Sacrifice is not always the answer for a future in the game industry. I personally made a choice to stop with my hobbies and not have a girlfriend while I am doing my studies that took over most of my time. But I said to myself that when I finish my studies, I can restart with those thing I had to give up in the beginning.…
@OddEyes; Thanks. I might end up modelling the under carriage, but I am not sure if I can be pushed to do the interior. I work 60 hours a week, so its really hard to find time to model at the moment. I am heading in another direction, career wise, so this has become a relaxing hobby. @Maxivz; Thanks buddy. I can get some…
I actually think it may have peaked at Quake 2 ... one of the last "everybody is playing THIS game" type of games. But it will take some game like that where the engine allows for crazy creativity and everybody can't wait to make PPMs because everyone can use them and see them in use for the hobby of PPM creation to get…
[ QUOTE ] Because player characters will typically be split up into many parts to offer customizability, and players tend to gather together on the screen, you can quickly overload the graphics card with too many individual objects to render [/ QUOTE ] well the game I work on (an indy hobby game) merges the parts so that a…

Hey guys! First time polycount post! I just got into making game art as a hobby after work. This is a Japanese Torii Gate. Modeled a high poly, created the low poly, baked the normal map, then made a quick texture with some dirt but obviously not done. WIP. Just posting this up for the progress details. Let me know if you…
Hello, My name is Roelof Koning currently studying GameDesign in the Netherlands. Aside from GameDesign I've done quite some things in 3D. Of course I'm not the best here but I've done many visualisations of buildings and architecture and I believe I can be of some use for a small fee. Therefor I'd like to dedicate my time…
Hey everyone, I'm probably posting in the wrong place, but I couldn't quite determine a better choice. I did run a few searches but couldn't get the answer... I'm a hobby modeler and use Blender. I'd like to be able to present work for critique here, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. When looking for critique, what is…
Well I'm still a student, but for me the thing I love most about environments is building worlds. I had Warhammer as a hobby for 6 years (suddenly, work and school made me stop). My favorite part probably was making buildings and chunks of land out of foam and arranging them. Environments allow the same sort of freedom. I…
