Maybe he won't be such a tightwad if he manages to land that contract, maybe he will relax... I doubt it. You could always resort to office warfare and destroy him a piece at a time. It works best if everyone is in on it and can cover for each other as well as assist in the pulling off. Things like: 1) If he uses a "ball…
Yes sir! First of all, read Ben Cloward's site, www.bencloward.com . Then, get a copy of ShaderFX for 3dsmax to fool around in, or alternatively you could probably mess around in the UE3 shader node tool. But I would recommend ShaderFX. This will allow you to get the hang of building shaders without actually coding and you…
I agree with everyone else here, that you should choose a specialty path and really hit it hard to show your greatest strengths. Getting into other areas isn't bad though either, as it will show you know the whole pipeline, but sometimes not the best to put on your portfolio for what position your really going for. That's…

Alright, that makes sense. If I ever make an amazing concept art out of magic. I will just share it in my concept art album and still leave it out of my portfolio. Yup, bare essentials. I have only 4 of the best work on my portfolio page and nothing else. My ArtStation profile does have more than that like props, some…
Alright, sorry for the delay but here are the flats for the mud ground texture. Workflow for creation (approx. 4 hrs): 1. Start with basic diffuse, something with enough detail in colours to bring out the normals/specular nicely. Make sure the map is at least 2k, you can always downres it... 2. Adjust diffuse colour…
at my school we have a set of classes based around creating a game demo. the time spent on the overall process is in total 1 year. a lot of which i think is too much time wasted. its separated as follows: (in quarters) 1: Interactive Game Prototyping - we spend time creating a back story for the game. characters,…
Thanks guys I am not really complaining I was trying to figure out what would be the reasoning behind It before confronting him about It so I don't jump to my conclusion that someone just bailed on him and he just shoved the work at me. I do not think of myself as having an ego, I think in the opposite direction. Ben…
Good question. The camera I use (Olympus OMD EM1) can take 7 shots bracket at 2 EV increments, which is what I do. A nice benefit of the EM1 is that it can take all the shots with one shutter press, which is handy. Depending on your camera, you may be limited to less shots, or say, 5 shots at 1EV. In which case you might…
1. People are complaining that they now have to pay for things they got for free before 2. People are complaining that they are being paywalled from essential things like Sky UI (Bethesda shameless bringing a console UI to PC, and Sky UI fixes usability p.Ex.) 3. People are complaining that Bethesda is getting paid for…
