Re: Dwarven Architectural Set (Image heavy)
Hey @Elrinion, First of, thank you for the comment! In term of texture resolution, right now I'm at 4k, although the farther I am in development the more I realize that it's a waste of resources (I could easily go to 2048 without any noticeable drop in quality). As to how I deal with textures, it's a little bit of both,… -
Re: Just got a junior 3D artist position and I'm suddenly feeling pressure, what should a junior know?
Figured I'd make an update since it's has been so long. Thanks for all the comments, I read them often before starting the job and they really put me at ease. Ultimately I was overestimating what they expected of me and found myself in a position of doing very menial task that don't require much skill (grunt work). Over… -
Re: Old/Abandoned Asylum Environment (First UE4 Project-Looking for any input/Crit) :)
And remember, to do the most with the models you've created already or have on hand. Take a page from real-life movie set design. You think they make a column or scene prop and use it once and throw it away? Nope, they get the most they can from it. The place it in one scene, doing one thing, light, shoot it, and then grab… -
Re: Advice on portfolio/landing first job (Character Artist)
Looking at games from over a decade ago instead of the more recent trends isn't really going to give you an impression of what companies are looking for when it comes to hiring right now. The industry changed and got a lot bigger. Companies and their stakeholders getting more risk averse because of the huge costs each game… -
Re: Beginner Troll
Panda, I wholeheartedly agree and while I have sketches and references for just about everything, I never solidified anything about the troll and the friend I'm doing this for didn't provide me with much to work on. I could've taken it with creative license and done a lot more with it, and in that regards I've failed. This… -
Re: Half Life 2: Would anyone be willing to...?
Sure no problem. I already had HL2 when I bought the Orange Box, to get HL2:EP1-2, HL2:Lost Coast, TF2 & Portal. It was a pretty sweet deal and a lot of people grabbed it because it got you into the TF2 beta a few weeks before it released. Any games you buy that you already have show up as gift-able. PM me if you're ever… -
Re: What to Charge for a Crowdfunded Project?
Hey Jonas thanks for the feedback. That's pretty much all I wanted to know. I don't see myself on the same level as quite a few of the artists on here... you guys kind of blow me away If im honest lol. I left Uni with a first but that doesn't mean much in this industry lol tried for jobs in games for a while. Got nothing… -
Re: Ways to improve the industry?
There is a big difference between making money and making a living/raising a family. I understand a large percentage of game artist are in many case single or team up with a room mate to pay for expenses. Which can lead to many settling down with their finances and not looking at the bigger picture. In regards to living in… -
Re: Portfolio Critique - sp0nge
Made a couple of changes to the website following feedback; added a splash page and used the title image for a link back to it. Also adjusted the layout of the image boxes to make it look a little neater. Out of interest, has anyone else had issues with loading times aside from praetor187? @djgardner: there's no set art… -
Re: Becoming Character Artist... Kinda
There are low end character jobs, but they aren't very fulfilling, and this stuff is increasingly outsourced. Example: tons of clothing for MMOs. Retopo and refinement of stuff from marvelous designer. Of course, there are also non AAA jobs in mobile. Here and there you'll need some ZB. But the games you work on may be…
