Re: I Need Your Help
I am going to ask you some questions first, and then I will give you some more advice back. Do YOU think your portfolio is good enough to get a job? Have you done research of other JR artists who have jobs, or are looking for jobs and compared your portfolio to theirs? How much work have you done since you graduated 2… -
Re: How do i get an internship at Ubisoft
Would an internship count as a junior position? And would the intern require to produce work at an industry standard level? Any internships I've seen have a fair amount of training involved and usually works alongside a college program, at least in Toronto that was the system, and it was an arrangement with indie studios,… -
Re: What it takes to get in the Game industry?
I dropped out of high school and managed to get a job in games. 1 person in charge of hiring at an interview even saw it as a plus because it shows you're (likely) more independent and driven. Having said that; Getting a job in games was also what I really wanted to do with my life but it was somewhat anti-climactic. I… -
Re: A solution to bad baking in 3ds max; xnormal?
It's a bit more complicated than that, as it involves how specific environments handle various tangent basis. This is precisely what the Handplane video is demonstrating :) Unfortunately you assumed wrong :) This is why there are tons of normalmap baking issues and artifacts in many games - even in AAA titles with huge… -
Re: Abandon the career?
Yeah that would be good, just depends on what you want. Do you want to pursue 3D as a nice hobby and have a secure career, or pursue 3D as a career? If you pursue it as a hobby then focusing on Indie mobile games would be more viable for you. For a career, indie games don't net you much money at all unless your game goes… -
Re: Working towards that perfect job
I started as character artist but I knew it would be very difficult to compete with some of the kickass people in the industry. Eventually I worked on my technical skills again and now I work as technical artist. This may not work for everyone, I know. All I want to say, there are many routes into the industry, and some… -
Re: Need portfolio feedback and/or general advice
What position are you looking for? 3d modeler, concept artist etc. If 3d your 2d section could be concept sketches of the characters you designed. They do not have to be beautiful paintings but just show you can conceptualize. Put the troll first its the best. Then generics characters later. Also what type of company are… -
Re: Work in next gen?
Actually, when there is a large change, that seems to make it easy to get hired. I remember when normal maps started getting popular, all of a sudden every studio wanted them, and if you could make normal maps you could get a job doing something. I knew this one guy that got a job taking textures, hitting the button in… -
Re: Rate my portfolio/work. Advice.
Personally I'd suggest learning Max as an industry gateway for hard surface work. In my opinion pretty much indistinguishable from Blender in terms of workflow complexity, either high res cinematic or game res asset generation which from a freelancer perspective both apps really excel. Folio: ...but still a very basic… -
Re: 3d touch up artist
It wouldn't be the worst way. You would learn a lot about optimization I would assume and you'd be working with art directors and other artists, as well as QA people. If you can afford to live off 15/hr and want to start in that way, go right ahead. If you have the skill and education (or knowledge) to get you an entry…
