Re: Physically based Bus (Unreal Engine 4)
Even a solid 5 hours is enough, if it's well spent. I never had a job during college, and I had a huge shock at my very first job, where I had to create stuff for 8 hours straight (with lunch break, of course). It was mind-blowing, because I did more sketches and things in that first day than stuff I had in my portfolio… -
Re: overseas labour - The Big Threat?
We've done a lot of oursourcing at 8monkey, virtually all of it being hero assets like characters, weapon models and concepts for example. We've used some very tallented, established pros for our work too. We do this for a number of reasons, it is really hard to find tallented people that are willing to work in iowa, and… -
Re: I apologize for all Americans.
To oxynary, in response to a private message, who blocked me and i chose to drag this out, elysium, this is what could be regarded as immature arguing on the internet. "Listen dipshit, A: Dont drag out old threads so you can add your two cents. Especially when you have nothing to add. Your own writing shows you know less… -
Re: motivation
i do several things to don't fall in procrastination and get motivated. Without not much success sometimes hehehe When you feel you haven't got "GAS" (or fuel to go on, call it like you want), i recommend to do a save of the 3d file and inmediately close the program and start another different task (nothing related with 3d… -
Re: Female Sith Character, Plus a Question
I agree with Rage, as far as femininity you've pretty much opted out on most of the common traits as far as humanity is concerned. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you could further push the envelope by making him male and keeping what feminine traits you do have. It would make him seem "off" based on what our societal… -
Re: Freelance Pricing?
never underestimate the importance of a good contract. Always have a written contract with very specific terms. The Graphics Artist Guild (GAG) publish a book yearly that has a ton of good advice and sample contracts, though be wary they are a bit greedy (so don't go getting your hopes up when they suggest you be making… -
Re: Portfolio Critique and Advice
Wow you have a lot of little projects all jumbled up together. It makes it kind of hard to find any particular thing. Maybe consolidating similar project into folders would help organize things. Like a folder just for animation, a folder for head sculpts, one for concept art, a folder for just the Matt Groening fan-art,… -
Re: Coach in 3D, wondering if it's good enough to be in industry
The assets decent, but more for a couple of days versus a month like the others have said if it were a production environment. The dark shadows/AO? are also detracting from the piece, getting a skylight if that's UE4 or doing a global illumination bake would help with that depending on the engine you're in. Time comes with… -
Re: Need Advice
I'll throw in my 2 cents. Your site. It starts on your biography, rather than your work. But you don't even have a reel. You just have 4, rather long, pieces, that you have to go through. The fourth just makes no sense, and if you`re going for animation, it shouldn't be on there. Especially since you swear in it. That… -
Re: Go indie or uni
If you are rich/very skilled or supported by an understanding family or all of the above then go indie, if not then go to uni and stay true to your indie ideas but while you are under the wings of education use every minute to learn as much as possible and grow your idea at the same time, i.e. adapt every possible brief…
