My god lets see. 1999 - Wrapped up my freshman year of college. - Worried more about playing baseball, partying and chicks then my studies. Didn't enroll for the fall semester. - Broke up with girlfriend of 3 years. Went on to bang lots of chicks. - Left Maine for the summer and spent most of it between Fayetteville, NC…
Having just learned digital game art over the past three year while trying to learn to draw, which was a massive, MASSIVE pain in the ass for me, i would like to say please don't spend money on schooling unless you want the social interaction or don't like learning things from the net or youtube. Everything you need to…
Couldn't disagree more. This is an art forum where people come to hone their craft. If you don't want to listen to people who know better than I don't know what to say, other than it's good to keep an open mind and remain humble. Yeah a lot of this stuff is very different in a production environment, but it's important…
Looks like a decent start, gallows! You did indeed pick a tricky subject to start out on. You're right -- proportions look good. Detailing armour, getting it the right shapes and not messing it up can be tricky and time-consuming. I only really tried it recently, with just enough success to convince me to try again at a…
First of all props for being aware that work has a cost, and that said cost is indeed quite high. Now this thread is very interesting imho because it reveals that there is much more than seemingly meets the eye with this kind of project. With all that said, there are two ways to answer your question. - - - - - 1 • The…
: shrugs : Bill Gate != Microsoft. He might be the chairman but if the companies direction was 100% up to him there would be no X-Box, no Mactopia, no Microsoft Game Studios, etc. He was a clever businessman in the the 80s, but now he's like the previous Nintendo CEO. A dinosaur unwilling to change his ways and views of…
Wow - thanks everybody! Man I love Polycount... In a platonic way *cough* Thanks so much for everybody who shared advice and opinions. For those who said it, your totally right that sometimes it is very tough to see the good things in life when all the bad are piling up in front of you... For me anyway. Just to clarify the…
You can argue population size as the cause of more crimes in one country than another but that doesn't matter. In Puerto Rico there are more than 2000 violent deaths a year By violent deaths I mean murder. Yes it belongs to the USA, and if you live there to be safe you need to have all your doors and windows locked. Every…
Completely false. Every studio I interviewed at and whilst working at Bungie all loved the fact that I had a degree. Each art director/art manager I spoke with like the fact that I had a degree. Yes you dont need one to get the job but that is compeltly diffrent from saying it dosnt matter because it dose, just not as much…
I tried learning Autocad but it annoyed me too much. I had typed up a big essay too but the damn polycount form no longer valid shit came up and the copy and paste I did before refreshing got screwed up so here are the cliff notes. Software needs to get rid of all the useless redundant shit they have that break the…
