Re: WIPs in Portfolio When Applying to a Job
I would apply anyway with what you have. And at the same time do what you need to bring your work upto standard. I used to look at job applications as "portfolio gets you the job" though over the years I've found that it really comes to many factors, more importantly how, when and to whom you pitch yourself. Also I've had… -
Re: Help! I'm in art Purgatory, but I have no art...
Working with any DCC package when starting out can be daunting alongside these days a wealth of instructional material on the Net too choose from, so not surprising many people become overwhelmed with the whole thing. Those 'paint-by-numbers' tutes you'd mentioned are really the best way for a novice getting some sort of… -
Re: Surface Pro? whats your verdict? I am thinking of getting one.
I picked up a Surface Pro 3 a couple months ago. There are a few minor things that bug me about it, but so far it's been a fucking magical experience.

I actually had this conversation with my attorneys who tackle this very issue regularly and often (if you want, I can give you their contact info -- although Bar licensing may prevent them from acting… -
Re: Development Cycle Watermark
Meant to reply sooner Ror but well, you know, crunch Great post by the way. I feel the same way as a couple of you have touched on I think in that it's the process that really counts for me now. It sounds a little lame but the team camaraderie. The banter. I like the people side of it. That and 'making cool stuff' as Bobo… -
Re: super epic art tests
I got my current job after spending over a week on an art test. It was during finals at university and I was doing freelance work on the side, too, so I kinda rushed it and it ended up looking crappy. I was given a week deadline, thought I could manage it, and I handed in sub-par work. Fortunately our media director (then… -
Re: Gothic 3......
I will ask the character artist to post some screenshots of the mehes and UVs of the characters. Hope he can tell you more about what has happened at end of the production time. When I look at the characters closely, I think they also did some poly crunching beside the downsampling of the textures. I know that they had to…
