Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
These big companies for the most part don't care if you've pirated their software because they make their money off of companies who have to buy licenses. They actually like it when you pirate their stuff because it creates mindshare. I remember my friend telling me that Alias never changed how you cracked a version of… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
Why would I need to go to tech artist forum to respond to his comment about Maya's stability being related to my machine lol. And why are you answering a rhetorical question that was aimed at someone else, and was mostly sarcastic in the first place :P Was merely illustrating the point that Maya is built on a foundation… -
Re: Plagiarism, findings
Calm down and try to have a little perspective here. Lets say you are a freelance artist, you did some work based off of another artist's concept, you did the modeling work and want to show it off but didn't do the concept work. Someone finds your model in your portfolio and starts a thread about how you stole the concept… -
Re: Maya LT vs. Blender (and some other questions too)
I haven't gotten around to messing with Maya's UV editor, I have however worked a bit with Blender's UV system. What do you think makes it superior? Well, someday when I feel like I'm at a point where I can actually justify using Maya's fancy tools I'll definitely switch. Until then, being limited on the useful scripts is… -
Re: Halo Style Environment (WIP)
Small update, haven't really had much time to work on this, had my first freelance type gig and also quit my salary job so I can try and devote the most possible time to getting better at 3D. Scary times! Here is just a quick update, I struggle the most with colour, how to pick colour themes and knowing what works well… -
Re: Questioning my career path
Blaming the games industry because you don't have any meaningful relationships or friends? It was his choice to move that many times. There are bad jobs and there are good jobs, and there is also freelancing and going indie. All which are perfectly viable options IF you get good enough. Whats awesome about the being a… -
Re: Oh nos~! A Samurai and the lost Ninja Turtle.
Hahaha, sorry 3DGuy . I was wondering if I'd get that response :P. Anyway, thanks for the compliments guys. They wanted the character around 8000 tris, so they went towards anything and everything that effected the silhouette; some more subtle than others. Wires on my site if you're interested. As for the pose, I agree -… -
Re: degree vs. portfolio, "falling back on a degree"
I have business and web/print design degree, but I'm employed as a 3d artist. I took a 10 week Maya class after teaching myself 3ds Max for 3 years but have no other formal training. I've worked with a number of folks that don't have a degree, either - it is definitely possible to find work in the 3d world without a… -
Re: Attracting a quality artist to your WIP Game.
My advice would be that you gotta understand that even though an artist want to, it's hard to dedicate alot of spare time for a free project. I've been in a modding team where the leader expected me to dedicate 8 hours every day to the project, while under an NDA that didn't allow me to show my work after it was done.… -
Re: Most useless professions?
I know of a few useless professions unique to the building I work in: Art Manager without Art background ( speaks for itself. Waaaaay more trouble than benefit ) Level Co-ordinator ( erm, some spotty intern kid with delusions of grandeur that runs around with a clipboard asking various people working on level content…
