Re: How To Get Into the Industry
Very interesting. Thanks for the share. I am a bit on both sides on this argument. I never touched 3d until about 3 years ago. I was always drawing, sketching, doodling, painting, carving, sculpting, whatever... When I touched 3d for the first time though it was awesome. I dove into it with all I could and am still trying… -
Re: [Portfolio] Wiktor
Yeah absoloutely Disting, they do, but you set yourself up as an environment artist with your thread title and i was left wondering where the environments where. Im not saying i was dissapointed with the work you presented because it was good but i was expecting more environment stuff, at least a full environment with all… -
Re: I need some advice / portfolio review
Perhaps you could also consider work in prop/vehicle modeling for games/visualization since you have experience in that. The car render above is really good, would love to see more breakdowns. Another approach to character art would be instead of scrapping your current work, you could re do them, at the most one or two of… -
Re: Expertise and experience
I've often viewed this over the years as you unlock new areas the greater your skill increases. eg; Props (learn basic workflow, modelling,UVs,Normals) -> Env ( modular workflow, subD -> Zbrush -> more organic env) -> Vehicles/Weapons (advanced subD,Zbrush) -> Characters (encompasses/requires all previous skillsets) While… -

Re: LF Adults to help me frame what's going on in my career at the moment
I've been in a similar situation after uni. Keep working on your folio. If you need money, try to do something art related that grows at least a few skills you're using for building your folio. I did 3D stuff for video walls, some game freelancing, web-pages, etc. Be grateful to your parents! Their support is critical… -
Re: Industrial Design
Scott Robertson has good industrial design resources. Check out his free Youtube vids and grab his books if you like it. https://www.youtube.com/user/scottrobertsondesign I think one of the books they use at Art Center is "h-point the fundamentals of car design & packaging" so check that one out for more in-depth vehicle… -
Re: How does one get motivated For 3D modeling
I'm in my final month of college so right now my main motivation to model is to get a passing mark haha. Seriously though my motivation comes from the fact that i just like to make models and getting to learn new Technics as well as seeing how easy making something is the second time doing it and getting to see how much i… -
Re: Churchill Mark IV - Intro to 3D Modelling First Year Project
The road wheels really seem to be eating up an excessive number of polygons. I'd leave the top of the cylinders as solid, with the normal map supplying the more complex geometry. Depending on the final scene, you can probably limit them to cylinders with 8 or at most 12 sides, rather than the 20 you are currently using.… -
Re: 3d jobs non gaming
You mean getting to shoot grenade launchers and shotguns? Fire on the actual sims with live fire ammunition? Ride on the helicopter trainer and boat sim? Yep. At least we do here at my job, sometimes. I know some companies allow you to work from home (I think Lockheed does, or did, at least). We used to have a couple of…
