Thanks guys for the crits. Der Hollander, no need to apologize. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for and I can feel my little ego's gonna make it :] I did want to explain my use of mudbox a little though. I use mudbox solely for texturing. I think it's great because you can paint/project straight onto the low poly…
I'd fully explore the benefits of doing a Masters before you decide. I looked into doing one after I finished my BA but to me, it just seems like the only reason to do an MA is to either delay getting a job so you can live like a student for another year, or if you want to go into academia and/or research. I can't speak…
@ Brygelsmack: That's what I was doing initially (working on one side), and then I tried to mirror it over and got this mess. I was actually hoping for a paint over. As for what they're teaching us in school, it's all low-poly environment modeling so far. I actually registered for this particular Max class under the…
I liked how they finally tied Richard to the Black Rock :) The line in the 2nd or 3rd episode where SmokeLocke said something to the effect of "glad to see you back in those chains," and seeing Richard kinda lamenting at the chains on the boat was a nice subtle touch either hinting at him being a slave/prisoner, or been…
Hi there, Are you sure this is the right way to get into University for art / design? Have you ever got any information from students or professors at your desired university about what they want to see? My expirience (Germany and Design School) is, that they want to see who you are! What you like to do, what interests you…
Well there's always Digipen, (did not go there myself and have no idea if it's a good university or not other than the original Portal/Narbacular Drop team was hired from there) I personally just when to my state university (UConn) and studied Illustration/Studio Arts/BFA stuff, which I thought was a great experience. I'm…
hahaha...NO! Just like available models on Turbosquid and Crativecash wont replace the jobs of modelers. Auto-rigging system and scripts will help super small indie projects but for bigger professionnal works, an entitled specialized rigger who know his expressions, nodes and python will always be in top demands in the…
Most TN panels are 6-bit + FRC which boosts it to the 16.7m colour range whereas nearly all IPS panels are true 8-bit panels with a lot being 8-bit + FRC to get the extra range. In summary TN panels use extra tech to reproduce colours more accurately which in most cases doesn't do a better job then the native 8-bit+ units.…
FIEA is a Masters course, and you would need some sort of Bachelor's degree from any school before applying. There is a portfolio/code/writing review, and they only accept 50-60 students per year. The course lasts 16 months with the bulk of work taking place during the first 12 and last 4 are typically where people take…
