Re: Struggling 3D Artist in Japan
if you want to get better at 3D art, you're going to have to buy the software and train yourself in your free time Last I checked Novedge had one of the cheapest listings for a Zbrush license (I'm not sure if this is the case anymore, I don't see a perpetual license listed, would want to double-check), you can also buy a… -
Re: Is it really worth persuing a career in Art/CG?
I wouldn't compare art outsourcing to call center outsourcing if you want to calm people's fears - outsourcing to India had a big impact.

Re: Portfolio advice for getting into the Games Industry - Character Artist
The people in india are overworked with studios overwhelmed with work outsourced to them.

Re: Sloppy work or poor directions - Sony presentation on how much they cost and how to measure it

That is one part of the subject that was not really shown here is that the review process… -

Re: The Industry Fortress
it's pretty insane what you have to do. I think artists need to branch out and learn more technical skills and form new studios. Spend some time on the side and pick up programming or animation instead of trying to make a model 0.1% better to have a chance of out-competing fellow artists who are also doing the same thing.… -
Re: Out-sourcing and game art development. The Future?
outsourcing IS already happening and it's already suited to face the trend. We have 8 of the 10 major US publishers as clients working on AAA titles most people here have probably played. If you work for a big US publisher, your company might just be one of our clients :) People either outsource because it's cheaper, or…
