A show reel for an environment artist? Normally you only need moving pics if you have something like FX or animation. Why not make your header go back to your home page, it's big and it doesn't take you anywhere? The miss-mash of fonts are a bit confusing. Also their prominence tells me you think they are important but its…
Commute I think ryno hit it right on the head, where you work should be where you buy. I have lived in Bothell on and off for 20+ years. I love the area, it is where I work and live. Since most of my hobbies involve a keyboard and mouse I don't really care about night-life or things to do. If I really want to do something…
The world is always ending for someone. Here is a list of people that have failed to schedule the end of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events When people don't understand something they tend to fear it and think worst case scenario. It helped keep us safe when we where…
Thank you for the Suggestion! I think I misunderstood the first Post, I thought it would be best to do one small Piece at a Time before going over to the next. But for now I will go with the workflow you´ve suggested. But I think I will leave out Mudbox for now, there is still a whole lot for me to learn in Max, Baking…
Hi there! We are Matthias and Oliver from "Project Paranoia". That is the working title of our current project: A Point & Click adventure in classical "LucasArts" / "Thimbleweed-Park" style. Currently, we're looking for people who want to collaborate and to supply graphics (pixelart). What is "Project Paranoia" about?…
Its up to you, but reading through it I would make a high bet against you making it in the game industry. Its not about you not being able to learn it, its about betting on all the other people that are dedicated to the profession and the limited amount of jobs there are. To me the 10.000-hour rule is less about the amount…
"Does have anything remotely close to Biped/Character Studio? If not are there rigging tools available like PuppetShop, CAT or CrypticAR?" Something like The Setup Machine blows away Biped or Cryptic. There are a number of excellent and proven low-cost or free rigs for Maya that blow away almost anything Max has to offer…
[ QUOTE ] I've been told numerous times when I've shown art teachers concept sketches of monsters, and non-human characters that the proportions are off and should be changed. Well...they are off because I made them off, on purpose, because its part of the character. [/ QUOTE ] Two items with this. the first one is that…
I found a really good post and comment on reddit.com/r/gamedev that might help some people think about their time a little differently. Original Post -Full time employees, where do you find the time to work on your projects?- I'm going to pre-face this with: don't say, "I do it at work" or "get a job where you can get away…
Canti that sounds really rough. Definitely the extreme of what even I was thinking with this. Glad to hear you're turning the corner. I made a few edits based on what all of you were suggesting. I tried to take into account the entry level people and outside influences on art. C&C is again always great. ---- Artists are…
