Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
he's exactly right though... if i do a search on threads started by you, the earliest one that comes up is 4 months ago. there are 18 threads, of which one links to your portfolio, and one links to a piece you want to salvage for your portfolio. then it seems to be an even split between help threads (good thing) and… -
Re: Next gen Scene Ideas/help
Shouldn't this be in P&P since its kind of a WIP thread? Anywho awesome idea combining Enviro art with Character art. It fits into the less clicks portfolio approach. You said you wanted the focal point to be the characters so I think the "stage" should be well done, but nothing too flashy. I would go for a dirty… -
Re: Krome australia layoffs.
LOOM? I thought he moved on from Krome a couple of years ago. Yeah I heard rumblings from friends yesterday...just concerns really. They heard there was a crisis meeting and that there would be the possibility of layoffs come monday. Then this happened. Not surprising, most guys didn't think that Krome would make it to… -
Re: A desperate call for help
Ok, I apologize if I sounded obnoxious or insensitive before, but I was just trying to make a realistic assessment of his situation. Times is very rough, and the dude needs to be open minded about his options. Here's some more sites to look at: http://www.indeed.com/ - I think somebody posted this already… -
Re: Sketchbook: illybang
You don't need to shrink the model just the texture. It might help to zoom out, but don't scale the model. Mip Maps are small samples of your texture compressed so the engine doesn't have to use the full texture if not that close to the object. If you're 100ft from the model it uses a 32x32 as you get closer it ratchets up… -
[Portfolio] Alex Underhill, Environment Artist
I apologise for the very lengthy post, I've got a lot on my mind about it. [only tested in firefox so far] was wondering if I could get some feedback on my portfolio design before I go ahead and finish it. I'm more interested in design crits for the folio, btw. Please bare in mind I've not (but will) put any construction… -
Re: Autodesk Maya opinions - Environment Art
I have one external script for detaching faces, it auto clear history so I don't have to do it manually. Oh I complained about construction history in Maya since day one I started working on it ;) And pie menus are my thing. I always call marking menus pie menus because it sounds better for me, it is just better name. So I… -
Re: The Trap of Entitlement
I would add, laser focus your portfolio to the studios you want to work at. Make it super easy for them to hold your work up next to their games and it should match, or better yet exceed the quality of their latest project. I see so many unfocused porfolios and no wonder they have a hard time getting a job. A seni… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Good work on the site. Easy to navigate and find everything. Even the light-box thumbnails didn't bother me that much. You could probably just post the reel video at the top of your gallery page instead of having two separate pages. Also, IMO for props and environment work I'd rather see a gallery of nice big stills than a… -
Re: Career Advice: Art or Management?
Wow thank you guys for all the responses! And of such varying opinions too. @Two Listen, RyanB, Striff Yes, my current route seems more secure to me as most of the good managers (PMs, DMs, DDs) are still around. But I have seen more than my fair share of talented artists getting let go all over the industry in favor of…
