Hello, I will not go over all the reasoning for the adoption of the "EA Sports-like" set of tools as some sort of exercise, or even as an admittedly useful shortcut to reduce some tedious aspects of model creation. That is because even though tech knowledge never hurts and can be indeed be very useful ... it is a moot…
I agree that ones eye for quality (specific and overall) really improves with each artwork, provided there is awareness to address what is lacking in older work which is then applied to newer work. I have hidden work I felt was not suitable, can't really come to destroy anything but I know colleages who did and regretted…
I didnt misinterpret, I took into account this part, "At that time there would be more logistical information to work with such as headcounts, budgets, project duration and internal restructuring to work with." These are more tangible than subjective speculation around how a candidates skills that aren't useful now may…
It's great to see potential in abilities that wont be used on the job being hired for, but wouldn't it be better just to hire a specialist when a task that requires it opens up? At that time there would be more logistical information to work with such as headcounts, budgets, project duration and internal restructuring to…
Well, I would say that the (somewhat inelegant) categorization is really just a summary of an applicant's skills, and there is nothing wrong with various people being at different points in their art career. But there's also nothing wrong with a job opening having some kind of skills expectations. Just because a job is…
Hi there, "I wasn't meaning to match the concept, atleast not exactly." I think everything hinges on that really. Of course when I use the term "lack of humility" I don't mean it as someone being toxic and pretentious, believing that they can do better than the source material ; I mean it more in the sense of, not having…
That's really all it is, Its why I felt that there needs to be more transparency in the hiring process and more awareness of what actually are the responsibilities and workflows within studios. And certainly its upto the candidate to do more research. This can become challenging many artists currently employed aren't…
Thanks for the recommendations! I will be making a more comprehensive case study with more comparison images once they are out of WIP and certainly be improving on the presentation so it has greater impact. The good thing about the workflow is that posing for presentation becomes a lot easier, I also have full range of…
Isn't it all very subjective though? I mean at some point we can all agree that some stick figures are not good art. But do you play games? I mean take a screenshot from any recent AAA games and we can easily nitpick a billion little things the same as we nitpick our own art or critique the work of people asking for it…
