Re: Are 3D character artists less in demand than environment artists?
* mega post inbound :P * I never said you have to be at raf grassettis level to get a job or have a hope of getting a job, I said thats what top tier talent looks like, and the closer you can get your skills to that level the easier things become. A lot of artists work hits the "ok" bar of quality and they struggle while… -
Re: Battlefield 2 - Pre-order your's yet?
Mot Only did I play Battlefield 2 at E#, I won a Prize at the Nvidia Booth doing it: Here's the post from my E3 Report: [ QUOTE ] We then left Console land, and headed to the main hall (West Hall).

Re: High > low poly workflow (blend shapes) question
Outside of some very specific cases your sculpt will likely have zero relevance to the creation of the actual blendshapes. In other words, let go of your focus on the "pretty highpoly sculpt" and put all your attention on the lowpoly model, which is the *actual* asset at the end of the day. 99% of the time this is the… -
Re: Allewway Project
*Edit* I got mixed up in who-said-what and mistook some of the things Giggabitten posted, for posts from the artist of the scene we are all talking about. Sorry for any confusion.

Re: What online courses/3D atelier are recommended?
90% of tutorials are absolute garbage and I detest them! I lump tutorials into 1 of 3 categories. 1) Make it up as you go A.K.A "The Youtube" Usually created by a really intelligent guy who knows unfathomable amounts about a program.

Re: Why should we use Handplane ?
We are planing an SDK that will allow for implementation of custom tangent spaces. We are also very interested in adding support for more engines and frostbite would be something we would love to get working. Also, there is another major use case. Let's say your engine already looks good but not perfect with an existing… -
Re: [Don't Be gentle] Official pre-GDC folio critique thread.
Ok, I'll join the party. Shrike: The link to your portfolio proper is way too small; my first instinct was to scroll down to where the articles are. I very nearly completely missed it. It'd probably be best to have your portfolio be your main page, and have a link to your articles from there, or at least send a direct link… -
Re: Please, check out my portfolio 2008
Valkier: If your looking to going onto another (better) school, their are several that are actually worth the cost. Think Tank, Vancouver Film School, gnomon, and animationmentor.com (an online school if you want to do 3d animation) immediatly come to mind. Otherwise you could take such as (like suggested by Talon) join a… -
