Re: WoW Detox stories
I never really understood the whole "I'm addicted thing" as a real addiction, but more of "this game is amazing", but stupid people will find anything else to lay the blame on besides their own shoulders. I played since alpha (2003) until Dec last year. Never had a problem with it interfering with my life. In fact in that… -
Re: do you need a degree to become a game artist?
This is a good answer. I know in some places, Canada, as an example. It's not an easy task for anyone to just move to another country. But you can live in, and even become a Canadian citizen through freelancing without a degree. They have a "Self employment" path, that lets you work in Canada if you've been professionally… -
Re: Internet vs Scientology
Gah, they won't leave me alone!! "Mike, I found your resume on the net in a search for VFX artists. I'm looking for some freelance talent for a number of VFX projects that I am engaged in at Golden Era Productions, the audio-visual branch of the Church of Scientology. We produce graphics, short VFX movies and other CG… -
Re: Need fantasy artists who mention prices up front.
How are different art styles and system specs "fine?" A game should look like a unified whole, by having multiple art styles you kill the app. Who do you think would pay for a game that doesn't look professional? Especially when people can download and use free to play MMOs that have a unified art style created by… -
Re: Rigging & Skinning for interchangeable meshes
Thanks for the reply, that definitely cleared up some of the mystery behind this process :) I was thinking it might have been a good idea to have a base human body and clothing on top so I could transfer some of the skinning data through the skin wrap easier but I see your point. I think it would be a waste in terms of… -
Re: Too old?
Cool, thanks for your replies guys, really inspiring and informative - guess I was worrying over nothing. Goraaz - Thanks for the link. Totally missed that thread, apologies for duplicating - Teejay seems to have exactly the same worries and has voiced them perfectly. Earthquake - thanks for the insight. I've been doing 3D… -
Re: Aspiring 3D Environment artist: Give me a reality check.
Thank god someone understands this! :pensive: Age is irrelevant (unless you're 80), because you're not on some kind of timer where you can only work up to age 35 and then be barred from the industry. So you're not BEHIND anyone. From my experience, you're not gonna be surrounded by 21 year olds when you get a job. And… -
Re: Looking for some feedack
Hey Jeremy, I was working on Star Trek for Art Bully at the same time as you. I've also hit a dry spell in finding freelance work or interviews for full-time positions. Hopefully it's just the time of year or lack of projects being in their hiring phase. In regards to your portfolio, I think it will look good once you… -
Re: How to learn 3D art / University worth it?
For self-learners, are there any good resources for what needs to be learned? A check-list if you will? I suffer daily at a desk doing a job I hate and want nothing more than to focus on picking up the skills I need to get out and do what I love (I can figure out the money later). I tried to go to a CC but I got tired of… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
Took a break from freelance today and added normal computation to my distance aided ray marcher which is a topic that I'm researching for a long time now. Its a nice technique if you are ray marching solid surfaces, because it heavily optimizes the step count and allows early quit from the loop (except near the edges of…
