Help finding an artist!
Hey there everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew the name of an artist I thought I'd bookmarked but obviously didn't and he had a ton of stuff I was about to drop in my inspiration folder. This is a long shot since I'm going off of complete memory and the best I can do is attempt to describe the guy. I'm 99% sure the… -
Re: UDIM vs UV sets ?
Thanks a lot for your answers guys ! UDIM is basically uv sets on steroid. From what you describe it looks more useful for VFX / Cinematic jobs where you need ( and can ) use 20 16K Maps on a Hero Char or Hero Props. The auto connect features looks really interesting that might be a good argument to use them. I know many… -
Re: Becoming a 3D Character Artist, what is your opinion?
While reading your post, it really doesn't sound like anything I'd expect coming out of someone who is an experienced character artist. Because it doesn't make sense. Regardless of the area, to be one of the best in the industry is not easy and requires tremendous amount of artistic skill. I can't think of a master… -
Re: I am thinking quit been a 3d artist, need advice!!!
If you really love making game art I'd say stick with it. Perfect practice makes perfect. Disclaimer I'm not in the industry but have been in this scenario and it's helped me focus and level up where I can. Like @slosh said, you should think about a focus. Weather it be Realism or stylized, characters, monsters or props… -
Re: Hypothetical Question - Importance of your job in your life
I personally value my job/project and the country I'd live in equally. After all. If one of the two is shit then 50% of your time will be shit. I like having a social life and have the option of doing stuff outside of work. "Would you quit fulltime employment at a city far away, for a temporary contract position to be in… -
Re: [WIP] Windmill - BGE
Yeah, that's the runt-of-the-litter-clamoring-for-attention effect. The short man at the party doing the same. Blender's a decent tool- I use it myself pretty frequently-but its community is retarded. Since it's a free tool, it attracts a lot of youngsters with over inflated and unrealistic expectations of their futures in… -
Re: Recruiters?
You outsource the pre-screening to recruiters. Unlike HR people, who're often mainly admin, a good recruiter should have some games background. Recruiters do all the initial bla-bla, do background checks, etc. HR isn't just about hiring, they have a LOT of other stuff to do next to hiring new people, so this takes some… -
Re: "AAA" launches
marble? : ) There was a time where AAA term did not exist, not so long ago. A game was fun or was not, regardless of the budget. Yes the experience is subjective to the person who plays the game. But Just like food, just cause you are making caviar doesn't mean everyone will love it. Just like going at a pricy restaurant… -
Re: 3D art and high school
I did. Made sure I got to uni first (USC for me). SATs, ACTs, GPA maintenance, APs, SAT II's, Boy Scouts, and college applicaiton essays. Lots of after-school academy, as expected of a Korean boy. A part of the rationalization was better Uni --> more opportunities. Mind you, I had colleagues who just went to art academy…
