Re: What Game artist career is more difficult?
I wouldn't really say that anything is necessarily harder than others. I do believe that artists in general need to put a lot more hours into what they do to become great, but then again it's pretty much the same with every job. Some people are good with coding, some people have an eye/hands for art. Each job has it's own… -

I would offer PC'ers in Japan a spot on my couch but after reading about how the northwest is a powder keg… -
Re: Map Zone - procedural textures
Hand-painting textures is great. It's a skill that I very much wish I was more polished at. There is no real substitute for custom hand-painted textures. I'm not proposing that these programs be used as a substitute. I just think they are a great way to get really good-looking placeholder textures. If you need to get some… -
Re: [MEL Script] Batch FBX Exporter

The thing is, there seems to be a difficulty in communication between programmers with no art experience, and artist with no programming experience. There are programmers who… -

The issue I'm running into is the Maxon App. Without logging…
