What Tidal Blast said is solid advice, I recently watched this video which details the science behind mindful breathing exercises, It really makes sense when you think about it. I would recommend watching it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xc3XdOiGGIv Also check the "Wim Hof" method, This is a Dutch dude who can achieve…
We don't even know what the SFM can do as of now, what polycounts it can take, what the shaders are like, what the animation keys values are in terms of linear or not, etc. So comparing it to UDK is kinda pointless. Yes it is easier to use...from what we have seen from the video's...which can be hardly put on the same…
Thanks a ton again, Zakk, and for the compliments too! I've always admired character design and development, and growing up with movies/anime/games/books It's always inspired me to join the fray myself. I'm excited to get in the industry and maybe give someone else the same feeling I got while enjoying that kind of stuff.…
OK, I am going to re-iterate what some people have already said but here it goes. Pick animation, modeling or film making. I watched that nightmare clip and kept thinking what the hell does this have to do with animation and how is this showing off his abilities? Second find some quality characters or models to animate.…
Asorson Studios is not a corporation, and I do not aspire to become one. We are a very small collective of independant contract artists, just like everyone else posting here. We work together because no-one has the complete skillset to do everything alone. For example, I am a modeler and texture artist, but I cannot…
Awesome man, you are more than welcomed. It's always a pleasure seeing people more open minded to suggestions rather than sticking to "Da Shit".. I apprecaite it.. So like I said the human geomatry is pretty sick. You obviously know what you're doing. She's almost 8 heads tall which is little too much for me (and I'm 6"5…
Practise your speech with a live audience, just a few people will do. Practice at LEAST twice. This helps you identify wording problems, improve overal flow of the speach/speech and it will set the whole thing in your mind. Practising in front of a mirror will help you memorise the speech...doing it in front of a live…
Hey, wow I'm actually posting on this board for once instead of lurking. I just felt I should really emphasize how important "environment" artists are really becoming. I'm going to use myself for example, I got hired pretty randomly to an independent game / technology studio last September that was expanding. I wasn't…
[ QUOTE ] I don't really think of myself as an artist. Sure, I "create" for a living...but it's usually someone else's idea and for a pay cheque. I'd almost like to say that real "artists" have a totally different lifestyle than me (and I would assume most game artists), devoting their entire being to make something that…
whoa longass thread. heh some TLDR stuff, but i skimmed i agree with most of the stuff - the design is simple, but definately not ineffective. It could use more to show off the normalmaps, but a lot of the work ive seen of yours isn't really about that. when it comes to the texturing, you'd be surprised as to what you can…
