I need some career advice- should I find a school or a job?

I'm looking at Syn studio in Montreal, but I'm seriously torn on whether I want to do that or start looking for… -
Re: Development Grants and Crowd Source funding
Most grants are local. Even Kickstarter has jurisdiction. I know the Canadian Media Fund offers up to $1million. http://www.cmf-fmc.ca/ Unreal has one for teams that use the Unreal Engine. https://www.unrealengine.com/unrealdevgrants There's also heavy stipulations on some, and some that are subject based. If you want to… -
looking for script to bind poly verts to curves in maya.
A few weeks ago I saw a video (here on polycount) where you could redistribute the distance of the edges/verts along a curve that was automatically created from your selection via the script. I left the page open planning to download the script later but my comp crashed and I lost the web page. Does anyone happen to… -
Re: As a programmer, how do I sell myself to an artist?
Depends on a few things, from the artist's perspective it will likely feel like applying to any other job, so you should look at what an employer does to hire artists. The biggest thing to think about is if you are going to pay the artist, or if you are hoping to find somebody willing to work for free. A decision like this… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hello ! No problem. Models from high profile games from this era (PS3/360) are IMHO excellent examples of what can be done with a reasonnable budget. Not only in terms of raw numbers (tris # and texture sizes) but also because they're good reality checks on what matters and where to cleverly cut corners, in turn giving you… -

Re: Need advice on rebooting to learn 3D
I think first you have to define a specific career goal. If it's game environment art, you may find all the information you need plus a lot of things you didn't expect from the wiki page on this site and also the archived threads. I'm sure some people here can help a lot as well, but you kind of need a more specific… -
Re: Layoff update
Congrats on the game, and yeah it's unfortunately a really tough market. I'm heartened somewhat though by knowing there are lots of opportunities for 3D artists if you're willing to branch outside of game development. That's been my personal experience, I haven't worked in gamedev for nine years now, but have managed to…
