Hey man, fellow Australian here. I know the question was more directed to job availibilty outside of our country but http://www.tsumea.com/ is a good place to check regularly for jobs in AUS and NZ I've been seeing a lot of programming jobs lately though. As for the Character vs. Environment, i would stay just stick with…
I wouldn't underestimate the time and energy needed for a crowdfunding campaign. Sure, a big part of that will go into your project anyway, but you'll basically have to prepare a pitch in a time when you probably should concentrate on university and big parts of your project aren't necessarily ready for presentation yet,…
After a summer of shameful procrastination and projects started without being finished, I feel like I should at least post some of what I've been working on: First, an old LeMat Revolver WIP. My first attempt at modeling a weapon: http://www.tonysladky.com/2011/05/23/lemat-revolver-process/ Next, the progress I've made on…
THE MANTRA for freelance... Good and fast isn't cheap Cheap and good isn't fast Fast and cheap isn't good Or something to that effect. As for the original question, the character without the head I'd say 4-6 weeks factoring in feedback loops, for the head/hair/beard etc... 2-4 weeks depending on complexity and if it needs…
When I was freelancing plugins became very important in fleshing out the tool set that I felt were missing in the native program and specifically reducing production time in repetitive tasks.

I grew rhino skin after the amount of industry jobs applied for in my teens. no response really does mean no. trickles of "we'll get back to you" and even interviews and re-interviews really do mean no. It's just plain rude on thier part and makes me think less of thier professional capacity. I was actually in the position…
I initially got into games because of Dungeons & Dragons ... it was a small publishing market that needed lots of cheap art and I was looking for someone to publish me -- that and Dungeons & Dragons (circa 1975) was what I had been looking for all my young life. I got into video games more by accident. While I was working…
Had a degree in an unrelated field, and decided to pursue art which had always been a hobby. Began taking Photoshop classes at community college, got intrigued by the whole 3d thing. Did thorough investigation and decided it was possible to actually make a living doing art. So I wanted to get trained up and functional as…
Per - I checked out that Asus board out and it looks pretty good. I went with a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 on my new rig. It had great reviews on New Egg and has solid caps. Using the 8600 as well since it seemed to have the most bang for the buck at the time. Running a dual boot of vista ultimate x64 and XP pro x32. Currently…
