I would go to college for Architecture, and learn Game Design at home via subscribed websites such as: Eat3d: http://eat3d.com/ Digital Tutors: http://digitaltutors.com/ Or, if you plan on doing Game Design hard core, make sure the college you are getting in to is appropriate. To measure which college is appropriate for…
I agree with this. I never saw automation as the end all to everything. Instead, automation means services are being traded in favor of productivity and efficiency. It's like traditional animation. 3D animation mostly took away all its revenue, but the talent still finds life in TV shows, anime, and Indie video games.…
Don't get discouraged, studies are hard.That's the point of them. I like the top two, the third one is a bit hard to read, check if your values are right on that cup. It kinda looks like you are not using multiple layers on these studies. Not sure what software you have, but I'd say you shouldn't be afraid of using digital…
if your talking about a general BA degree that gives you some other skills that you can apply to another profession if you fail to get a job then i can agree with you. but if its one of these 2 year over priced digital art associates programs then it's not worth it unless you have been judged to have a high level of…
[FONT="] Thanks for the breakdown here, I get what you mean about Substance painter now that it isnt about detail making as much as it is broad uses of textures and marks. Whilst I havent ventured beyond the general texure creation pipleine of UV screenshot to Photoshop, re-export back to 3Dsmax I was hoping that…
Hey thanks heaps for the advice. Yes my 3D is lacking mainly because I've only used programs that aren't good for game asset design (gun is in rhino, mixer is in solidworks) both are really bad for game art. My uni provides full premium digital-tutors tutorials which seems to have really good resource. My main focus is…
Drawing outside my house its not really a option where i live... there are few teachers that are really good here but dont really have that much time or money to spare for that... so drawing digitally on my tablet or traditional with pencil is at the moment only way i can start learning. I've spended a couple of hours…
You can't eat ideas or sleep under them in a rainstorm. The Renaissance masters were well paid by the Popes and nobles who commissioned those works. And for several hundred years, there was only ONE Sistine Chapel and ONE Mona Lisa. As for the printing press - many of those were, again, commissioned and paid for by nobles,…
TLDR; In Canada the general vibe is studios on the west coast use Maya and studios on the east coast use Max. I just got a job at Digital Extremes about a month ago, and they use Max. I told them in the interview I had never used Max before, and I still got the job. The point is, you can easily switch from one to the…
Thanks DDuckworth and slipstream for the comments. I will look into finding a lightbox that is faster, doesn't resize and has a next picture feature. Good thing I started using marmoset for all my renders since showing the models in real time is very important. There is definitely some padding since I don't have a large…
