Miguel, don't do ITT bro. I went there for a bit and it was a classic case of student knowing more than the teacher. They will try to sell you, they are gonna be real nice to get you to sign that paper and get some of that pell Grant, Leave it alone. Just walk away from ITT. Digipen, Last I heard it has ziltch for game…
if it's for running your own enterprise, you can count anything that teaches you the ropes as experience. Actually I've seen some really cool student projects made in Unity which could just as well have been made by actual hired people in a small studio. If it's for a job, then we're talking job experience - time spent in…
Hey thanks guys, Glad you like the level design layout. That was how I planned out my levels for a game I began to make a couple of years back...needless to say it was an isometric turn based fallout type of game, unfortunately reall life kicked me in the ass so had to put it in the backburner . By all means steal away!…
Sure there is a lot of talent, most of it is just not in Germany anymore. I personally left germany because the lack of good companies and the absense of a minimum wage in germany. The unpaid "internship" mentality that was deeply rooted in the industry fed me up. This was feasible due to "job centers" paying for the rest…
@ duoxan I technically finished it but i'm gonna rework it from the ground up. I still have quite a bit of high poly work I wanted to do for it (more parts, welds, dents ect...) and the bake turned out pretty rough. BUT it was done enough for the class and the instructor liked it. :nerd: @ samgriffiths I go to the Art…
One thing ive learnt fast about making something appealing. If people think its creepy when its a wip, that isn't going to change when you finish. With this stuff you don't want to have to explain why it isn't creepy to every one of your audience. For example i never listened to people when i made this as a student about…
Shame to see someone struggling without a copy of necessary software because they can't afford it. It's the old catch 22, you need to buy the software to get good enough to be paid, you can't afford the software because you don't have that job yet. I'd reccomend getting max or maya SOMEHOW, talk to friends who are into…
I have two suggestions. Place the scene in a game and see how it looks, good luck with translating the leaves. You might want to do a single plane with groups of leaves painted on them with a opacity and scatter those, and see how that looks. It won't look as good as they do now, but it might lower the polycount for you…
It's really interesting, disheartening stuff. We've had alot of protests in the UK recently over a large hike in tutition fees that a large part of the government pledged would never happen. There where a few small outbreaks of violence, and alot of over reaction from the police, but in just doesn't compare the the…
A sense of humor goes a long way, I live in the states and I'm gay but I don't freak out when I hear the word "faggot" or "that's gay" which is something I'd hear often in class during studio sessions (all us students working on our individual projects but keeping up a good dialogue in between us helps the time go by).…
