@Taylor Brown thanks, I posted the images below. @andrecastel Thanks for your comment. Gives me a better perspective of what the actual session is like and how much feedback you can expect. I had a one-on-one call with GAI's manager recently it sounded like they had tried to address that by hiring on someone available part…
@Biomag There's definitely a lot to consider. Thanks for posting your thoughts on both of them. Hearing your experience with them both is helpful. I'll think it over during the coming months while I progress through the tutorials, and start to post some work here. As per zachagreg's advice I sat down today and wrote a…
I attended GAI for a course and I highly recommend that program. Granted like any pathway you get out what you put in. I've seen amazing improvement from artists as well as amazing arguments arise from people being too thickheaded and prideful to be able to learn and take critique well. As far as BIGTIME's concerns and…
@Beton_Brut I get what you mean, when you say you don't want to spend your supposed to be working time on learning the processes behind things. I get it but it is part of the process, none of the time is wasted though. It just requires a bit of a change of thinking. Growing as an artist is just part of actually being an…
@Taylor Brown Wow, thank you for the resources and advice! @zachagreg tomorrow I'll have that sitdown with myself to plan out some milestones and which cheap or free tutorials/resources I think can get me there. I'll post what I come up with. Thanks for the response.
@zachagreg thanks again. I'm going to try and finish something all the way through the pipeline in the coming weeks on my own and using tutorials. I'll post it in the relevant forum and start that thread. I hit a snag today trying to bake in Substance Painter. Tomorrow I'll try and resolve it by remodeling, googling, and…
@garcellano thanks, I was looking at Josh Lynch's mentorship as an option a little later. The procedurals on your Artstation look pretty cool! @BIGTIMEMASTER you're right, having a big price tag on something can breed the fallacy of thinking it must be worth that much to you. I wonder about how much that influences my…
I used 3DMotive back then. Their tutorials helped a lot. Never tried out Pluralsight or GAI's Environment Bootcamp. I did sign up for Josh Lynch's Substance Designer Mentorship, back in December 2017, through my work. There's really no right way to do it, because any avenue you choose can easily help you out. You're…
@zachagreg thanks for taking the time for a very thorough response. I'm glad to hear the instructors have high expectations and will hold you accountable. Also, as a novice I don't know what I don't know, so having someone give their guidance really helps. I'm also finding that tutorials do a good job of running you…
