Re: Can Twitter benefit us as artists?
The thing about Twitter that most people don't understand is that the reason it's a big deal is precisely because it's not a big deal. Setting up a blog, posting articles, managing facebook pages, moderating forums, promoting sites... these are all intensive processes. Facebook is actually pretty freaking complicated… -
Re: What polycount is to you?
Polycount is important to me. I've met a lot of people on here who I've then met in real life. Those connections and relationships can develop into long lasting friendships, or at the very least, acquaintances whom can help you in the industry or just shoot the shit with in IRC or chat. Polycount is also a place where you… -
Re: What would you be looking for in a Mentor who helps you get into the industry?
I'm currently not working in the games industry and only have around 3 years of experience, but I occasionally dedicate some time to mentor students who want to become good in 3D art. Aside from having industry experience and an amazing portfolio, I think a good mentor must have excellent interpersonal skills to… -
Re: The Walking Dead SPOILER THREAD
I just started reading the comics from the beginning again and found some parts we messed up on storyline wise. Lori tells Rick she's pregnant before they go to the Farm and even before they explore the empty housing community. Also as for why they skipped the housing community... I think as Mark said the cost wasn't worth… -
Re: Piracy Facts
There's more free games out there than anyone will ever be able to play in his lifetime, no one really needs the games you pay for, they're a luxury where there are ton of other games for free. No I actually agree with that first thing, as I've mentioned earlier in my posts, there really isn't any way to stop piracy… -
Re: Game Art vs Game Programming
That isn't quite true. While you certainly -CAN- pay that much for education, it is by no means necessary. That's why I advised the poster to avoid overpriced schools like DigiPen. Each US state has its own semi-socialized universities, where tuition is partially subsidized by the government. For example, in my town the… -
Re: help me with my research *survey *
First off, we have a dedicated forum section for edu subjects like this, Career & Education. General Discussion is not the place. I'll move it there for you. Second, we get a lot of students plying their surveys here. You should know that most people regard surveys as being spammy. Responding to someone's survey feels like… -
Re: Torbens Portfolio Creation
Wow. Just read all the feedback. Thanks a whole bunch people. I seriously cant express how thankfull I am. Mossbros: I have to confess, Most of them have a bunch of time spent on them. I used to do speedpaints more last year but I got the advice to really sit down and push rendering. I got some 2h from a few days ago… -
Re: 10 "insider tips" for artists applying to game studios
I wrote an entire article on why you should be using artstation, but long story short it's basically for that its easy to use, employers have the ability to follow you and save your work, and the fact that it has the whole social media element to it in that you can gain followers and fans over time that you can leverage… -
Re: Hand painting practise - crits please!
Well, workflow wise, i won't tell you what order to paint it in, but you definitely need to conceptualize it as something other than individual rocks. It's not just a pile of random rocks, it has a unified form, and if you don't go to great length to communicate that to the viewer it's not going to have any sense of mass…
