach you :) If I can recommend a single book that helped me tons professionally and on a personal level it is Mastery by Robert Greene. In that book, he breaks down what…
@snork: Thanks snork! I don't feel skilled enough in 3d to take that side of a collaboration, i'm just learning and it's too much of a responsability : ) @spudnik: Thanks for the input. I tried a version with the handle as you suggest before deciding on this one, i was really undecided among the two but close relative's…
I got wrapped up in freelance work that I fell behind on my modeling progress. I found the noob challenge thread and decided to try my hand at a low poly shield. I struggled with uving, but it's doing what it needs to do so I count that as a win. One of the rules in the noob challenge thread stipulates that I need to…
Not many people get in on a junior level. I think it would either require a lot of luck, or knowing someone on the inside. These hard economic times are hitting the game industry too. You could try your chances in QA, or maybe get an internship (internships vary greatly on requirements). But don't let that get you too…
After getting the okay from the original concept artist Nick Bray I've recently started tackling making a 3D model based on the concept piece they made titled Mechanical Assistance starting with the helmet. It's still mostly in the general blockout to high poly phase of even the helmet design so far but any advice, even…
Hey Alistair, we should talk :) We're working on something that I know you'll like, with your experience in Three.js. Gir, it's going to be awhile before a real-time view can match what you're generating in your image renders. But if you want to show an employer your modelling skills, it's probably not good enough to show…
X-Post from the monthly Character challenge. I started really late, but it was still pretty enlightening as to my work flow. Really helped me identify where I was lacking. Not strong enough at handpainting to really make this piece pop and be finished, properly. Need to practice painting techniques. Really should figure…
Well I have built environemnts in several games and i must say although i kind of enjoyed them as an aside from my ususal role, I would find it hard to go the extra mile to develop in to a competent level builder. I suppose also when it comes down to it I am more interested in organic things than technical things.…
One of my favorite concept artists, Fernando Correa, posted a concept of this sword on his ArtStation and said to model it if you wanted to, so i did because its awesome :D https://www.artstation.com/artwork/dOAZoe A few props I made for the Box of Mystery challenge on Artstation last year, didn't end up finishing the…
Quick Update! Took a quick break from sculpting to gather some better references and get some feedback, I really want to push and push and see how far I can go with this prop. While gathering the new stuff together I decided to challenge myself to create something I've never properly used that can go with the prop, for…
