ugh, its shit like this that makes me glad I've never set foot inside a post secondary with all their weaslish ways. If I was a student I would rather hit up a place like gnomon or fullsail to get some good learnin' instead of those schools who market to the general public. I remember the day I told my dad that a college…
Yes, your topology is going to be like this when you have areas of contrast between high-segment curves and very sparse geometry. What you have is on the right track, but you have a redundant edge loop around the border of the top of the hole. It's doing nothing as it's on a flat surface an doesn't affect the…
Does anyone know why basically any base color/albedo gude says asphalts including old/worn ones base color should be darker than any random grass/ foliage albedo and yet I see it every day that a grass is usually darker through a day until late afternoon at least toward the sun only where we se lots of grass translucency/…
dunno, i'd go for the HDRI-enhanced render if you can be bothered. that will pop next to the average model and work well for convincing a producer every time. at the end of the day you are hired as a make-stuff-look-cool-person and who knows when your knowledge of bending a renderer to your will will come in handy later…

Ohh.. i didn't mentioned: i'm from europe and i was assuming something like "certified schools" for a big deal of areas and also 3D exists for other countries, especially the U.S. ; but it seems one can do a lot without proper training/education/qualification there but has to deal with any consequences like not finding…
Simple answer, ask your GP. You can trawl the web all day and find 100 things that are at your workplace that will give you cancer, the internet is EXTREMELY unreliable when looking for medical advice and warnings. Speak to your local GP (general practicioner, or doctor) and they will give you the best advice. On a slight…
as for the claim that this suit is damaging to the VR industry as a whole i am wondering what the market share of oculus might be these days? they were obviously the pioneers and i have an earlier dev unit of theirs here but in the last year or more all i've heard about is the vive as the system to beat (and PS VR for mass…
Judges are a bout to submit their judgements & we will be revealing the verdicts within the next week or two if extra formatting is needed. They still have a few days left to finish it up for those that need to format their deliberations. Exciting to see the results, this was a blast & i am of-course still working on mine…
Welcome to Polycount dude. You should definitely choose a specific area you want to specialize in. Most studios won't be looking for a guy who can do environments, characters and animation (I'm sure its a bonus if you can do all three really well). But if you want to do characters, just focus on characters. Another bonus…
