Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
Yeah, the crazy thing is if you include the cost of living for 4 years or so and how much interest you'll end up paying it could easily end up costing you more than double that 80k in the long run. :( -
Re: The Game Screenshot Thread
Agreed, it was really fun, and really started to wow me when it got to the more open environments. The ending was REALLY sudden, with no closure to any of the story at all, one of those endings that's right on a cliffhanger as if to say 'HA BITCH WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL'. -
Re: Does making 3d characters really pays off ?
But that's the problem, I really am not seeing AAA folio's of the quality that is stressed here correlating to the sort of people actually hired or the work actually being done in the studios. Like sure in some of the more specialized studios clearly they need that level of talent, but its not the only consideration. Like… -
Re: [ July Update] Our Ghosts of War
Hi Ben, Thanks for your interest. We've put our plans for photogrammetry on hold instead to hire a third coder to help contribute to the project. After we release the game on EA we plan to hire a company who has experience with photogrammetry to go out to the beaches of Normandy and photo capture all that for us. We… -
Re: John Ehresmann - Portfolio Critique/Feedback
John I'd echo what Nosslak said. Right now you aren't showing mastery of anything really. Just going through the motions. I would focus on the art itself and telling a story through the environment. I see too many Artists just focusing on the asset/environment creation and not enough Artists focusing on the story and… -
Re: Ant-Man
I think that anybody expecting it to be the next "Guardians of the Galaxy" might be disappointed. Don't get me wrong. "Ant-Man" is a pretty great movie. It's very funny and has some good action pieces. It's just different than "Guardians." The scale of the story is smaller and more intimate. Being focused mainly on two or… -
Re: A gameart desktop
SLI/Crossfire is almost always a bad choice: -expensive -driver issues -micro lags in games -powerconsumption -heat I also wouldnt recommend buying a high end card for 400 bucks or more. I think the most reasonable choice is something from the higher midbudget, for example the Radeon 7870 which costs around 200€. If you… -
Re: Does age matter working at game company?
As long as you have the skills and drive then age shouldn't matter. Although saying that 4/5 years ago I was at the opposite end of the spectrum to you and even though I already had 2+ years of experience working at a AAA company, I found that potential employers focused on my being young as a negative (to the extent that… -
Re: Feathered T-Rex
I appreciate that. As far as the displacement map, I worked a while finding resources from scans already available to find what would look best. And for the most part I did use off the shelf solutions from surface mimic , however for the main body of the scales I struggled to find any that I really liked so I ended up… -
Re: Cintiq 24HD
Cintiqs are weird beasts - there are a lot of misconceptions about them, and overall the device can only be judged after at least a two weeks run. I have seen artists dismissing them totally only to go back to them later, others totally embracing them but giving up on them after 2 years of use ... in the end one really has…
