Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
Saying that this kind of thing happens at every studio doesn't make it right. I worked at a place where we were expected to work overtime like crazy. Their poor management and stubbornness affected the lives of the employees and really deteriorated the work quality and peoples moral. It was so bad, that i had to go in… -
Re: I need advice on a job offer
/rant here's my insight.... its embarassing, but ill say it anyways. I started at 22k. minimum wage, for an animation job. and believe me when i say, it down right sucks knowing you`re getting paid HALF what you should be making. I work for a really small studio so they just cant afford to pay me more. everyone starts at… -
Re: [WIP] Chick with afro in sci fi/low fi exoskeleton
Thats a great idea JGCount! As I said before I didn't know EXACTLY what you were going for but the fact that you said IM2 Whiplash's first suit really put it in perspective for me. So really like LRoy said you should just beef up the framework a bit. If you look at Whiplash's it was a network of metal across his back and… -
Re: Kotaku: Pissed Off Employees Bash Pretty Much Every Major Video Game Company
This industry is only for nomads and masochists :) . The kotaku article is not that bad and it reflects a REALITY (it may be not yours, so stay quiet and be thankful to god), give or take. The fact is that if someone still has his job... they won't say anything. You know, ignorance make happiness, and being humans, we will… -
Re: Lack of Environment Artists
wow necro-post. Let me first start by saying these are my personal opinions. I'd say that the shitty thing about environment artists is that like Kevin said in the OP, they act sort of as a beginners position into the industry. Nowadays environment work requires an extraordinary amount of detail, while maintaining the same… -
I just want to say thank you
This is looong overdo, but I would just want to say thank you to polycount and all the people that helped me on this forum in the past. I dont visit the site as often as I did when I was working at home with my portfolio, but I will always appreciate the comments and critique that made me a better artist today. I now work… -
Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
but they are not one piece, they are seperate metalpieces cast in, so it could be mostly a texturing task. that being said, if you want it one mesh and be able to subdivide, all you need is connecting those verts -
Re: Reflections on The Game Industry as a 3D Artist
My intention is not simply to criticize the game industry or to repeat the structural problems that all of us already know and struggle with. I don't want to be misunderstood. In fact, it is not even a sector that I am deeply involved in or closely follow.However, there is something I have noticed. More and more people… -
Re: Seven-Way Scuffle
completely agree with what you say zwebbie, just keep in mind that if you TRULY believe that game art should be more than what it is today then stand up for what you feel and start making art that you want to make. no one is forcing you to paint an ogre, or model an ak47, in fact there is no outline at all for creating… -
AO Mental Ray 3ds max Problem! Please Help!
Okay, this is the second time I have run into this problem and I have no clue what could be causing it. The only work around I have found is to not use mental ray all together. I read another post a while ago where EricChadwick and Vig were talking and thought the solution was there but I guess I was wrong because it…
