Re: the future of 3d modeling/modelers
In my experience there will always be a need for good environment artists. To get a job as a character artist you need some serious skills and a lot of luck. Most studios already have some set character artists but the environment/prop artist teams are usually bigger thus having more spots available. Most art for triple-A… -

Re: Various weapons for Fallout: New Vegas
cool weapons!! most def going to download this. anyways, unless everyone knows the situation the artist were put in who created the weapons, I wouldn't jump so quick to call them shit. The art could have been outsourced... having experience with outsourced art, it can be a pain to try and "fix" errors and still keep up… -
Re: I Love Live Chat Support!
outsourced to India. Seems like they have to save money...unlike Blizz where they even have native speakers waiting at their hotlines if you're from France or Germany. Then again Origin doesn't even process payments themselves, they outsourced that too. So if you have a payment problem... well, take it to that sh** payment… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
Are there numbers showing less job opportunities despite games being more popular than ever? It seems like I see studios ramping up all over the place. Outsourcing can only handle so much, I know people like to use that as the boogeyman but you can't replace your entire art team with outsourcing. I work across the street… -
Re: Yet more Sony layoffs!
Being a CG orientated forum, I see this comparison a lot. I'd like to remind people that most of these games studios that we're hearing about are not an outsourcer like VFX companies; they are usually internal studios within a larger entity. This is an important distinction in that whilst an outsourcer must work on a… -
Re: 5 reasons why the (AAA) game industry is about to crash
This is a good point. I do not believe the industry is crashing, however there are just waves of people that learn how destructive the system is. I actually think development will become further removed. I think outsourcing will become a bigger thing, much like FX is done for movies. Outsourcing studios will place bids for… -
Re: Overseas? To go or not
that's exactly the problem. Given that VN is much cheaper than China that won't be a lot. You'll return home poor. Maybe you make 400 usd a month, but I heard of people who make less. As a teacher, if you hire on with a university, you'll get a room and food for free though and a legit work permit and you get some cash… -
Re: Is it neccessary to finish uni/collage to be hired as a game artist?
You being from Russia college might be a way to get easier a visa. On the other hand Russia has now several well known outsourcing studios which are great to enter the industry. So I would say it depends on if you want to stay in Russia (chance being to get some well pay outsourcing work) or if you want to move to the EU… -
Re: AI Usage in Indie Games
I'd say it's not worth it to use LLM's for the vast majority of current use cases across *all* of the possible uses of AI. The main reason boils down to it being a short term "gain" for long term loss. When you use gen ai you are outsourcing thinking to it (for example you use it to generate concept art, the questions of…
