i think your at a point where as a student, you must keep making assets and environments until you get hired, good luck! you should also take into account what's in the job market right now, who's hiring in your area or if your willing to relocate, what skillsets/style are they looking for, etc. i saw many student friends…
Well compared to single items, sets are still way more accepted (wards not so much). Couriers on their side have the unlucky feature of being a lot less visible in-game, considering that till a couple a patches ago, the only courier shown in-game was the one owned by who bought it. So in general as a cosmetic is a lot less…
Yeh, vcool, those are some good tuts. Something I have been learning recently is the importance of a good well planned texture. Check out these textures by Casey Burpee on his flickr page , an artist who worked on Condemned 1 and 2. I loved the style of the games, and alot of it can be attributed to the texture work. Note…
Edu stuff goes in Education & Careers. But yes, you should know that most people regard surveys as being spammy. Responding to someone's survey feels like tossing candy into a bottomless pit. That's why companies always try to give the survey respondents some sort of reward in return for their time, like being entered into…
The short answer is that if you want to be an environment artist and not simply a prop modeler you will want to demonstrate that you can actually put together a scene and light it. Really, as long as you've already got some amazing looking props, why not just go the extra bit and put together a little scene using what…
Macs (maybe just airs) produce a crazy amount of heat STREAMING ONLINE VIDEO AND PLAYING GAMES, never mind running another whole OS! :D An amount of heat that I would describe as slightly burning, especially with games. I think that's why laptops are now called notebooks. A big fan sits under my mac air . Surely we won't…
Lamont while I agree with everything you said someone who has code that says Needs to learn to program. That if statement lacks curly braces, so it's only gonna grab the next line which means it's going to suck up the variable declaration. Now, depending upon your language that may just be an assignment but either way when…
Thanks Saso, I shorted up the wing a bit! Had a bit of a Doctor Who marathon so I had a bit of a lazy day. No spec on the engines(doing that tomorrow!!!) but I got it to look like space. My first though was, how is it lit up in space? Then it popped in my head no one at bioware thought of it so why rack my brain over…
Great ideas are a dime a dozen, but the ability to successfully execute them is priceless. Being able to finish what you start is a skill that can be improved through practice, just like any other. This is why it's such great advice to start with very small projects and work your way up... it will help you keep your…
It'd be interesting to hear if this guy comment on why he made it. All of what is mentioned in the video is pretty true but like with all these simpletext-voiced dialogue videos lately, it is all about negativity, and he didn't include the redeeming values of working in a team of awesome coworkers, the rewarding feeling…
