I have no problem with potential employers knowing about my online activities that are relevant to the job. Building up a presence on the internet is a really effective way of getting attention and attracting job offers. I am however wary of employers who would want to access to my Facebook, Twitter or whatever (not that I…
Sectaurs, ha! what to do with those goggle things ..... gauss, nice BS story about the goggles haha! and excellent observations. i love how you're always in that critical state of mind. that is a very useful characteristic as a concept artist. thanks for your comments, they are always something to consider. thanks for the…
Hey guys! I just finished UV mapping a mech here and I got a weird surprise in this area: As you can see, those ring sections are mapped flat on the UVs, but the texture's getting bizarrely stretched on them and I'm not sure what's up. I'm pretty new to Maya, so I have no idea what might have caused this. Any ideas you…
So I found this concept art for a Sci-fi hallway and I really liked it. I think its the neon lights that attracted me but whatever. I plan on texturing soon so I figured I would post a WIP occlusion shot of it before I get into making the textures. What do you guys think of it so far? Any changes I should make before I…
Will do my best: 1. do not like the black background's hard edged border 2. do not see art on the very first page 3. standard blue scheme for links do not look very attractive on a portfolio 4. the lightbox popup doesn't center the enlarged images properly sometimes 5. not sure about the shawn kirsh, games, art etc... look…
Yeah... I worked on a project where we built our own engine. Never again.. It turned out very similar to yours, the project dragged on for years and we had a hard time attracting people. It was CONSTANT work for our main engine programmer. Once you have something to show it might get easier, but without offering any…
General public ftw! These aren't games, so people will be more likely to vote without looking to see what each software does. "Game Engine" is a pretty attractive buzzword. I voted for Designer too. I actually got it from my brother for christmas, but my video card died a week before, and this backup card doesn't do SM3.0,…
It seems to me that he's probably making IMVU a nice bit of money and since they aren't technically liable for his misdeeds they aren't in a hurry to get rid of him. Or maybe he is a IMVU employee or connected to one and it's their sneaky way of attracting customers and making more money without "actually" breaking the…
Schools that attract good students are always going to be great, there's competition between students and they help each other learn more. I was seriously thinking about going to gnomon for a while, when they only had 2 major course, the place seemed awesome, but I really couldn't afford and and rent. It was the only place…
These two I like: the first one makes me think of Mirror's Edge in the favelas and the second has a good jawline and nose, they're a little big, which suits the character. I worry about drawing overly attractive women, I kind of want to see more ugly/realistic women in games, there's enough ugly men - not that she's ugly.…
