I never really said anything, but I sort of decided right around the time I started over on my Hi-poly, that I was probably not finishing this in reasonable time to turn in the test. Now it's just become my big "Learn subD" project. And as for not needing a hi-poly, I haven't really done anything really, really Lo-res like…
Beat the game a few days ago. Played the first AC and skipped all 2's and got to say I dont know why in the world this game is so popular. The combat boils down to smashing Square and Circle and waiting for some beautiful canned animations. I was so pumped for this game, so looking forward too it and it is by far the…
If you have some experience with 3D modelling I would suggest you start with modeling to create the baseform and then switch to zBrush for the details. At the moment you seem to me to be struggling with the base shapes and dynamesh actually doesn't help with that from what I've seen with other students and from my own…
I'd imagine there is actually quite a large number of freelancers that are using pirated software, most likely from countries where things like this are enforced less like China for example. It is possible for companies like Autodesk to detect if a model was made using pirated software or a student edition since there are…
As a student in his last month and part time 3D artist myself I would strongly recommend you to practice doing those things manually and not with such software. Depending on where you end up the chances are that you won't have those things at hand and therefore your personal workflow might not be an option. I started with…
I went to university beause my hunger of learning was not (is still not) satisfied. Back then I had the choise of getting a job and do medicore stuff - or try hard and get at a good uni. I spent 1/2 preparing my portfolio for the uni and made it through the entrance test. Now where my last semester is about to start I can…
I am a student as well, so I can't give you professional advice. I don't even graduate till 2009. But let me tell you what I think anyway....I look at portfolio sites almost every day. So this is a critique of the website itself. PROS -I really like how clear your website is, its extremely easy to navigate and…
it's a brief overview to get attention of students and get them into "looking for more". For more in-depth take on it, it would've taken more time and a proper "course". A lot of basic stuff isnt touched, or the complex isnt further explained... if you want more detailed info on something specific just ask =) I've added…
Work on a game and try to get it shipped. Like now. Don't wait for a class. After school, work on your artwork. Do more than your homework assignment. You're not just competing against your classmates, you're competing against the world. Assuming you learn everything you need to, a Master's is a waste of investment unless…
not too bad on timing... I do think your anticipation back before getting ready to grab the sword it weird. Not really how someone would go about grabbing a sword. You moved the pelvis side to side and left the feet planted to the ground. I think your pose where he finally picks up the sword needs to come up higher and…
