Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
Oh well I didnt mean it was a bad example of someone getting where and what they wanted. For that I think he is a great example and something to strive towards. I just meant along the lines of it being a bad example of someone who wanted to be great at something working hard and eventually becoming great at it. As although… -

This is possibley the WORST example. Arnold is NOT a great actor, he is a famous one. Arnold is not a great politician, he is a famous one. There is a HUGE difference between being great and being famous. -

I don't think its that people are saying uni is useless, I certainly wouldn't, I had some fantastic tutors who often come here. The problem is they don't make all the rules and there are still academic traditions that might not fit so well in today's world as they used to. The thing is, a lot of people are finding ways to… -

I agree with what you are saying but i think what Vio is trying to say (or at least what i would say after attending the same Uni) is that the specialisation doesn't really happen early enough. For example in third year i've still had to do skinning, animation, offline lighting + rendering and a ton of report writing… -
Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
I think the point was a little different than what I believe you took it as. It's about visibility. Just submitting your folio to game studios is the very least you can be doing. Getting noticed is the key, IMO, to getting hired. For example, taking part in communities like Polycount where industry artists hang out is… -
Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
I'm not quite sure that is accurate Fuse. I know this sounds lame but Arnold Schwarzenegger is a prime example of someone who has pushed to be a great athlete, and then a great actor, and now a great politician. Maybe he is just genetically wired for it, but I believe it's more a case of hard work and passion. Without… -
Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
nevertheless, it's a widely reputed that when he was a child in school, he wrote on the classroom board 3 things. 1. to become mr.olympia (now known as the arnold classics, after him) 2. to become a famous actor 3. to become a politician he decided from an extremely young age that he wanted to be someone who could make… -
Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
It seems like the word talent and its meaning is being hi-jacked. It can also mean what your current level of skill is, not something your born with. If someone does a better model than me and I say they are more talented, it means at the moment they have more skill. Not he would do better and find it easier to do better… -
Re: It seems to be impossible to find a job as a Modeler in this industry
This may sound like a stereotype for studios right now but it is actually very difficult to see the good artists through the masses of no effort crap folios out there. More people than ever now want to get into the game industry. Lack of employable people isn't the same as lack of artists, I can pull 20-30 great artists… -

11 posts and no portfolio link? :\ Art isn't really a technical thing, at least in my view. Sure, there's a technical side to game related art and being proficient in that side of things is always great, but really it's all about creating pieces that have some "soul" in them. How a studio quantifies that is up to them, so…
