Hi I have a few questions about modeling. Currently I'm doing some environment props and targeting a developer that makes Nintendo DS games. I have searched through some of the threads that have information on the DS specs. From these threads I decided to keep my props under 256 tris probably around 64 or less, of course…
Thanks for elaborating Lombos, I'm enviornment art mainly, however creatures are something I'd like to do when environment is better. I like your approach with additional reference, I'll being do that more (what usually happens is google search: some reference, find other pictures.. ADD... try to refocus... more ADD.. how…
Starting with basics before moving into more complex scenes definetly helps. If you can't deal with 2 of them then trying more will just add to the stress!

The majority of the reel showed of modeling, while solid, was also pretty simple. The textures were fairly bland and uninteresting. Its not that you did a bad job on…
1) It was the dot-com boom of the late 90s, and I was working for a company specializing in business-to-business financial services. I was doing graphics for them - web stuff mostly. Then one of my good friends from art school called me saying he got a job at a game company as a character artist. They needed an environment…
Thought I would share my experience quitting a job to focus on 3d. I was still in college at the time of this so it is a bit different but still figured I would share. Near the end of college I got an internship at SOE for 3 months working on EverQuest 1 which just had its 10th birthday. It was the only internship spot…
