I know he didn't take credit, I was just rolling off the discussion Jesse & Andy were having. I know sometimes artists will just go into the editor and position things, light, tweak the shaders, etc. to make art look a little more polished, but what I was saying is that if you label yourself an Environment Artist (speaking…
hahahaha..I actually imagined that :D On Serious note: Do not shiver in front of him and have a friendly behaviour.....not too friendly though. From my past random interviews I figured out that if you be friendly and ask them questions regarding their company (I assume you have done the homework in terms of knowing the…
Ill look up some that are on Kindle as well, but my favorite ones that are not textbook style are, A Tractate on Japanese Aesthetics by Donald Richie which is more of an easy short read. One thats good for technical aspects of traditional arts is, Designa Technical Secrets of the Traditional Visual Arts. This one contains…
As always a pleasure :) In the next days i´ll post an update which will contain some cosmetical changes and possible bugfixes(atm it´s possible that, if you have automatic mode enabled and it´s in the process of enabling or disabling the tablet pc services and you disable automatic mode then, that it stops during the…
Thanks F_X I managed to get them all to build, however I've run into another problem, since the british have 6 medium vehicles and 1 heavy, the file sizes for my medium summer and winter packages are almost 250mb each :( .

Then that normal map is used in the refraction shader that distorts the scene. To "clean" the windshield (say, when the wipers sweep the…
I have just now recovered the files from my recently deceased hard drive which contained this gun project's files. I intend to re-render this piece and would love any advice on what I can do to make it better. The main issue is remaking the highlight info with some PBR. I'm thinking it would be the prime opportunity to…
couldn't get rid of this damn behaviour no matter what, not even a configuration reset did the trick - so i finally had to work around it: - create a direct copy of standard.zbp under a different name and put it into my interface, replacing the default - simply reassigning the hotkey for standard did not stick across app…
No, it was definitely your portfolio. Either it's good and you get accepted or it's "meh" and someone takes your place. The problem with your portfolio is that it isn't very impressive. If you are not very good at 3D yet maybe it would be better to post 2D artwork. Three of your images are 10 min sketches. Teachers are…
:) Next on my TODO list, after I finish collsion generator, there is a terrain cutting tool that will help prepare terrain for occlusion culling. I was working on terrain tools and at the begin of my R&D I found this nasty problem: Right now it's easy to cut terrain on chunks, however if you have terrain that contains…
