Re: Should I get a degree in Game Art?
As a teacher at in a rather low end 3d art program, my advice? Don't do it. Most schools will really only be able to teach you the basics. I'd mirror what other people have said here. You'll get better bang for your buck getting tutorials from eat3d/gnomon/3dmotive or even digital tutors depending on your skill level. In… -
Re: Looking for advice
Welcome to Polycount! Don't drink the milk. :/ 1. Being 23, is it to late for me to consider a career in game design? I already feel to old so I really don't want to waste time.

Re: Really thin tiling texture edges (marble tiles)

There is also two surface properties happening on the tiles, similar to car paint, you have the lacquer gloss coat and then you have the underlying surface. So if you wanted to get crazy detail you can try to… -
Re: Yet another 2014 Arenanet Art Test
I would really encourage you to do a ton of anatomy studies if characters are what you're looking to get into, it's the first thing to learn and the easiest for fellow humans to spot as "off." These are my favorite free tutorials/resources, but there are plenty more around: General Character Design References (huuuuge… -
Re: [UE4] Columbia Scene - (Based on Hitman 2)
I went through the mud ground material I made before, from the mentorship w/ Josh Lynch, & just went over a bit of Daniel Thiger's mud ground tutorial, just to try out different workflows for this material. Not sure if I'll use everything I watched through Thiger's tutorial, but probably will use some practices that I've… -
Re: Sketching - Cross Hatching
Hi, I have actually used this tutorial from Dark Design Graphics http://darkdesigngraphics.co.uk/cross-hatching-tutorial, the tutorial is very simple and easy to understand but works really well. I believe it is done by an Artist called 'Alasdair' and his drawings are incredible. I have tried to fine out more about him but… -
