Re: Industry Work Experience while in Secondary Education?
Breaking into the games industry is a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg problem. You can't get work without experience. You can't get experience without work. The best I can suggest is that you build up a portfolio of small projects in something like UE4 or Unity, then re-approach the local studios with it so that they can see… -
Re: I want the experience of college but not the debt
Taking a semester or two at a local community college is also another option. You can continue your formal education at a reasonable price, and then practice 3d art on the side. Classes can often costs 1/10 of what they would be at a private or state university, and credits for common classes are transferable if you go on… -
Re: BLIZZARD Styled Environment Art WIP
Your highlights are all over the place. Try to localize them so the rendering makes sense on the texture. (Not on the top and bottom of scratches, edges, etc). The texture also lacks contrast. It feels very soft and flat. I would make the highlights brighter and the shadows darker. The gold needs brighter highlights.… -
Re: [CE3] WIP Secret Re-education Centre
Thanks for the feedback, people :) Thanks! I am indeed! I don't think the current version of Sandbox supports the local raytraced reflections they had in the Crysis 2 editor? That or it's a DX11 feature which I can't use because my PC's an old heap of junk. Still got a HD4870 in there. I'm still not settled with how the… -
Re: Dealing with an artist blcok
You just burnt yourself out honestly, nothing more. Take a couple of days off and play games, meet with friends, walk the dog, watch TV, workout outside, etc. and before you know, you will be itching to get back into making new stuff again. The only suggestion I have is to no engage in anything that requires some kind of… -
Re: UV Game - Weak: Maya, Planar Mapping, and Maintaining Proportion
Another quick way, one that I use pretty frequently, is to: 1.Planar project whatever side I'm working with. 2.Polygons->Unitize those faces. 3.Sew together what you want. 4.Polygons->Unfold option box. Local solver, set constraint to vertical. Apply. Set constraint to horizontal. Apply. The unitize makes sure that when… -
Re: Symmetry Change in zBrush
That should definitely be possible. From the pic you posted, it doesn't look like you have the handle as a seperate subtool. Now, I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but I would probably duplicate the subtool, hide everything except the duplicate's handle, go to Tool>geometry>modify topology>delete hidden and then go… -

Re: Portable Chapel
Looks really good cholden. If it's a medieval setting I'd suggest build in some hierarchy in the stones. It looks mainly feudal, but there's bound to be someone buried there who was a little more important than the others. You probably want to keep build both polycount and texture as low as possible, but I think you could… -
Re: Any good video game design schools in seattle?
A degree doesn't really mean much for the games industry. Art skills and technical aptitude do. Most tech schools are mediocre at teaching technical skills, and won't teach you anything about art. Fine arts classes + 1 or 2 intensive tech courses would probably serve you better in getting the skillset that will earn you a…
