Yeah as mentioned it might be worth talking to your boss about creating 2D formatted renders from your 3D work. Then you get to do the 3D you love while they get the format they need. I work for a company that creates 2D Flash/Illustrator type games and that's what I do. Sometimes they want something to "look 3D" sometimes…
Hey guys, so I need some helpful advice from anyone, but hopefully people who have experienced the same situation So in 1 month I will have been employed at a mobile game studio for an entire year straight out of college (woo!). It's been a great place, I love the people I work with, and I know we are a talented bunch that…
For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents: You're already making 3d artwork outside of work, so use that time to feed your passion for it. Don't give up on 3d since you love it so much.

You enjoy where you work, you have a company that seems to want to hold on to you (or at least, you're not disposable garbage to them). Not all folk are so lucky. I am not a social…
Personally I think you should just try to be patient and definitely don't risk a debate with your boss about it. The way I see it, is the hand held market is moving so fast and 2d will not always be the norm. The bigger picture is that your employed and the longer your there gaining new skills the better your credentials…
To keep it sweet and to the point (this is gonna be long :) ) - It's great that you have a solid investment in the company you work for, it's also solid that you all can voice your opinions... BUT... if you've done your part in letting the heads know that you are worried with the direction they are taking, and you can't…
