As I've said a million times over to anyone that's said to me that they cant wait to get a ps3.... "Next gen's already here, what the hell are you waiting for?".
Yes there is an option to refinance here. Though not all banks or other companies do that. It's exactly what i did after getting a better income. Could spend more but wanted to get rid of my loan and blacklisting (yeah you get blacklisten (sort of) called BKR registration here if you get a loan) faster. So yeah you can do…
Don't do it. You will get a better understanding of creating 3d art by buying some eat3d, gnomon, and 3dmotive tutorials opposed to what 90% of these game art "schools" will teach you. For the most part, they are there to take your money. There are some legit schools out there (the ones that are actually hard to get into).…
I am trying to get random directional gradients on my tiles so that every tile has a randomly picked gradient towards a certain axis. Using "pattern symmetry random" I can get 1 axis (front and back) but how do I get the other (sideways) gradient ? I thought I could use "pattern rotation random" for this as I saw someone…
Hi all, I have been applying for Character/General Modeling Artist job postings for the last six months. The only successes I had were from Taiwanese studios. However, due to visa restrictions, they can't offer me a job. As for applications to Western companies(mostly American), I have only received rejection latters and…
POlycount is a community, and to be in a community is to be relational. You are not going to get any comments if you are not in relation to other posters. I can keenly recall more personal details than I really care to about my "classmates" of polycount of 10 years ago--like cholden above me, a dude I have met in person,…
Hey there! Always exciting to meet people interested in getting into VFX, there aren't enough of us around! I started doing FX around 5 years ago, first just doing simple texture replacements, then working on a few Source engine mods after I got to know the particle editor. A few of the members of my mod teams moved over…
Hey guys and gals. I know there are a lot of people here who are eager to get into the game industry and I just wanted to give everyone a head's up about recent trends. Right now, there is a big demand for environmental artists. There are a lot studios advertising positions and from the indications I'm getting from people…
Hi guys, I'm programming an exporter and have run into a problem with getting the normals. For a box that's an editable mesh I have no problem getting the 8 vertices and the 12 faces (2 triangles for each side), I can't get the 12 * 3 = 36 normals though. Does anyone know how to do this? There is also something bugging me,…
I’m a designer at a prop fabrication shop here in Burbank, and I’m reaching out to this community specifically because we’re looking for a very particular kind of unicorn. We’ve posted on the usual IATSE union boards and haven't found the right fit yet. The reason I’m posting here is that we don't just need a 3D modeler;…
