Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
Good question. It's the Famas F1, with that kinda magazine. It's been rather standard Famas, up to this point, in the block-in period. But now, if I am allowed to, comes the next step where some core details are applied. Nothing fancy like tiny scratches on the gunbarrel. But detail like the bolts. Sound good? :) Thanks… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
Thanks, man. I'm not picky, that's for sure. Willing to relocate. Do freelance/project work, even. Generally I am trying to get a job in the UK as that is where I currently am. (Has the benefit of me being able to come in for an interview) I've made a few attempts at targeted portfolios. Like the Lego example for instance… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
I haven't read the rest of the thread so some of this may have come up already. I also apologize if this seems brutal, I really am trying to help. Most of this is stuff I wish I heard when I was in your position. Location maters, a lot. Being close to an active development hub will greatly improve your chances of getting… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
Haha, dear lord this exploded all of the sudden. OK, current work = Crap. Throw in ditch, pour gasoline, ignite. That's been pretty well established with the repeated mention of harsh, but true. Now I just gotta figure out what to do, really. Having now scrapped it all, sorta wondering what I can do. Keep advice coming. I… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
My two cents, not about modelling but about your attitude in your posts. (this isn't meant to be an attack, but just some advice on how to present yourself more professionally.) Comments like "I feel like I'm walking cross a minefield so lead on. " & "Can't do anything right, can I? Heh. " are both troll-bait and come off… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
I'm not sure I follow, so if I really like fantasy I should make lots of fantasy scenes over a variety of scenes? The problem is you can't really afford to dedicate your entire portfolio to one job. Applying for 100 jobs may still not get you noticed by any of them so having a portfolio which has a variety of things seemed… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
I can't really offer much advise as I am a newbie and I haven't even tried to apply for a job as I am still working on my own portfolio to express my skills. I am also still learning but I suppose I've had the same experience as yourself in a way. Learning all this new stuff that comes with modelling and texturing and all… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
That is great news man really glad to hear it! I would recommend on starting with writing a story for your prop. Going back to originality, you want to make sure that you make your prop have that 'WOW factor'. Here is an idea for you to start off with, this does need to be your own vision though. Theme: Sci -Fi/Fantasy.… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
Hey man, best of luck in your job search. I think you are far enough a long now that you can definitely land a job if you keep working at it. One thing I don't understand is when people say they lost motivation. Maybe I'm just totally Obsessive Compulsive myself, but when it comes to something I truly love my my main issue… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
One thing nobody has mentioned here which i find really strange is that not to get too hell bent on getting a job purely as a game artist. If your really that keen to be a 3D Artist you can do things outside games.... Architecture (lots of money to be made there doing pre-visulization), You can work in 3D cartoons/ movies.…
