Re: Struggling to break into the industry? Is your folio helping you?
This is a great discussion and one I am involved with all the time. Thanks Stuart for starting this thread. Quick background on me so you know where I have been and my experience: 17 years working in games and Discovery Channel documentary work. 10 years as 3D instructor- trained over 100 students worldwide in Denmark,… -

Re: Why Modo?
1) 901 symmetry is good for me. Previous versions had many issues. 2) Agreed. Farfarer, you are life saver, thanks! 3) You can emulate relax brush with smooth tool in topology tab + airbrush faloff. Workaround for lowpoly meshes - duplicate and constrain to its copy. 4) I remember some UV issues with FBX export. Forgot how… -
Re: Cheap Cintiq - Yiynova MSP19
Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your experience bridgette :) Let's try to keep the Q&A in the thread rather than emails so that all can benefit and your answers and you don't have to answer any given question more than once. I've got some questions: 1. Does the surface heat up to an uncomfortable level after… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Seat of the Stargazer - (Team) Jellied Whales
today i wanted to mock up the kind of shader that will be used to place and show the marble floor tiles. Step 1: build my maps, i planned to use multiple marble tiles and i knew i would also need some tile masks. in addition to this i built a few normal tiles and a roughness map for the tiles. Step 2: pretty simple, upload… -
Re: Driving to a studio to apply in person - Good idea, bad idea?
I got my first industry job through this route. The way you do it is to call up the studio first and politely ask whether it would be alright to bring around your portfolio and perhaps have a chat with the HR about it. Some will say no, but with some luck others will allow it. I think I got 4 casual interviews with… -
Re: Demo Reel Tips
Echoing everything here. Still shots, easy to navigate website, done. That being said, if you still plan on doing a demo reel... 1. If you must have music, no vocals, and something that fits with the combined style of your pieces. 2. 1-2 minutes, at most. Keep watching it and find that sweet spot. 3. Turnarounds should be… -
Re: First go at a complete character!
The arms are sticking out rather spaghetti-like. Where are the latissimus dorsii? The shoulder could also do with a bit more defined shape. Be it a sharp ride because of the stitching (see image) or more defined muscle (especially bringing in the shoulder and adding a dimple above the triceps) - it needs some slight vertex… -
Re: How many hours would this take you?
Currently I think something like that would take me about a 24 hour time period on this computer, but it's about a 7 year old computer. I mean, if you have to model the whole thing then make the low poly and bake down it would take a while. But if you model the general shape, sculpt in the sort of waviness/wrinkle type… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
Marks... you do realise who Matabus is, right? I'm pretty sure he knows what it's like to break in. The thing I'm curious about though, is that at what point does the lack of a 'life' actually end? I'm hearing increasingly of people who bust their ass for 15 hours a day trying to break in, only to end up spending their…
