Re: Hustle Time - Good Habits for the Aspiring Game Artist
@SnakeDoctor - Give the morning stuff a shot. It's hard to get used to, but I'm really starting to enjoy my quiet am jam sessions :) I'm going to make a habit of setting articles and tutorials up to read during breaks at work. I won't have time to surf around for them, but I can have them keyed up like you said. Did that… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
Do yourself and your family a favor and don't pay for an art degree. Take that money that you would spend on schooling and put it towards living expenses and Eat3D/Gnomon DVDs. The quality of education that you will get from those DVDs is higher then most classrooms. Take the skills taught in the DVDs and create your own… -
Re: Practicality vs Aesthetics
continuing... far up in his mountian hold, the great king Hazardous, leader of the regime, sits on his throne, made of bossums and booty.

Thing was.. he worked hard. Every month he… -
Re: After work, do you have time and energy to work on personal projects?

Re: Monthly Noob Character Challenge Discussion
I'd say, we should all do character from the same concept art. Great learning experience and it's still up to each of us to decide the style of it. GameArtisan will have Comic Challenge something on the 1st of Jan anyway. So, let's keep noob learning something for us and different from challenge. ;P -
Re: 3ds max baking rant thread
It's a really interesting point you make that the perception could be that max gives better results ( especially for less technically minded/anal folks) Because of the bits and bobs that are required for it to look decent within max. I'm sure most of us will agree that it is not a question of whether great art can be made…
