I'm with Pior on this. It may not be particularly helpful to you, but I would not personally take a class on modeling from an instructor who couldn't even create their own example asset. One would at least expect them to already have their own portfolio they could pull from. And that is of course before even getting into…
LC - while I totally understand where you are going with this (examining existing models is by all means a great way to learn about the technicalities of game art), I think the elephant in the room is that one would expect a Uni teaching game art to already have access to such content to begin with. If I am not mistaken…
Yes, lots of schools rip off students. But LC here is trying to make them a little less ripped off by actually teaching them relevant things. I don't think this is a bad way of going about it. If you don't want to give them models, don't. But there's nothing wrong with him trying to help out his students. I'll try to throw…
I went to VFS, and the school has rights to use our work we did while we were there for marketing, teaching, etc. I certainly did not mind this due to the marketing power of the school and it's free exposure for me if they ever publish it on their Youtube or anything. So I think one of the first places you should look is…
An alternative is the Marmoset Viewer on ArtStation. I seem to find myself using the breakdown view and looking through each individual texture and dissecting the LP geo. Of course its not nearly as awesome as having the source files to something, but it sure as hell is better than nothing at all :) Wish Marmo Viewer was…
The fact that the bureaucracy of a school makes it difficult for well intentioned instructors to get funding to provide material really seems like a better argument in favor of not giving them anything. "Donating" material for free just because an instructor begs for it simply rewards the institution for their obstinance.…
Hi As always I am on the look out for quality material donated for my students to explore in relation to what we teach. It will give them a chance to pull the product apart and explore them in there own time. While lecturer staff do come up with material and we employ Visiting Lecturer staff to help do the same the more…
Thanks for the love guys and understanding, there's some amazing resources from all of you so thank you! When the students get to see these products whether its a Drop ship, Batman Car, Aircraft Carrier and so they realize its a team effort and it becomes quite apparent that for many in this industry you have to learn to…
