Re: Stay away from G.T.A., listen...to what I say
I participated in a lockout about the school cuts that were made in the US about a year back. Everyone accused us of being unfocused and hurting other students then, but you have to find some way to getting your message out there. Right now a very small percentage of the people are violent compared the amount of peaceful… -
Re: What are you working on Animators? 2018!
@olops98 Hi, I personally recommend getting a free student version of Autodesk Maya or 3ds max to learn on, as that will probably be the software you use when you get hired at a company. That being said, this is the animation forum, you would probably get better responses if you asked in the 3D Modeling forum linked here.… -
Re: Render to Texture Error in 3DS Max
@Eric Chadwick - Yeah, I'm sorry, I should have just cropped out the error window. Those are strange characters in the error. Upside down ? and a !. It could be a language issue, there are international students using my machine from time to time, but I don't get why it would work and then not work in the same session.… -
Re: [Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Jason Chisolm
Reply by Jchisolm · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - VFXAww thanks so much! I had to take some time away to work on my Blizzard Student Contest entry but I'm going to comeback to this and work on it today! The note about missile height variation is really something I've been meaning to address, I for sure want to get a bit more life in them and make them less the same. I've… -
Re: Becoming Character Artist... Kinda
Zbrush alone will not get you a job, the number of portfolios I see where there are artists who want to make art for production but only have zbrush sculpts is staggering. There are very few Zbrush only positions. Something I also recommend for students is to also have a target for where you want to go. While there is some… -
Re: Amir's Portfolio environments
Yeah, but you can't exactly get a free extended student or learner's license of Zbrush as easily as you can most Autodesk applications (at least not that I'm aware). If anything, these tutorials have introduced me to voxel modeling, which is fascinating, and I really want to give 3dcoat a try. I know zbrush does voxel… -
Re: Asking for help - Portfolio Advice
Hey Kawon, Im a current student atm soon to graduate but from experience ive noticed one thing in 3D. This one thing that helped me alot was traditional work like sketches, clay sculptures, paintings, etc. I found out that the more i did this and got better, the better i became at 3D work like zbrush and handpainted… -
Re: Mike Capps, Epic Games President, Retires
http://www.develop-online.net/news/42132/Epic-launches-Make-Something-Unreal-Live-2013 It's a separate contest open only to students in Europe. I would've joined if I had any long term plans of working in the industry and were insane enough to consider competing on top of university work. I don't know if they're funding a… -
Re: texturing in the early 2000's - how did you do it?
During the texturing course I taught, there were a number of students that had never touched Photoshop and had started in Substance Painter. The art of efficient UVs and squaring UV shells for easier painting are a thing of the past. I remember doing a lot of squaring for hand painted stuff just to make it easier and to… -
Re: What to strat from?
I'm not going to say there's a "best" beginner application, but I started with Max and branched out from there. If you're just starting to learn the programs, then I would recommend either Max or Maya (I'm biased towards Max for general asset design). They both have free student versions and are, in my opinion, less…
