Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
@JeremyJDickes I'd suggest online classes now. I dont know where your son is at technically, or artistically, but if money is the issue I would go with online classes. I've had good results with gnomon online (unfortunately they dont serve anyone outside of cali). And I"m currently having great success with the VFX course… -

Re: Am I doing something wrong? Others with little skill who have jobs in the industry
As well as connections, just applying to the right place at the right time is probably a big factor; blind luck. I won't name names, but plenty of games get released in which the entirety of the art is so bad it makes you question how anyone on the team got hired at a professional level. Maybe the studio was extremely… -
Re: I'm switching careers out of the game industry.
I feel there will be increasing need for 3D artists, however the popularity of game design courses means there is now a huge oversupply of these artists, which decreases wages.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight
A lot of the CG advantage is due to having enough time to render the 'real' thing and at a very high precision. Games need to fit into 30 or 60fps so they need to use approximations: normal mapped impostors instead of detailed meshes with displacement, shadow maps and lightmaps / light probes instead of raytraced shadows… -
Re: Why is it so hard to match the camera projection angle?
Nope, but if I understand it correctly it can be used like 3dsmax's CameraMatch. I would be surprised if Maya didn't have a way to match cameras on stills like max does especially given its wide spread use in VFX. If it doesn't, you could... I guess download the trial of max, run it through CameraMatch, then export the… -
