Re: Student Seeing Portfolio Review for 3D Artist Position in Games
I could only find the modern stuff, maybe the fantasy and sci-fi will come later. But I think that if you actually need to split you portfolio into 7 parts (3 kinds of environments, 3 kinds of props and then games) you are probably doing something wrong. I think you need to start combining some of the images (for example… -
Re: Shock - Dota2 Concepts, Collaboration, Workshop
If you post work, expect it to be critiqued. If you don't want it critiqued, don't post it. If you know the works is: Why would you post it? If you are trying get critique on form, color, and silhouette, spend the time to execute it to a degree where you feel comfortable enough/proud enough to exhibit it. If that's not the… -
Re: Performance affecting with polycount/uv etc
All of these are dependent. 1) That depends on: * The texture size * The texture compression * How the texture is sampled 2) If I'm understanding you correctly. You mean 4 grayscale channel images vs 1 RGBA image with those 4 grayscale channels packed. If so, either/or, providing that the engine packs it correctly. It's… -
Re: Portfolio pieces: practical vs memorable
It doesn't matter. There's no secret portfolio strategy that's going to make life wonderful again. Just make shit that's mind-blowing. If that's a challenge still, you're not dedicated enough. Try selling off a kidney or something to pay the bills for a while so you can sit at your computer for 7 or 8 years learning all… -
Re: job prob
My employer hired me as a level/content designer a bit over 4 years ago. About 2 years ago, I realized that I loved where I worked, but not what I was doing. I talked with my producer and with my lead and asked if it was possible to shift over to doing art ... something I hadn't done full time in about 7 years and I had no… -
Re: Lil' Ghost Rider - CC2010 Entry
Hm I thought I replied to this, but my PC must have lost power while posting or smth. Anyway, I made some chains a while ago: each shackle uses 20 polies, and the alpha'd strips are 16 polies per 6 shackles. You could also connect some verts on the character and extrude those polies, but that wouldn't be a good solution at… -
Re: screwing Delta for lost baggage
We stopped using Delta after one incident in which all of our checked in luggage was lost for 3 days of a 7 day vacation. This included a bag of spoilable food that we were bringing from NY to California for my cousins. When the bags finally turned up they were both reluctant to drop them off at the hotel we were staying… -
Re: ATI and maya incompatability.
I'm using a Radeon 9800 XT I have 3 display problems while using Maya 7 in high quality rendering display: 1. I get yellow blocks on the screen which I definatly know this is from over heating now. It doesn't occur that much now since I vacuumed it. 2. Sometimes Maya doesn't display the normals properly. It just looks… -
Re: 3dsmax UV Editor Transfer Edge Selection to Edit Poly?
Eric, yea fancy engines like Unreal are great at preserving normals, but not everyone is blessed to be working with software so awesome heh. The only way for me to get my normals to match is to break the geometry and bake with a welded cage. Confusing as hell but it gets rid of the seams in my case. Just a long process of… -
Re: A few questions (mainly max)
Thanks MoP :) I'll have to get a clue with scripting then. It sounds like most of it could be dealt with that way, and if it's all UI at least it's only one section to dig into. Maybe I'll also be able to get my hotkeys to be more context sensitive -- a target weld that respects editable poly vs Unwrap would be nice, or a…
