Alrighty. Here's my two cents/oppinion. Sorry if I ramble, this turned out longer than I expected. I don't want to quote things so... Attitude/Motivation: It seems like your attitude is kind of already self defeating. If you're going to follow tutorials with the assumption that you cant get much out of them, then of-course…
schools are for chumps, grab some tutorials and bust ass for a year or two and you'll be far better than what comes out of those schools! Also this is the most important part make sure to post on polycount and get your work critiqued!
You really should consider eat3D, 3dmotive or one of the other training sites, for 20-50 dollars a month you can gain access to their entire library of tutorials of pretty high quality. Trust me, the more you follow the tuts the more adept your mind becomes at soaking in that info and keeping pace with the instructor.…
The vast majority of those game programs are just a ploy to get your federal aid money. They just try to push as many students through their program as quickly as possible and collect the federal aid without caring one bit for giving you your money's worth. They don't care about your success, just generating profit. You're…
TLDR: 200,00$ for learning game art?? I'm not sure if you know the average salary of an environment artist, but you would be paying that loan off forever. I think school is more of a start-up and a motivator, nothing more. So spending that much money on school is probably the dumbest thing you could do. I went to a game…
I see what you did there! I hate you too! <3 My 3D teacher was actually my graphic design teacher xd, but yea I don't want to get personal, but my parent's house isn't an option due to past experiences. I also want to add something else, I'm pretty bad at self teaching with things I'm not familiar with. For example, I've…
Let me just start this off by saying I hate you. I hate you so much. Take all that money you're going to be spending on school and spend it on DVDs and tutorials. Get a Gnomon subscription ($500) and an Eat3D subscription ($400) and just lock yourself away in your parent's house for 1-2 years. Browse polycount and set your…
I simply cannot stay at home because my mother has a history of physical violence towards me over my career choices in life. Not only that, I suffer from severe depression due which increases with my mother's presences and decreases when I'm away from her. The only way I can stay home and work would mean I would have to…
Thanks for all the replies, I'm sorry I can't do a decent quote, as I'm not sure if there is a multi-quote function. So I'm gonna go in and quote each thing myself and hope for the best. >.< Thanks, I'm will need all the luck I can get. Most of the tutorials I have followed around are free ones and aren't very good at…
