Re: Did you really think no one would notice?
Sadly but true, I once reported an artist stealing works from top-notch artists, that person got into trouble later. My previous 3D art teacher also got rob his artwork, but later he became an art lead, the "stealer" applied for a job there, he know who he was. It's really nice to have a very active community where people… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | R&D
Yeah, on page 93 it says "We have developed support for our base material model inside external tools used by the game teams like Mari, Substance, and Marmoset to ease the transition." But it looks like there's not any further info than that. I can't find a public email address for him, but you might try his Twitter or… -
Re: Help with survey - which software do you use?
You know Atticusmars, that's one of my main questions as well. A lot our alumni go on to start their own studios, and it's just not financially affordable to stick to the same software as the big studios. Indies quickly learn that tools that give you 80% of what you need at 20% of the cost is a fair trade! At the same… -
Re: Has anyone started out in QA, before moving on to become a 3D Artist?
Thanks for the feedback. Thankfully, i have a powerful PC to do high intense 3D Art, such as high poly sculpting, hard surface modelling, and large scale environments in games engine. Saved a big chunk of my student finance in my first year to splash on a solid PC build for the purpose that i enjoyed 3D Art. This was… -
Re: The Trap of Entitlement
Definitely, Agree with this 100% appreciate this extra important addition to this post, I really hope students read this as I think personally its what a lot of them need to read and understand going into this industry. I believe understanding how to get people to look at your work and people to see your stuff is… -
Re: The force is not with you Lucas Arts
i see your point. i think it was more of the principal behind it. like a school teacher telling students to not do drugs, but when the day is over, he goes home and smokes his own weed that he grows in his attic. yeah it's his own stuff and it is his decision. it's just the principal behind it is so hypocritical,… -
Re: How should I start my career in the game industry?
You need to be showing finished, textured in-game models, preferably in a game engine like UE4 or Unity. Marmoset works too. You need to really demonstrate you are an expert at the entire character creation workflow, so this means showing the highpoly sculpts, and baked game res models with fully finished textures.… -
Re: For those of you in the industry, how many hours a week ?
I'd really like to hear more about this as well. This thread has done a great job dispelling a lot of the myths about weekly hours, but what about things like long-term job security? Is the industry really full of a bunch of nomads moving from studio to studio every 6-12 months because of lay-offs when a game ships/fails?… -
Re: D
personally, I will suggest you get your feet wet in a production environment before diving in and starting your own team. If you're leading a team, they will look up to you for your leadership and experience. Building a game is not a simple task and you have to plan for a lot of the unexpected. And trust me, in this… -
Re: Self Teaching Max?
I am self taught too, but I also did some night classes on beginner and intermediate 3d max, just wanted to make sure I had a comprehensive understanding, and I do, learned only a few bits I never use anyway but quite often I could help other students and even the teacher. my biggest break early on into understanding it…
