Re: College Decision
Forget about school man. B) If I were you (I'm assuming you live in Ontario) I'd try to get into Ubisoft Toronto as an Apprentice. For people who already have a degree from anywhere in the world, there's also a paid graduate program at Ubi TO. http://toronto.ubisoft.com/students/ -
Re: Studding Anatomy
No, anatomy is going to be your central skill as a character artist of any kind. Starting with Andrew Loomis or George B Bridgman is probably a good idea -- other than that, just consume all of the information about anatomy and anatomy for the artist as you can. And take life drawing classes, if possible. -
Re: Tutorials, Guides and Resources for Dota2 Workshop
@slosh I am not an maya expert, but using directional light, or point light placed high above model should work for this. If not you can bake object space normal map and one of the channels will be representation of top-down lightning (don't remember which R, B or G ^^'). -
Re: Student Seeing Portfolio Review for 3D Artist Position in Games
I was curious as to why you were listing time spent on each asset. A) Just seems like unnecessary info. B) The time spent seems awfully short for each asset. I would imagine a portfolio piece would take way more than 5 hours. -
Re: Normal map to vertex normals?
Aha, so via the Paint Vertex Color Tool, we can apply a texture map as vertex colors, which can then be queried with "polyColorPerVertex -q -r -g -b", and written as normals via "polyNormalPerVertex -xyz". I'll try to write a script to write the colors to normals in the morning. -
Re: Piracy Facts
Hehe, the best part about this: A. Ninja's actually does make DRM free games. B. I've seen his massive pile of legitimate content creation software that he actually paid for. I hope you guys see the irony in going after him for being a "hypocrite". -

Re: Weekly Recap
That armor looks pretty impossible to be *in game* used. it's a grand design, but that's gotta hit at least a million or so if at the least 700,000 polys. its bump mapping is what tricks the eye into thinking its high def that way you can make low poly model look b@a. -
Re: Do any of you guys create 3D purely as a hobby or do work outside of games?
My main job is that i run a network security company, I do 3d/art for fun and fun projects on the side. I don't think I could do it as a job a) because im no where good enough and b) I'd end up hating it i think.
