Re: Expectations of environment artists
The job requirements are not always a strict list, where you must match each specific item. Of course, the closer you are, the higher your chances of being hired. It is extremely rare for a studio to find the "perfect" candidate, someone who matches all the items on their wishlist. Which is exactly what every job… -
Re: My Portfolio for Future Job
Not a whole lot to comment on yet. The layout is very odd, with the menu buttons essentially at the bottom and huge. I'd recommend going to a conventional layout, with a menu at the top with links to portfolio & resume and thumbnail links to the projects. I'd ditch the "Coming Soon" announcements entirely; it makes the… -
Re: Looking for critique on my portfolio
Hey. I'm not working in the industry yet, so take my comments as they are. Are the environments rendered in an engine or is this all VRay/Mental Ray? If it isn't an engine like Unreal then you may have a tough time landing a job as an enviro artist with no engine experience. The props within the environments have really… -
Re: Why realistic graphics matters to games
I have to agree with @Stinger88 . A very limited amount of my favourite games, that I keep going back to, have realistic graphics. Most of the time I find that the realistic graphics pull me out of the gameplay, and more pull me towards appreciating the beauty of the game. However just because a game is realistic doesn't… -
Re: How important are HP models to you in a portfolio?
For a production asset, do not waste time making pretty scenes and rendering shit, unless there is another use for it(promotional material, or portfolio material that has been OK'd but even this is best done off of work time). Final result is all that matters here, i cringe whenever i see someone post a WIP model on… -
Re: The Official "Flaagan's Taking A Road Trip" Thread
wooo boy... so the current word on the vette is the #7 and 8 cylinders *might* have a blown out gasket... I'm not really believing it cause the car's never shown any symptoms to suggest it. Currently waiting to hear back from the dealership in the morning regarding how precise the test they want to charge me nearly $300… -
Re: Lou´s Tavern (from Fight Club)
Nice suggestions so far, keep em coming guys =) @vj_box: Agreed. I have decals on my to-do list. @DaarK: I have that game and despite it being so bad the environment art in it amazing for a PS2 title. The bar in the game is slightly different from the bar in the movie though, but it serves as great inspiration specially… -
Re: Helipack Girl!
Ninjas - Thanks. I will be doing three LODs, the body is currently low res, the head and neck area is in the medium at the moment and I've already finished the high version of rotors, although I will to have optimize it as most of you have pointed out. Bunnies - I will be posting updates during this week and beyond as my… -
Re: Laws against cell phone usage in cars.
Personally I would welcome the law if it ever did pass. People can rant and rave about personal freedoms all they want, they won't be so bitchy when their yakking away distracts them enough to ram into something or someone. There's already a law here about no use of headphones while driving, I've known people who've gotten… -
Re: Depression Era Carnival Trailer
What a lovely texture you got going on this sweet trailer ! I really like the different color values you got going on the red side of things, which makes it really interesting to look at - what could potentially be a totally boring repetetive plane. Great job on that ! What kinda caught me off-guard was the line where you…
