I know where you're coming from Exroath. I have a four year degree. One of my last required courses was called "Career Skills"; it was meant to help us get our portfolios polished, train us for interviews, and generally prepare us for the business end of a career as creative professionals. The "professor" that had been…
Another endorsement for the writing things down. I create lists of things that have to be done in the day, that would be nice if they get done but the world won't end if they don't, then cross one by one. I do the same with projects: It's just series of small tasks I work through. My writing setup it far from fancy, a pen…
Sup guys, I’ve lived here in San Francisco for the better part of 3 years now. Recently I’ve been looking for a new place in the city and have come to realize housing in this area has become pretty difficult over the past couple of years. It seems like now a day the most efficient and affordable way to do it is to find 2…
Hello guys and gals! I just thought i'd spread the word of this awesome project underway at Landslide Studios in the UK. I'm currently a student of Games Art at the University of Teesside in the Northeast of England, on the same grounds as Landslide.

Thanks to everyone who has given feedback so far. It's been great getting everyone to post and interact with you guys. This week, the students are breaking their blockouts into simple, modular pieces and props, and then bringing those into Unreal and placing them. They're also starting to do the high poly model of their…
@ S_ource - if your a student, go for amazing and add all the detail you can! Effective detail = better portfolio! In production your expected to do top notch looking stuff unless told other wise. The pros will show you tricks on how to add more in less time when you have a job. Till then, you go the extra mile as a…
Hi, I'm a student with 7 months experience now using 3ds Max 2012 (free student edition). I thought Iray was awesome, awesome enough that I now have an Nvidia Geforce 560ti 2GB. Though, I'm having problems with Iray, such as getting artifacts or grainy-ness in renders. :poly127: You can see in this 2 minute render here >…
Hey guys, FZD student here and I was just going to share a bit of what I know about it. First its completely separate from the school. The first few days was a bunch of our grads posting stuff to there and making it to the featured list (which caused a stir) but that was because we're the ones that follow feng's stream the…
