Re: Character Design courses in London, UK
On my 2 cents: Althought I understand that you wish to spend money on your game development. The core needs can be found on www.gamedev.org I would suggust you should start learning on your own. I have learned the art work (sketching) on my own and now practicing modeling along with practicing of C++. Which is the base… -
Re: Good editorial on piracy by Stardock
[ QUOTE ] donating your stockholder's money to take care of people instead of developing and trying to sell a game is not really good business sense and "there are many problems in the world" doesn't really have much bearing on a discussion about industry and business practices [/ QUOTE ] I never said any money should be… -
Re: Looking for advice from any Japanese speakers, residents.
I studied Japanese for 5 years. Originally I was going to double major in it and teach English in Japan if the game industry fell through. I think learning in an structured environment is key for starting out. After you know enough Japanese to hold a decent conversation, then you should find someone to practice with in… -
Re: Simple Handpainted Crate
As a start, it was definitely a good first try at it... I know the growing pains all to well, I am currently learning and practicing the art of hand painting textures, its hard to get the feel of it, but when you establish your own style and workflow for it, it starts to come naturally. And yeah, the key is to use a… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
Don't worry about being to old, I didn't get my first break in the industry til I was 24,and there's plenty of people who break in who are older than that. As for schooling, i can't comment much on how American Games Degrees are in terms of quality being from the UK myself, however when I was at uni I found that I spent… -
Re: Treasure Hunter Thief
Crazy_Pixel, DeathStick - Agreed. The amount of dirt is equivalent to that of a mud bath. It definitely is on it's way to looking good, I just think there needs to be an asymmetrical buildup. Right now, everything is far too uniform and dirty. 1. The forehead (upper right) should have almost no mud or buildup. 2. The right… -
Re: Hard-Surface Ninja Dude looking for some feedback
Hey, thanks for your reply and for the sugestions. I'm not going to apply anything from that to this character because what I had in my head for this guy is allready done, even though I'm not completly satisfied with him and it has it's errors most of which you noticed yourself, his soulpurpouse was to help me practice… -
Re: search Physically based rendering article for thesis
These are some links I've found very helpful when discussing PBR theory. They all cover slightly different things, and some (especially the articles by Sebastian Legarde) are more in-depth than others. https://seblagarde.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/feeding-a-physical-based-lighting-mode/… -
Re: Seeking Professional Advice
It looks like you already have the foundational skills, you just need practice to get your work closer to the industry standard. While you may be able to find that time to practice while going to school, you'll also end up doing a bunch of not-exactly-related BS, and you'll go from being paid comfortably to paying out the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Abidus
Hey, nothing wrong with referencing others' work, as long as you give credit, right? I agree though, the last two are certainly the best ones. The other ones are coming, but they're in that "uncanny valley" phase, I think: they're close, but because they're close, the inaccuracies really begin to show through. (I'm kind of…
