**Quasi tangent/rant Warning** First: I think this is a failure of imagination and bigger-picture thinking. What is going on here has very little to do with America's "go-getter" attitude(which can only be a good thing, btw) and much more to do with an entitlement attitude, and the fact that we're all nothing more than…
You'll notice that people aren't commenting as much anymore. I'm going to make a comment about why. I'm not saying this to be a jerk, so I hope you're open to the following: People were trying to point out the problems in your piece earlier (which is mostly the approach on the texture) and you just kept going ahead without…
One more thing to keep in mind is that it can be best to stick to a standard texture size. Most people understand this as a rule but don't understand the logic behind it. The way I understand it is that its easier to load and unload blocks of textures if they're the same size. Unless your using id tech5 which compiles all…
Game Industry and technology will never slow down. This is parts of business and the reason Autodesk keep releasing a new version of their entire software list every years. That is why everyone need to keep rushing, producing and learning. Well learning isn't bad. But we aren't machines and need to think life too. I come…
I've had a positive experience working with studio recruiters when I've had the opportunity. As far as agencies go I don't know any save for a few 3rd party recruiters that may find something freelance from time to time and usually for generalist positions as far as art goes. It is far more saturated for art positions…
I would like to learn how you clean and make tileable texture with as many channels as possible. For example something simple like a tree trunk. It is easy to capture. After it is exported from agis photoscan I Import it to maya and make a simple cylinder close to the trunk. Now it gets interesting... I can use maya…
I get that, but to be honest there are a million other little things like that that need to get done at most studios and even having a programmer do that task would mean diverting their time and resources from the other hundreds of things trying to steal their time. Things move really slow at most companies in general and…
tn for fast gaming monitor and as a fan of all things stereo: active shutter 3d surround... IPS for color accuracy... QHD on 3 27 inch displays for dense pixel resolution detail at desktop distances :s Till now???? from New Egg:…
I've been having loads of little problems just in the short time i've spent familiarizing myself with Quixel2. Like smart materials only loading 2 out of 4 layers, NDO not updating despite clicking the refresh button, Dynamask editor not applying the mask i choose despite processing something in the background, and i once…
I worked in motion graphics for several years while I was working on getting into the game industry, so I can relate to your situation. The option came up after I graduated school to either attempt to find a game job out of state or get a local gig doing something not entirely related to games. The school I went to didn't…
