Needing Some Career Advice
Howdy! I'm new to the boards, checking out the various artists' websites on the net for some expert opinion. :) Essentially, I've come here to ask you more experienced artists if you could give me a little advice on career choice. I'm 24, and I've been doing a lot of research lately, trying to assess what I want to do, and… -
Re: Project Quality vs. Job Stability: What's your opinion?
My take on it is this... Job security isn't real. Even if it's considered a full time position, at any time you could be laid off. So if you`re sitting there asking yourself if you should take the 1 year contract, or go where you could be there for 10 years, just know that that 10 years could not even happen. You might not… -

Re: Level design nowadays...
The problem is that Level design is now dictated by the memory constraints the graphics team places on the engine and the engine's capability itself.

Re: Hypothetical Question - Importance of your job in your life
Well you see, that's tough for me. I was able to land a more than decent job right after graduating school at a military contracting company about 3 hours from where I was. Times have been tough, I lost a roommate and had to get a second job to keep my head above water while living on my own. Moving away for this job, I… -

Friday great, we saw each other my girlfriend and I, we have been having tough times, so we go see fireworks and have blast. Saturday, she is acting strange, Sunday… -
Mars Expedition Commander: Dr. Martin (would love critiques)
Latest character here. This was based on a concept drawing by the very talented Alexandra Hodgson (www.artstation.com/alexandrahodgson). Right away you might notice the discrepancy of his hair. I spent about 10 hours messing with hair cards and various shaders but I just wasn't able to get the right look for it. I'm pretty… -
Re: More dumb Zbrush questions!
Arsh's tut was pretty useful, but it didn't give me the stuff I need on the back end on the maya side. Plus I don't want to be spitting models back out of Zbrush and into Maya using the cage stuff. My model is rigged allready so I don't want to change it. I simply want to add micro detail in the form of a bump map. Pores,… -
Re: Convincing 3d that looks like 2d.... Wow

If you notice any just tell me (and if you don't have a Polycount account bug me on Shoryuken or SA or wherever else I may be, same nick). Secrets of anime-like 3D graphics, part 2 Opening statement: you can slap toon… -
