Imagine in 2002, when most games still had free time limited demos, if you could get people to PAY YOU to play your demo with the caveat that they could get a full refund if they hadn't played more than 2 hours? There's no doubt people would have been all over that idea if not for the sheer stupidity of it (in 2002) -…
Hey there, So I'm really unable to get to the point quickly but I'll try to be as brief as possible (really nervous about my first topic, presenting how little I can do after many years trying to be good in 3D so bear with me, please ?) So my aim, as of right now, is to create an "average" male base mesh that wil allow me…
Hey all! I normally do animation, but I have a few months off and thought I'd try building a robot rig. Character setting; It's half past the future and humanity has gone batshit insane. A cult of AI worshipers "submit to the almighty singularity" and voluntarily replace their flesh with mech. Their arms and legs are cut…
Hi everyone. I finished high school several months ago and have been stockpiling questions over the summer while I studied and practiced. I would really appreciate it if I could have some of them answered before I head off to the Savannah College of Art and Design in three days to begin my journey into the game and/or film…
I know where you're coming from Exroath. I have a four year degree. One of my last required courses was called "Career Skills"; it was meant to help us get our portfolios polished, train us for interviews, and generally prepare us for the business end of a career as creative professionals. The "professor" that had been…
Jackablade, I sort of did what you are doing, the difference is I had no experience straight out of school. I refused to go work some shit job because the ones I could get were dangerous, and just didn't want to deal with that BS after I got my degree. Also I felt I would be more productive just working on my reel. I feel…
Definitely second the above advice. You have to take a longer view of things and accept the fact that you'll have to suffer a bit to get what you want. My wife and I had been renting for awhile before we realized that we were essentially throwing our money away each month doing so. So, just like @Sigmafie said, we got some…
I don't think there's anything wrong with desiring to be that first place. It is hard to take the experience when you've been conditioned all your life to be competitive and always strive for the best, that when it doesn't happen, you feel your worst. I personally dislike contests because in my experience they always let…
Yes, anatomy is something I am struggling a lot with, and I am directing my current efforts into learning and practicing more of it. Ah my apologies, I should have checked the forums better before posting here. I did notice in the 3d showcase area there is also a quarterly character challenge which catches my attention, I…
Hey guys and girls. I just landed my 1st jr.artist job (Hooray!!) And I wanted to share the story on how I got it so others who are still searching can benefit from it. Plus I think its a pretty interesting topic. It would be great if you guys could share as well. Getting the 1st job is always the hardest. Hopefully these…
