Re: Sculpted Bakes & Optimized Rock Wall
I have found in mudbox I am having some issues with multiple objects in the same scene, when subdivided and sculpted I find the software becomes very slow, despite having the same number of polygon's. + I don't think ZBrush is an autodesk software so I cant get a student version which is a shame as I am finding mudbox very… -
Re: 40k style portraits and illustrations
So my old university profs invited me to give a talk on digital rendering to current students, and the tradition for this sort of thing is for the speaker to design their own poster. I went through about some different ideas before settling on this design, which is partially composed of pieces from this thread. There's… -
Re: What the deal with water?
There aren't many good shaders because most game engines have their own water tech built in like unreal does. I made a water shader for maya that took me a week just to get the fresnel effect working properly. http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad330/evand89/water.jpg also, im a noob and a student so its still not that… -
Re: Milkshake_Machine_WIP
I agree! Bowplane is one of the poor souls in my class, and I really try to pressure students to stay away from the dumpsters, fire hydrants, and mailboxes when choosing projects. Nothing worse in my opinion than cluttering your portfolio with the same generic nonsense that employers have to sift through when looking at a… -
Re: I am kind of panicking. Unpaid internship from AAA
In some cases this is through a partnership between studio's and a game development school for students, so this has some legitamacy though I think the practice degrades quality over the long term. But yes several studios hire graduates for probationary periods that may pay next to nothing. Many of these studios are… -
Re: New job, new city: house share or not?
for a start you could just make sure that the house/flatmates are professionals with a similar rythm as you'll have one. moving into a place with a lot of fluctuation and partying students is probably a pretty bad idea. also, don't move close to the pubs if you value your sleep. having people break up relationships in your… -
Re: 2 lowbie questions about 3d modeling.
@DRoss3d beat me to it, but yes: it can be very helpful when modeling (and selecting). It's aggravating how often this terrible advice gets given to beginners and students. @CrimDa The amount of software that doesn't support Ngons has to be pretty minimal at this point, right? I mean, unless you model in Wings3D. And as… -
Re: the tools of the texture/shader artist trade
my experience at a design school over 10 years ago was pretty disappointing. i have nothing but student loan debt and a useless degree to show for it. i've been trying to sharpen up whenever i could but haven't been able to make much progress... but i'm not bitter! :) anywhoo... can you recommend some Digital Tutors/Eat3d… -
Re: Ethics Be Damned! - Year 3 University Project.
Haha I'm no expert either so take my help with a grain of salt. The brow seems ok, is this a portfolio piece? Even if you aren't animating it, if you are showing it to potential employers they will probably want to see that you can make a head with proper topology so it can be properly animated with no problems later on in…
