Re: Advice for starting a team project
Gave some similar advice in another thread today but here's some more tailored to starting a team or business: 1. Do not run it like a pure democracy, you need somebody in charge, and the rest need to work to his or her vision. People need to be able to feel that its theirs too, but you DO need somebody calling the shots.… -
Re: ArtStation Portfolio and Critique Help
To be honest, in my opinion your work literally reads 'tutorial student' baseline level quality, frankly nothing visually appealing or essentially in other words lacks originality too differentiate among an ever increasing pool of aspiring candidates. I'd seriously recommend setting aside time to browse through this PC… -
Re: Art test question
There are definitely cases where you will be required to turn in assets as part of an art test. Legitimate AAA companies will do this. Then again, some won't. If you are dealing with a well known studio, there should be no concern. If they give you a concept, you are most likely under NDA anyway and they could prevent you… -
Re: marvelous designer 4 is out, has quadrangulate!
yes. Can't say who, but we had a few AAA and Gen4 productions using this tool (they're on MD's client list). We totally ditched Maya nCloth for it. It's no contest at all. Marvelous is just great for props - curtains, tents, drapery, bags, pillows, nets, etc. and very fast to iterate. Of course it's also awesome for… -
Re: 'Cold calling' Job Applying for Video Game Industry
I agree with the suggestions here. Get some game ready stuff created and re-apply then! Look at the artists at the studios you are interested in. Try to find their junior or mid-level artists. If you can create what they have in their portfolio then you should apply. In terms of env art. The CG Student Challenge (or… -
Re: Work in the game industry in Australia with a working holiday visa?
Just enjoy your holiday, the weather in Queensland is awesome this time of year. Trying to snag a short term gig in AUS is like winning lotto...and besides after the AAA studio system was practically flat earthed here back in 2012, it's doubtful you'd even find a listed vacancy other than a possible opening at an indie… -
Re: Portfolio Crits
Alright, I spent the day and trimmed down my portfolio, worked on my renders, and fixed my resume. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful feedback. Anything else that stands out that I need to fix? www.artbyv.com I know I need to push myself and create stuff that looks more like current gen AAA titles, but hopefully the… -
Re: Art Test done- month on and no word
Yep its a business trend that's growing, not all trends are successful. Most of the industries falling into that habit are industries that have been around for less than an average humans working life span, 3d games even more so. I just don't buy the idea that all AAA HR departments are that busy that they are literally… -
Re: What has the games industry been like for you?
Did they fire you because your design philosophy was on the opposite end of what they thought a player could chew through? I mean if you tried to do levels in old-school Thief style... But it sounds strange anyway. Are you sure they were happy with your work? I've heard that it's sometimes hard to get honest feedback in… -
Re: Over time discussion cont'd
I remember hearing from a friend that where he works (AAA game studio) they make him do x amount of overtime a month without pay. What the flip? Is this normal!? (by his reaction and things said in this topic it seems so) So they make you work for nothing? or to put it another way, you don't get paid as much as you think…
