Re: Degrees, Visas, and moving to America
Also, keep in mind, time frame. If time is not an issue, it'll be fine. But the U.S. takes quite a awhile to issue work visa's or to do immigration without a company sponsoring you (and only really bigger studios have the financial backing to support someone from over seas instead of a native to call you over.). I just… -
Re: Turbosquid and similar platforms
Unity asset store is a viable option. It's definitely not a lottery in any case though, you just need to approach it properly and substantially. I.e, not just publishing random assets randomly, but coming up with a business plan and thinking through your approach properly. What do developers want when they turn to stock… -
Re: Your thoughts on the current state of the workshop/DOTA2Store
I don't get it. Why is this part of the issue? SUNSfan is somewhat right in that we sorta lump DC together with the rest of the organisations, but that is for good reason - the issue is not about DC doing what they do. Nor is it really about organisations scamming artists (though that's bad too and is addressed in… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
If you only have blender experience, and NO Maya or max experience, that is going to be a negative. If the studio is reviewing two equally talented/qualified artists, not knowing a major 3d app, at-least on a rudimentary level would be a concern. Personally, I've gotten by with just basic working knowledge of Max and Maya… -
Re: My daily 3D modeling sketchbook.
@PolygonDon Thanks a lot! Hearing that I inspire is extremely motivating. :) @polaroid The AAU allows you to take GAM classes even if you're ANM. In fact, that's what I'm doing. GAM used to be a part of ANM, but was made into it's own major after it gained popularity. I stuck with ANM though because I was so far into the… -
Re: Get a game job!
Hey, wow I'm actually posting on this board for once instead of lurking. I just felt I should really emphasize how important "environment" artists are really becoming. I'm going to use myself for example, I got hired pretty randomly to an independent game / technology studio last September that was expanding. I wasn't… -
Re: Community Colleges: training ground for game dev?
Had to chime in on this one as well. :] As I've said before, I'm currently enrolled in a Game Art and Design program at an Art Institute. We do work on the quater system; 11 weeks, meet once a week for 4 hours. But this is a 4 year degree. My school has the "let's make them a generalist" attitude as well. So it's very… -
Re: The Other Brothers on KICKSTARTER! Please show your support any way you can!
Here's a breakdown of some of the costs: 4x unity licenses and asset servers for 4.0 with support for 2 devices, android and ios, comes to: $20,000. We can probably stagger this and get away with $10k on licenses by ensuring 2 team members go without. So lets say 10k for that. Lets take off 2.5k because that's… -
Re: Reusing your own base mesh
~ I'm beginning to see why a lot of people are losing their patience the general attitude of some artists on Polycount, so I'll try to voice my opinion without getting bitter and jaded; - In a dev situation, you are almost always going to be working with game meshes that have to be fairly decided upon before you finish all… -
Re: Stereotypes in video games?
I've spent the last 18 months freelancing on kid's TV pilots - one last year had a multi-ethnicity cast with a black lead and at least two of the major broadcasters have refused to pick it up for it being 'too ethnic'. The latest one I've been working on I pushed hard to have any kind of ethnic characters represented at…
