Re: Do 3D weapons generally contain a bullet in their texture maps?
It remains an interesting discussion :) All valid points. But may i add that there is not always a senior artist around that will lead you? Not everybody works at AAA titles and in big teams. From my experience most aspiring game asset artists usually even starts their carreer with the small jobs and working with hobbyists… -
Re: In desperate need of help
what taylor said, your portfolio is super jack of all trades, and doesnt show mastery in any category. your environment work is not up to industry standard quality, and neither is your character work. Your material work is not super refined and EVERY material art student has a bricks, planks and rock material. those are… -
Re: I'm an artist who wants to make my own game, what should I do?
Hi crossroads 2020, Before you dive into programming, the big two, Unity and Unreal, have visual scripting available. In Unreal it is Blueprints. And for Unity a not this expensive addon exists. Playmaker. You can come pretty far with those two solutions without to write a single line of code. So the first decision that… -
Re: The beginnings of my portfolio
Curious as to what you plan on specializing in? Right now it seems you are really pushing for a 2D objective? But could be wrong. While it is good to have grounding in every sector of the arts, including traditional/2D as a 3D artist, but I think if you are simply just starting a portfolio out it might be best to just pump… -
Re: Torment hits 900K goal in 6 hours
As someone who backed Wasteland, i would whole heartedly back Torment, if I had as much of a nostalgia for that world/game. Having recently played it, from GOG. I can appreciate that it was a great game, im just not as attached to it. I'm super happy with my Wasteland buy though, the updates they've given are great, the… -
Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
I don't drink coffee and I don't smoke. If you are new at this stuff then I will give you some advice. No-one will ever hire some one that calls them an asshole. I will never hire you now and I hire for a very large company that makes AAA titles. Learn to be professional, this is a small industry and reputation means a… -
Re: The Influence of Art Direction
I take great umbrage at hand-waving off Doom's aesthetics as accidental or arbitrary. It takes little more than a comparison to Doom 3's murky visuals, a game that was built well into the current myopic forest of art direction, to see the vitality (and legibility) present in Doom by comparison. The Doom screenshot I see… -
Re: How long did it take before you got a industry job..
Really depends on how bad you want it, I have seen great artists go a year + after school and barely scrap up a decent job. Decent = a start up, just making it by. I have also seen artists that I thought were just middle of the line snag some awesome gigs that brought them to just ridiculous levels of awesome. Those middle… -
Re: We should not get paid for making games, it's art after all...
I just about gave up attempting to read through it at the exact same sentence, but powered on just to confirm how ridiculous the article was. Infuriating to read something like this, to be completely honest. I can see the points attempting to be made but at the end of the day, the games we make sometimes make a LOT of… -
Re: Indie/Unpaid/Royalty Jobs with the intention of making money?
One thing to consider is the typical indie developer is fairly broke while funding and coding the game by themselves. They need you as an artist to make their game look good but they probably can't afford AAA freelance rates. If an indie is asking for Max/Maya/XSI stuff then chances are they've got a some money to pay an…
