Working for peanuts, feel trapped.
Sorry for the long rant, but I need some situational career advice. Long story short, I started learning 3D art full-time 2.5 years ago, compiled a decent portfolio and felt ready so I moved across the country to Los Angeles in the Fall of last year to "chase the dream" and finally, after 3-4 months of non-stop job… -

I am confused as to what role fits me / what clients to target. Can you help?
Hello, guys! Hope you're all doing well in the new year. I'm facing some issues and confusion in the past 2-3 months, not knowing exactly where my place should be.

Re: "Affordable" 3D software

Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
This is intriguing to me. Being self-taught myself, I tend to have a negative reaction to schools offering such courses but I cannot out-right say that all schools are a waste of time & money. Even when I visited the local AI a few years ago to talk to students I couldn't help but feel it was just as much their fault for… -
Re: Anyone tried creating assets for ArmA 3?
alrighty. I decided to break out the "insane graph editing stuff" after all since nothing else was working. I created a control mesh which was basically a flattened cylinder but with the normals preserved (so a flat plane with a round normal surface) I baked normals on to this control mesh from a flat plane, so in max the… -
Re: portfolio critique needed!
Sure I was referring to the UVs of the latest character: Some borders seem almost aligned with the pixel raster, but not quite, many others seems more relaxed (didn't mark all islands in question, but hopefully it's clear. I find tube-like/ cylindrical shapes and strips are very fitting for this). Perhaps it comes across… -
Re: The Tao of Maya - How You Work Dem Nodes?
Maya is not without its heaping helping of bugs. Your experience will also depend largely on which version of Maya you are using. I find 2013 to be the most stable, least buggy version so far, although I haven't really given the newer versions much of a chance since the service packs have been added (though I am growing… -
