Hello. As a university student, I'm going on Erasmus project (a European Union project for students mobility across diferent countries). Me and three more classmates are going to study a semester on Wroclaw medical school next year. We are going from October to March. So, is there any polycounter that knows the city or…
Have you thought about studying in the UK? We welcome overseas students and the cost is lot cheaper than American Universities. Here is the showreel for the University of Hertfordshire, it was on the front of 3Dtotal last week. http://uhanimation.co.uk/2009/showreel-2d3dvfxgamesart-digital-animation/ some quotes from the…
Though I'm still a student, I've come across these issues when I try and tell people what I study: Guy: So what's your major? Me: Game Art and Design Guy: G..Gay Art? Me: VIDEO Game Art and Design I've learned to enunciate "Game" rather well when describing what I study. I take the Greyhound from time to time. Normally, I…
I agree with the suggestions here. Get some game ready stuff created and re-apply then! Look at the artists at the studios you are interested in. Try to find their junior or mid-level artists. If you can create what they have in their portfolio then you should apply. In terms of env art. The CG Student Challenge (or…
I think you can actually get a student license without a .edu mail as well. The way I had to do it is I asked my 3d animation profesor to contact Autodesk as a permission thing and they set up my college so you could use your student ID or something. It's a community college and people don't get student emails so that was…
A few thoughts: -The first thing to teach is navigation and the absolute basics of the UI. For Blender specifically one of the first things you should teach is that it's OK to delete anything/everything in the scene otherwise they'll be concerned about it breaking something. -For modeling start out teaching extremely…
If you're looking at a low budget then pick up blender and gimp. All the techniques you learn there will be transferable to other programs (Albeit the buttons do change) (And then sculptris for learning basic sculpting before saving to get zbrush :P) If you have some money, definitely worth grabbing PS, but no one really…
How about MODO Indie? I'm a full-time student and there's no way I can afford the full MODO. The 100K poly limit when exporting is a concern, as I need to be able to move my high and low polys between software, mainly for baking. I think MODO has a student version as well, but it's non-commercial and it has an annual cost…
https://www.gameartinstitute.com/ Not really a mentorship, but the guys behind this are pushing the students to build a community beyond the classes. Never before in my life I've gotten as much valuable feedback as through the last few weeks since I started a course there. Skutt is great as a teacher, but also the students…
We currently have a very talented composer, a writer, and an (Unconfirmed) UE4 Programmer. We are very serious about this project and dedicated to it. It is currently an unpaid hobby but we are looking to split the profit that the game makes with all team members equally. The game's name is Hexepta: Logic Hack, and is…
