Re: First post - Need Feedback on portfolio
Ok first off, scrap that website. Use Polycount's great folio guide/wiki: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Portfolio I personally would suggest using ArtStation from here forward. Regarding your work, it looks like your modeling skills are headed towards the right place. I will be 100% honest, none of your work is AAA… -
Re: Getting Confused with Normal Mapping [Solved]
"I make sure there are separate smoothing groups assigned to each UV island" You absolutely do not need to do that, at all. Some people do it because their assets or art style just happens to be visually compatible with this brute force approach, but this is absolutely not a necessary condition. By doing so, you simply run… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
"It seems like a great alternative" Well, except in many cases it just isn't, even if it was implemented in games. It goes back to the whole topic of this thread : the holy grail search for optimisation and magic buttons sure has value, but it blinds people to the practices that actually make game art lightweight,… -

Re: Velan studios saga
Many studios also consider other factors (such as DEI) that impact their budget and allow for more flexibility in accomodating candidates regardless of their skill. Well, honestly you don't have to worry *at all* about that kind of stuff. First because it contributes to the unhealthy theorizing that doesn't help you… -
Re: Job Search Question
applying to studios handles the same criteria really as applying to any job. Sometimes you have to hand out 1000 resumes/applications, to get 2 call backs. Job hunting will always be frustrating. But if you love what you do, keep practicing! constantly check studio websites and apply apply apply. if you don't hear… -
Re: Fusion 360 in a Game Art Pipeline?
Actually ... for the sake of clarity I should probably provide a practical example. I personally don't do much modeling anymore, but here's a hardsurface facemask / helmet I did a few years ago. It is fanart, meaning that it has to stick very closely to the source material ; but said source material mostly consists of… -
Re: Mutant Big'en Concept Piece - New artist, first project - Zbrush.
Ha Great news, I was actually re-reading through this and had thought i might have given you an answer that wouldn't have helped, glad to see it worked out. TLDR : TLCR = Can't read. I would much rather you went to youtube to look up a proper guide with video that would help much more than reading all this. Also I don't… -
Re: My 3D model was used for KICKSTARTER campaign video. (need advice)
@TeriyakiStyle Feasibility aside, if Zac's link to the license type is correct for the OP's thingverse model, there is zero legal gray area here. In practical terms this means that if you upload a 3D model to a model printing database site, and flag it for non-commercial use, it's fine for someone to print your design for… -
Re: Setting my goals
I haven't seen your post before, my friend. First thing to say is no, you're not old, you're a kid. I'm much older than you, and I have many doubts yet. I work at a newspaper here in Brazil, and although I enjoy what I do there (design and illustration), I have the need too to work with game art. Is it a hard thing to…
