How should I move forward to improve?
Hello everyone! Something's been bugging me since the start of the year, I feel like I'm getting nowhere as an aspiring 3D artist, specializing in environment. My ever dream is to work in the video game industry as a 3D environment artist, I mostly do stylized art as it's the one that really fascinates me. Just a short… -
Re: A Question on 3D Artist Job Openings
Work With Indies job database. I've gotten at least one art test from this site. https://workwithindies.com/categories/art-animation?fbclid=IwAR1J6AOPZuGTpCg3ICj4wLkwTyS_rxoYMCLfyK65tazLgAqO7f_VZKvP0KM -
Re: How to know when you are ready to apply?
I think unfortunately it’s a risk of any application. I once went to a recruitment evening, followed by application and job interview, only to be offered a salary that didn’t cover my living costs especially in the location. I had to turn it down. Most times applying for a job isn’t that time consuming, and if you don’t… -
Trouble breaking into the industry
Hey everyone, I don't post much here, more of a lurker than anything. I feel like I am missing out on something key in breaking into the industry. Back in 2016 I had about three interviews and landed a month work experience/internship at a small games studio, but since then everything has been silent. There are no art… -
Re: What Could Recruitment/Staffing Companies Do Better?
Personal opinion third party recruiters are in 99% of cases pointless and a waste of time for artists. Recruiters can be a ambassador for the candidate, but that's what your portfolio is and its more transparent than what someone might claim about you. My girlfriend, as a producer, was headhunted by a good recruiter, who… -
Back-2-Back Art Test Survival
I should count my blessings here that I'm still competitive on the market, but to anyone who's had to deal with back to back art tests during a season of interviews, how much (qualitative) time are ya'll apportioning to them while you're already working? I feel as if the only way to assuage my anxieties about meeting the… -
Re: Character Art Test Question
Thanks @Bobby_the_Goblin , really appreciate the kind words! I've seen other people posting their art test products before and have found seeing what people can achieve in certain timelines useful. So, I figured I'd share mine if others did as well @Maned_Wolf I couldn't agree with you more. From the other art test… -
Re: Should I leave my current studio?
I would. I'm in my early 30's. I'll be blunt a bit because I felt like I had a similar issue. This is just my perspective, maybe just the way I see it here in the US. Just work at a AAA studio. That's pretty much it. Or a well-known studio. It could even be a contract gig for a year. Environment art or any role similar. Be… -
Re: Art test question
It depends.. It should be clear that this is a standard art test given to many people and the asset should reflect it's purpose. In the past I also requested all models and textures for me to be able to check everything in detail. But here in Germany you (the one giving out the art test) never have the copyright on the… -
Re: Moving abroad to persue career
From my experience if I recall, job applications that required Bachelor's degree were found in Germany, mostly. But even this was very minimal, other countries do not ask for such. OP I get what you are talking about , I was also in a country with no 3d industry and I was sending my portfolio abroad to different countries,…
