90k after considering taxes and cost of living for a family with more than 1 child and an eye to retirement savings? I think many sell themselves very short in an industry that relies on exceptionally talented creative minds. A Baltimore City Police sergeant makes 90k a year and does not have as much of a burden…
@Dethling Wall Pieces. 1. Blockoout scale reference in 3d program (Maya, Max, etc) 2. Zbrush. Load in blockout. Append a cube, sculpt a stone brick. 3. Sculpt a few more bricks, varying size and shape. 4. Place bricks on top of the base mesh and position. Duplicate them around the whole base mesh until covered. 5. Sculpt…
On the subject of lighting, by 2013-14 whose to say we don't just get a much more dense and efficient version of the (already existing, tested and usable) Crysis 2's LPVs/Irradiance-Volumes? There is already quite a lot of lot of work being put in to a variant of it: "Interactive Indirect Illumination Using Voxel Cone…
That's just the way it is man... you are going to have to make sacrifices at some point. Either now with Gnomon, or later once you get your first job. Most entry level jobs are pretty gruelling. My first QA gig at EA, I worked 12 hrs/day for 14 consecutive days (not complaining, I was thrilled for the opportunity at the…

5.56 Mag The mag to me just looks to tilted, it seems like the bolt would have to rock backwards at an extreme angle inside the grip (there is actually a gun that does this but I can't remember its name I'm sure someone will pop in and supply it though). The problem with that on this gun is you have your trigger linkage…
Hello. Thank you for sharing, that is a lot of information. The link to the "photometric viewer" seems dead (expired domain). You mentioned at the end that decisions on light type and location aren't relevant, but let me tell you, I'd love to know more about how lights are chosen, placed etc. so that you not only light the…
Well for some reason the vray camera is making the image a little weird. Not sure why. BUT getting closer to the finished (or workable finished product) Im doing a high poly model to learn some different modeling techniques. I wont texture this because of the poly count and besides, before I even think about texturing I…
Here is a new project I'm starting that I'm calling the Underground Ruins. My goal is to complete a 3d scene in 15 days(starting now). I want to use as many modular pieces as possible and have a next-gen feel. I also want to learn how to manage my time better and create bigger and better projects for the future. Here is my…
