Going to go buy Wahammer 40k at a local game shop tomorrow! Im so excited:) Weeeeeeee! Think Im going to begin with the classic space marines and orcs, probably just the Black Reach set, unless the salesman has his way with me:) Hopefully ill have some painted figures posted in my sketchbook later this week. Anyone here…
I wish that I didn't go to the game oriented school I went to. Looking back I should have continued to attend a local community college, and have a framework to be able to get a business/teaching type of degree. That way I have an option to have a better idea on how to start my own game company, or be in the right place to…
As far as the Dallas Game Development community goes, 3D Realms might as well not exist. They are off the radar of most of us who have any level of involvement in local community things (like the IGDA, Guildhall, events at UTD). As far as the comment about Broussard being a perfectionist ... which is likely what is keeping…
College is expensive, computer art's course are 90% of the time out dated (and the good ones are even more expensive), and college isn't a necessity in CG or game art careers. I suggest you do take some traditional art classes at a local community college (painting, sculpture, life drawing). If your really good at drawing…
@CrackRockSteady Thanks for your tips :smiley: @NikhilR I applied online in my 4th year got rejected and then applied again in my final year and somehow things worked out. No, there wasn't any requirement like that. The studio has foreigners and locals both and we converse in English. We do have Czech language lessons. I…
nice texture update. although i think your textures look uniformly desaturated/dirty. it may help make it more interesting to localize areas of grime, dirt etc while keeping some areas more fresh and new. anyways, i hope you dont mind another paintover from me because images tend to get the point across much easier than…
I'd say shop around, do a few tours around local places and see first hand. I never broke into the game industry but I'm slowly moving away from that dream as I love getting up, outside, moving about and enjoying more manual labour jobs rather than a sedentary job. I just recently got my second machine shop job and I'm…
Starting on Dec. 23rd, I'm driving to Cincinnati, Ohio (13 hours) for a vacation with my girlfriend's family. Plans are made to visit local attractions including the Zoo, and several art museums and galleries. I'm taking my sketchbook and several pens and pencils. Hope to practise some sketching and character concepts for…
if i see one more trailer that goes whooosh-CLANG over the top of slow-motion cuts, i am going to do something very, very naughty with this bottle of poison and a local pumping station. i've said it before and i'll say it again, if you can't make a 2 minute trailer out of your 90 minutes of film without it being totally…
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/unify-flip-normal-polygons This script can help find and flip faces, its handy for this kind of thing. You can also check on "2 Sided". Depending on how you are populating the branches there might be a way to limit the leaves local rotation. This is possible in particle view and…
