I'll probably blab some ****Spoilers This movie was Indiana in every way. To the point that they just swapped out elements of the old movies and replaced them with new ones. Like the map on the floor, which leads to a tomb, which bad guys show up....tons of recreations from old movies. Take out Hitler and replace with…
Hi, My name is Valentin Nadolu and I'm a 3d artist with 12 years of experience in AAA games and other real-time type projects. I've worked for 10 years at AMC pixel factory in Bucharest starting as a 3d Vehicle Artist, then Lead 3d Vehicle Artist and even as Project Manager for a while. After that I've worked for INDG in…
Pardon the mostly copy / paste but I think it pretty much applies to your situation perfectly- If you are applying to AA-AAA studios, your work needs to be at a higher standard. I recommend hopping on to Artstation and start searching for recently hired junior artists. Examine their portfolio's to see what the bar is and…
So.. I have build a simple scene to test lighting.. and after a few days I can say I still don't understand it. I have read a saw dozens of articles and videos about lighting but not a single one answered all my questions. (fully static lighting) So first I create directional light with some bounces. Then I add atmospheric…
Thanks for everyone who helped place notes! They were really helpful! Here is how far I got with this piece! Any critique's is always appreciated! But I don't see coming back to work on these piece for a little while. As I only have 1 computer and waiting for renders while doing nothing is insanely boring ha . . ha-ha…
Receiver is an interesting case -- a lot of what I did for that game is an example of non-art type stuff. Low detail props shamelessly ripped off from Ikea for example, or the guns just being common guns that people seem to like. I think that helps the robots stand out. I did do some simple concepting work on the robots.…
The problem as many put it is simply the change from the "glory" days of Steam to the current market condition. In the old days (Circa 2012) a FAILURE game on Steam would net the developer 30k. Seriously, the WORST selling games would still make 30k. This was because the supply was limited by Valve's ability to review…
I suppose point of reference plays a huge role in perceptions? I have horrible nagging willys running down my spine drawing digitally. Like I am reinforcing bad "timid" "sketch-centric" habits not conducive to broad deliberate gestural/expressive strokes. ( painting anemically with ones wrists instead of one's elbow…
Why dual Xeon? Boxx is excessively expensive. If you wanted to build your own you could get these specs for about $4030. 2x 8-core i7 3.0GHz (16 core or 32 threads) 32GB of Ram GTX 980 (or you could get a Titan or Quadro) 256GB SSD and 3TB HDD CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X x2 $2,100…
A video game character is fluff in terms of equality for women. It's a fictional character in a fictional story based on an era when women ACTUALLY were heavily objectified. Designers will stop designing those characters when those character designs stop selling. Men are also just as objectified as women in video games.…
