Re: Lack of direction and needing others' opinion
Your portfolio screams student in every way possible. 1. No clear direction - 2D, 3D, enviroment, props, characters all thrown together... 2. Unfinished pieces 3. High polys and unoptimized low polys 4. No piece that is really on a level with professional work 5. Works based on own concepts I know it sounds harsh, but… -
Re: PC Community Feedback: Petrol/Blood (and contests in general)
If you entered but didn't finish, what was the primary reason? How did you feel about the deadline? How did you feel about the scope of the contest? Too much work in too short of a deadline for the work required. I felt the scope was too broad. The theme was okay, but having to do a Full Character and an entire vehicle in… -
Re: Need some help for being hired
It's a competitive market. Don't judge your work against your past work. Don't judge it against your peers. Just it against the best in the industry right now. First, you are applying for enviro, character, or something else? Whatever job you are applying for, strip out the stuff that isn't directly related to that. It's… -
Re: What do colleges teach for CG?
Hey, I teach a Photoshop class for the Game Art and Design program at VanArts. I also graduated from the program 3 years ago. I'll give you the most honest feedback I can (regarding VanArts). It's a one year full time program (30 hours of week of classes). Each term is 3 months and there are 4 terms in the year. Term 1 is… -
Re: I'm either going to cry, break something (possibly part of my own body), or go insane
Hey creation, sorry about demotivating, if any of that can be attributed to me. To make you feel better: I get that too, you know. Just now, I did some attempts at creating an environment for my hotrod. It just went nowhere, felt like horrible bland empty landscapes and I couldn't really get an idea on where to start and… -
Re: crit me - lurker portfolio
i'm with kp. i find the portfolio somewhat mixed in its presentation of strengths. it's often said that a portfolio is judged on its weakest piece, which is true, but what is also true is that each piece has to represent a necessarily larger portion of your body of work. to wit: if you have only a single character model in… -
Re: Art-Machine's RPG Weapons Thread
Thanks guys, glad you like that last one. You're right they are wimpy, let me explain why : The 3 arrows around the top i imagined to be from a more elvish kind of shooter, that shoot very accurately and so use very light arrows to penetrate gaps in armor etc. You'll notice the lower 2 are fatter and less elegant, I… -
Re: Californininia Moving questions
Granted fine we get the fact you plan to work at your artwork in the meantime. Buts its the uncertainty and variables of your plan that make no sense. Lets say you move to a part of California that has a few studios in your vicinity.Here are a few variables to consider. 1. Studios open and close,you could be in a part of… -
Re: Modeling or animating?
You'll have a wider net so to speak the more skills you have (especially if you go freelance/contractor route later on). But if you're just starting out, no experience and all, I recommend just trying to land a specialist position at first (character artist, enviro artist, or combat animator, creature animator, sfx, etc.).… -
Tile Helper Zbrush Plugin
Hello fellow Polycounters! I have been sitting on this plugin for a while and I finally got a break to clean it up for you guys. It didn't really fit in with my other plugin so I made it into it's own. Huge thanks to Marcus on the ZBC forums for getting me unstuck a few times. This plugin is basically a very basic array…
