Re: Do you freelance or work at a studio?
I'm currently freelancing. I fell into it after job hunting for 6 months. It's worked out well for the most part-I work from home, I make decent money, and I don't commute. I can work out when I want and set my own schedule (deciding if early morning is best or not currently). I did only recently start getting game work… -
Re: Any 3dsMax Shader Download Site Available?
It really depends if you want to do the effect in real time, in an engine or if you just want the effect in a few renders. Realtime rendering: Remi/Seforin had some interesting discussions going a while back about this. Notice that a tutorial written by Neox also gets posted too, some great info in there also.… -
Re: White House Says Trump Will Meet With 'Members Of The Video Game Industry' Next Week
Don't most other countries media outlets not name the shooter and put the shooter's name on a plaque in the golden hall of honor? Our media has turned this sort of thing into a game of one upsmanship. Seems like that has to play a lot into this as well. For anything like Australia and the UK to work here in the US, it… -
Re: Website creation Help
Also consider what you want the website to do. I spent a lot of time, about 6.5 months, producing my portfolio page. A very significant chunk of this time was learning enough PHP, CSS, HTML, Javascript, Apache, etc. to make the site how I wanted it. Another portion of that time was hunting down information so I could learn… -
Re: Importance of a degree in the gaming industry?
Finish it - dropping out is just throwing away what you already accomplished. Afterwards you have at least a degree. It will probably be of no use when hunting for a job. But do some long term planning: if you ever, for whatever reason, want an advanced degree because your job pushes you in a certain direction or if you… -
Re: The Warden - My Blizzfest entry
It's very little along her arms and I think back of the knees (which seems more like an issue with how the armor is shown on the nightelf base)? I'll have to hunt her down, but they are wearing full body plate for the most part. If you look at the 2nd one, you see bare arms. It's mostly because half the armor is re-used… -
Re: Oblivion xbox360
my thoughts.... speedtree seems like a great program for games like Oblivion, anything on unreal 3 engine, or whatever next-gen engine. If a company finds it easier to buy a piece of software that takes 1 click to make a tree and 6 more clicks to make it different from the other clicks, if it saves them time and money, it… -
Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
Having to deal with the realities of being an artist isn't necessarily a total bummer, Rorschach. Artists have always had "whore out" their skills or do day jobs, and it's possible to enjoy the day job to some extent. 5000 years ago artists had to do hunting and gathering like everyone else, in addition to making art. 500… -
Re: Allewway Project
Night scenes in 3D can be tricky, because it typically doesn't work to have a game or film behave the way it would in real life, instead of looking at realistic lighting (still good to use for reference; but make a decision for your jumping off point); look at other games with night scenes, and Hollywood sets from… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
If this career is important enough to you, you will find a way to make it work. Be it tuning your portfolio towards the company's around Seattle or just manning up, telling your wife, hey I got this bitchen job offer in place X and were moving there. No real to be unhappy your whole life/unemployed/scrape by due to…
