Re: How to go about hiring a 2D/3D artist in Ontario
Thanks for the info about going to schools, that is helpful. I actually was at the IDGA event that featured Polycount, a couple months back. The only thing about going to the event, there isn't really any "platform" to let the attendees know that you are looking to hire. As you mentioned, (and I was planning to do), I… -
Re: 5heepman's Digital Sketchbook
Danke! Right now I'm trying to get used to digitally sculpting, more than anything - I haven't been thinking too hard about target polycounts / other technical questions like that. It's more like: should teeth be a separate object? Is my anatomy believable/accurate? Is this how I should be displaying it? But I would… -
Re: Austin Polycounters - Sketch Group / Meetup
I'm really sad this got pushed down to page 2. I'm in Austin, I'm not a professional - but I'd be interested in a sketch night. I heard that there used to to be a Game Indsutry-ey sketch night at Spider House on some nights. I recommend looking into IDGA Austin as well since they have monthly events and they've been… -
Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
No longer a member. The last round of bitch slapping, "vote him out" semi-unprofessional spam coming out of the IGDA, had me running for the door. Not that the IGDA would actually move away from lame parties into the realm of activism. They only seem interested in becoming the next Water Buffalo lodge. I'm done paying dues… -
Re: Does getting a foot in the door work?
[ QUOTE ] I started off at Magic Lantern Playware [/ QUOTE ] Vassago, now i know who took that job away from me in 2003/4 I'm glad I introduced you to IGDA ElysiumGX. The IDGA is a great place for networking with other development people. IronHawk Don't give up! Eventually you'll get your break! Just don't stop working on… -
Re: E3 2013 Parties/Polycount Meetup
Brilliant! I'd love to do this even for GDC. :) Yeah we arrived at the wrong place at 6:18 lol. Had the GPS been right I think we'd have been ok. I'm glad it was a good time for those who made it though. I did end up making it to the IDGA party the day before, that was pretty cool. Ended up getting some awesome razer swag!… -
Re: Artist's rights to credit?
Same question I had once, and told and pwned by Tom B. Thats its not what IDGA was formed for, and if Im so into it, how should I start it? Like I said pwned, and rightfully so. Someone could spend all their time trying to get a union together and such, but then, never do what they wanted to do in the first place.… -
Re: Interview on Monday, need to relax!
I dont know if this will help you lower your stress, or raise it. But it can definitely help you prepare yourself a little more. Adam did a talk here in Toronto for the local IDGA, and he talks about his interview at Valve. The whole speech is a good listen, but the Valve talk starts around 36:00 if thats what you`re… -
Re: Income Range of Vets
Game Developer/The IDGA used to do annual salary surveys. IIRC for artists with 0-3 years of experience could expect an average between 30-50k, varying with skill level, location, etc, but thats the only stat I can remember with any sort of accuracy. They have a couple of older ones (2003 I think is the newest) on… -
Re: Industry Giants 2009, at Dallas Texas
Hey Raul, glad you posted this as I was going to revive the old thread I started to tell about Industry Giants, but you did it to a much higher level:) Everyone that is in the area should check this out, as we have brought in some serioulsy good talent this year, and anything to help events like this for our area always…
