First job: I got approached by someone from a local game studio through deviantArt (yes, I know). Artstation didn't exist at the time! Got an interview and art test, lading at a concept artist position. I don't recall ever applying to an concept art/illustrator position to be honest, even freelance commissions start with…
Well it's a very pretty work, regardless of the faults. It seems you learned a lot, so great success. About the scale and FPS though... I know you can definitely get that heavy foliage and have long views... I'm not a enviro guy so I don't know all the details of how -- I do know there is simply a limit to how far you can…
BACKSTORY: In a time long forgotten -much as he was about to be- a man hunted in a dark forest for any signs of life. Life he would snuff out in order to provide for his beautiful wife and little girl. A loud crack ricocheted through the dark trees. His snare had sprung, trapping a hare in its grasp. He stared mercilessly…
MP's right, I want incremental brush opacity set to the touch strip which is the same as setting it to a KB shortcut, but there's no way to do it. Now before you say "oh see they did bind it to keys" it doesn't work like [ ] for incremental brush size. The num keys will only adjust the opacity to a level not nudge it up or…
I'm jobless too (McDonald's didn't even give me an interview), so I could be wrong. But I'd recommend focusing on making your portfolio more effective. Nothing you put around the pictures is going to make them look better, so don't bother with any extra text or blog features or whatever. Focus on the work itself and put…
There's a fine line between smacking in the face with a design, like you would in a childs room and pulling it off tastefully in an adult setting. I admit when I read the title I thought, oh here come the cartoon propellers and plane tails sticking out of the wall... or maybe some kind of 1920's barn stormer/tinker…
Here's some advice. It's a bit gloomy: really nobody cares. Nobody cares a damn about you. Until they think you got something to offer them. Then all of a sudden they wanna be best friends. The human is a selfish animal, made worse by capatilism and made even worse still by overpopulation. It's not entirely true, because…
Thanks! Haha, I guess a lot of us are cutting it pretty close, then. :) I polished off both high poly for both today, which is great, though it turns out I probably need to edit the low poly for the Rider and redo the crab (which is fine tbh). But when I went to soften my normals in maya before baking, it smoothed every…
ususally what makes someone a senior is their decision making process making process based off of actual production experience. There is less going back to re-do work or figuring out how to make something, most of their time is spent working and outputting content at a high level. Having actual production experience vastly…
Must have missed this earlier...but: Well...you CAN guesstimate these colors...if accuracy is less important than style...and you keep it simple...and you're not making something toooo fitted to specific existing geometry...like, a two way tiling terrain texture, for example. With all that considered, guessing is pretty…
