Re: Understanding the Ideal Poly-Count.... help !
Just don't waste geometry. It's very typical of students to leave a bunch of useless loops in their mesh that are serving absolutely no purpose. Using too much geometry is really not that big of a deal most of the time (at least on a low poly that doesn't have UVs yet) because it is easy to simplify if you need to. What is… -
Re: Zombie Playground-Jason Chan-Kickstarter
Valve have been making short films for 5~ years now... Please help me out here man. And incase you want to be pedantic, short films are the sort of things animation students will put out from places like gobelins so by extension id consider that an acceptable means of experimenting with the craft of movie making. Find me a… -
Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
@jStins Thank you! Man, life can be brutal. I remember reading a line in the book Art and Fear as a student that permanently changed my whole mindset. It said essentially that the job of an artist wasn't really to make art per se, but it was to "learn to work on your work". Taking that life stuff as it comes but refusing… -
Re: Has anyone here who graduated/studying from AIE ?? Advice.. pls?
AIE has generally been fairly well respected in the past. I studied at their Canberra campus when I was getting started, but that was over 10 years ago, so my perspective may not be super relevant. There are a bunch of other decent options from other technical colleges (QANTM for example) as well as the universities. I… -
Re: Online Courses
I have taken a cgsociety course in the past and looking back the course material was not good at all. I'm actually currently in the Futurepoly class and it has been a great experience so far. The difference in course material is vast and the student teacher interaction is great. Really can recommend this to anyone. Also,… -
Re: Post up your Skyrim characters.
I forget the guys the name, but in Winterhold, in the Mages College, you can talk to the 'black market' guy, the one that is the Students loge. He has on average 2 Deadra Hearts every 3-6 days from what I could gauge. Also, Riften's Elixers shop also has a good chance of having more then one heart. Please note you can also… -
Re: Ludicrous - Indie Shooter - Looking for Lead and Environment Artists
We're still looking for artists. The response so far was really low. No one here, who has some hours spare time? Or are you all busy playing MW2, AC2 and L4D2 :\ Where are all the art students? This project won't fail, as it's already too far and too long in development. The last missing part is eye-candy art. Anyway, hope… -
Re: Advice on a drawing portfolio for Uni
May we see these life drawing pieces? You'd be surprised what you can learn from just drawings about how someone works. Getting strong foundational pieces done for your portfolio is a generally good aim. Figure drawing, life drawings, still lifes, etc. You probably will want to get specific from each program by reaching… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
Personally in regards to modeling I would recommend Modo, it can be argue but when it comes to modeling, it is really ahead of the competition atm. Keep in mind no tool is ever perfect, with that in mind Maya and 3ds Max are still critical and used widely in the industry. In the end, if you are under stress in deciding… -
Re: city
Anchang-Style, You're right. I am becoming a prop artist. That's where I am starting now. Here is a simple pillar I got from some moonscape. I don't know who the artist is, but I was drawn to the simplicity of the concept. I am working on it now. I do not know mudbox and I cannot afford Zbrush just yet; I am still a…
