I'm currently taking classes at CG Master Academy, right now it's in their 2D Foundation Design program but I am very interested in their 3D classes. I'd like to take the texturing classes they offer. But I would say try it out! It's been really good so far and I'm learning a lot! You should look at their student gallery!…
What would be a good idea, is for schools to have their students contact info available for mod teams. There are a lot of students at a lot of different schools that might have the time and energy to do work for mod teams. I know if I'd had mod teams approaching me earlier on in my time in school, I would have totally…
Hello! I am a student in my last semester of my AA in Game Development, and have been tasked with requesting feedback and critiques on my 3D models. I've linked to my portfolio, which I am currently still putting together. There are 3 major pieces that I've made in the time I've been in school, and am happy to receive any…
FYI My longest post on PC ever. Sorry in advance - OP I hope theres something useful in this for you. Im back in your thread and giving you my morning before breakfast is my way of saying ' I care '. Usually between 1 - 5 NEW students, per day come to me for random pieces of advice. Some from here @ PC , some from…
If it's just about obtaining the skills, you don't really need university. There are a lot of self-taught artists. I went to one of those private ones you mentioned (also in Germany) and here are my experiences: - it's really great for developing discipline and working in a team - you get instant help and feedback if you…
[ QUOTE ] At my school they kinda drilled into us early that everything has to be welded and airtight, because of the previous unreal engine lighting...and my furniture really showed that my mindset was still there when making them. Floating geometry, or geometry "snapped" to each other isnt bad! From now on I will be…
Ok going back to my original job story because xoliul wants it. So i was in uni one day and a friend asks me if i want a casual job making games for an entrepreneur, i was like that sounds awesome and so i got an interview there. So i go for the interview, and it ends up being this tiny one room office, but it was full of…
I'd be inclined to agree, but I think the OP is a student which implies they're young and probably of impressionable age so I suspect it's herd mentality opinion. @cturbo Cyberpunk's graphics, even if it released today, are objectively good among it's peers and there's a reason it's still used as a gaming benchmark 5…
Sorry, yes, Recent grads or current students. I missed the current students part, which was in the quoted text. A couple of the top 10 last year were still in school. One of them got the apprenticeship, went back to school and will be returning next week for a full time position. The other 2 (we gave the top 3…
My degree was packed into 21 months, so the last "year" before graduating was more like the last few months. Here's what I would recommend to anyone currently in that position: 1. Work all the time. You should be working more at home than at school. 2. Don't just work on school stuff. No one cares about your rigging…
