Re: "Just keep doing what you're doing!"
I would say that you are simply fighting a numbers game. Blizzard probably has the most overflowing HR inbox of any company out there. Everyone and their grandmother wants to work there. It's like being a fantastic singer and lining up with thousands of other fantastic singers to become the next American Idol. Your work is… -
Re: Portfolio feedback please for entry level to mid level modeler/texturer
You are on the right track but what you have now isn't going to land you at Blizzard to be honest. Especially if you want to work on their cinematic team, you will definitely need more experience and a much higher level portfolio. I would say start smaller and look at their games and style more and try to match it. JordanN… -
Re: What is your goal? Career-wise.
My first goal was to break into the industry. I had the chance and landed a job at Blizzard doing customer support. From there I worked up the company ranks to where I currently am. Blizzard is a very comfy company to work for. I am not sure as to if I will stay here until they give me the boot, or explore other options at… -
Re: Favorite memories or experiences working in the industry
First E3 definitely. I met Rogue13 for the first time. I had no idea who he was, I just saw someone wearing a polycount t-shirt and I commented on his awesome shirt. Turns out it was r13 himself! We hopped in a stretch limo and went to a Gamespy party in Hollywood at the Key Club, which was pretty awesome. Then I met up… -
Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
It's not the ISP services that are the problem, it's the publisher servers that always cause issues. It wasn't Telstra (notoriously bad Aus ISP) that screwed up Sim City, it was EA. It wasn't (*USA ISP*) that screwed up the launch of Diablo 3, it was Blizzard. And Microsoft think they can handle online services better than… -
Re: [Portfolio] James Benson, Animator
Yo yo yo. Like I promised, I have been working on the cylops lifting the rock. I started completely from scratch and didn't just make it up as I went along this time! Here's the footage: [ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfGQ8EUXEI8[/ame] Again, like the rolling punch this is a first draft so there should be plenty of… -
Critique Requested! Making portfolio pieces to be an illustrator on the Hearthstone team
Sup! Right now, I'm tailoring my portfolio to apply as an illustrator at Blizzard. I'll be attending Blizzcon this year, and they have a portfolio review+recruitment booth, so up until that point, I'm working hard to make sure I have a kickass portfolio to present to them. So far, I have two pieces, and I would love some… -
Re: It begins.
praetus makes good points. I also like to think that any game that utterly dominates its competition for 7 years is rather astounding. I mean it is a game that has nearly outlived the entire console cycle. I don't think WoW will be declared dead for quite a long time. That being said, I have to agree with you too PatrickL,… -
Re: Dota 2 - Workshop Thread
No, they literally were based off the same hero from Dota 1. Dota 1 was a Warcraft III mod that used Blizzard's WC3 models. Stitches is an Undead Abomination http://classic.battle.net/war3/undead/units/abomination.shtml and in Dota 1 pudge used the same model http://www.playdota.com/heroes/butcher Other than that you might… -
Re: Horde Watchtower
I think you need to use fewer straight lines and subtle curves, you've lost most of the character of the original concept which was coming from the jagged edges everywhere. Some optimization: Personally I think you should just add more geometry (useful geometry, not edgeloops everywhere like you have). You're basing your…
