This is the problem, you are probably stressed and desperate to become anything in order to escape military service, which I understand and Im sorry to hear that you are placed in such a tough situation. What you should do is pick something you are the most interested in and use the year you have to ace it. You have some…
I agree with what others have said, the only thing that actually costs anything when it comes to building an art portfolio is your time. yea substance is 15 bucks a month, but so is a trip to go see the new avengers movie. as in, the cost is so minimal i wouldnt really consider that a make or break it factor. the one thing…
Update time! Been chugging along steadily over this week. Made a bunch of tweaks to everything and I actually started enjoying myself instead of stressing out haha. Biggest change since last time is I've split the shoulder off to a seperate mesh so she can actually move her arms, i also made an inside portion of the knee…
I think the reason some schools stress on students working together to create a complete game as part of their coursework stems from the market in which they operate. Many of these schools are marketed as "_____ school gets you the job", and the job market in games depends from place to place. Also being one of the few…
Tul_ > Thanks! Yeah I know what you mean.

Plus the FX and vertical magic beams will help add height and depth I…
Zwebbie: You're getting hung up on examples of limitations. That list was examples. For instance: Don't use the colour grey. That's a limitation. I wasn't specifying them to be cliches individually but just examples of limitations so people were encouraged to draw away from cliches. Paul was right in that something like…
I personally am not having any issues with any sort of slowness either. Sure the pictures do not load instantly, but with my decent internet speeds, it is not anything annoying. As for portfolio critique, the group project is really solid. I also really enjoy the WIP video from the Aeolus project. If you are trying to…
Well if you need 5 paragraphs to explain to me how exactly you're not snarky, I'm not sure if I'm buying it :) But anyway, to adress your points: The topic wasn't really: "Is zbrush the perfect hardsurface modeling tool" but, as I understood it: "Is it a valid workflow for making hardsurface art". Of course there are many…
thanks all :) swizzle : upper right is specular :) what you thought was spec is the actual gloss map (3 point shader features colored gloss, which allows for great effects) warning : big pix so this is a one week experiment, I don't have much time to do a full scale enviro because of work, so I have to try and go as fast…
Thank you Sectaurs, the situation is the scene is already done not even textured yet and I have been requested to recreate It but their is nothing wrong with the scene I was sent & even he said It was fine. Edit on topic: 1 year employed. Not an art test, gj. Asset is already done and he likes It, but is requesting me to…
