Re: How is it to work in the industry?
This is an interesting thread and so far, good experiences only it would seem. I have also been pretty fortunate. I have been in the industry for about 9 years and only worked for 2 studios. I've been laid off once but have been through several layoff experiences. For me, this has been an amazing gig...I make characters… -
Re: Seeking Professional Advice
Just to throw in the other side of the opinions. Its an extremely competitive industry and attracts a lot of people into it, but if you commit and are passionate about what you do. But ultimately, good at what you have chosen to do. I believe you can do very well for yourself. Starting salary in games is pretty bad, but… -
Re: OA3 progress thread
long story short, there was much turmoil and drama over a CGtextures-smuggling mapper in 2008 which drove morale into the ground leaving me left/ and unrelatedly a great artist (enkithan) moved on to bigger fish to fry. Many of the better models were collabs with me (mesh/anim) and him (skin/concept). and then there was… -
Re: being shot down by others and yourself but keeping on
Right, the main issue in order to improve apart from perseverance, passion and motivation to do so on your behalf, I think really comes down to the foundational knowledge of visual art which is not being addressed here. So off the top of my head i.e: - Observation - Composition - Perspective - Lighting - Colour Theory -… -
Re: Pacific Rim

Re: Fork in the road
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… -
Re: Switching from Maya to Blender
I swhitched from Max to Blender last year after about a decade of using both Max and Maya at studio jobs. I did so after evaluating MayaLT and Modo, both of which left me unimpressed mostly for performance and stability reasons. (that said, I still want to explore the rendering side of Modo which seems to be very… -
Re: VFX Portfolio
Some really nice effects here. A few points about the bouncing betty: The pieces don't fly out like you'd expect considering the force of the explosion. Their flight describes a gentle arc instead of the almost horizontal outward movement you'd expect, especially since you have trails in there. Not 100% sure if the trails… -
Re: How did everyone here get into the 3d world?
I got here through a rather unconventional path, I suppose. Throughout my young life I always assumed I would grow up to be an artist. Even though I mostly liked drawing creatures and animals and characters rather than doing more "artsy" stuff, I ended up going into Fine Art when I went to art school. I learned a lot there… -
