Definitely been there man. I've been pretty fortunate though. Got my first industry gig 3 months out of art school and had full time for 8 years before I got laid off for the first time. Now I'm back at my first company making fun art after a 9 month unemployment stint. But that 9 month stint was rough. I was still very…
Well first off, I´ve got no clue about the WoW Universe but maybe this is still helpful. You said you were going to make a twist because usually these elves don´t act like that. I think they still look incredibly "normal wow elvish" though, so you might want to exaggerate that twist even more. Make them less beautiful,…
I used 3dmax 2010 and zbrush SaferDan Instead of walking you through my process I thought it better to send you two links that illustrate what I did in a much more thorough fashion, sorry man my wife and son are getting ready to leave town and I need spend as much time with them as possible. I used this core process for…
Well, I'll get right to answering your questions, And thanks for your reply ofc :) As for how many we are - for now it's just me. Towards the end of the semester I'll probably get 1-2 more people for the team. That's how the program works. Regarding skills - I'm the most "technically proficient" member of the future team,…
My thoughts: 1. win XP 32 is almost dead(near complete EoL). On the other hand it cannot support more than 3,5Gb of RAM(with dirty tricks). x64 is superior in all the aspects. Vista also offers DX10 and video memory virtualization(which is VERY important when dealing with big meshes... and xp64 cannot do this). Some shops…
Instead of answering every question you have here I'll just give you some basic advice. Besides most people have said more or less what I would have. If you want to succeed in this industry you have to make that conscious choice right now. Do not expect any school or internship to teach you or hand-feed you the knowledge…
I can see their point. But the question is - just how do you define a violent game? Would a standard FPS be considered violent? How about a WW2 Era Flight Simulator (it has explosions)? Would Bomberman be considered too violent for kids? What about Space Invaders? I can only think of a few games that don't involve…
I apologize for the length, it's just something that's been on my mind a lot lately...trust me I could write pages more :P But Yeah, I call it the day America went insane. Unfortunately, for those who believe war is the only road to peace, it was a confirmation of their beliefs and a vehicle to further inflate the military…
I hear ya, d1ver. By the way, your English is seriously impressive, and you're obviously a pretty damn educated and smart individual. Don't sell yourself short on the value of that. I've never served in the military, but I have looked down the sights on a rifle at another human being. Fortunately it didn't escalate past…
Welcome to the board, its a fantastic place to learn and give/recieve feedback! Slipsius is right, you want to mirror on something like this, you are going to want to be as efficient as possible, if you look at his layout there is barely any wasted space as a result of the mirroring. you could probably go even further by…
