About Fire Totem is a new team with a commercial focus, looking for potential team members to join as starting collaborators. The team is still forming and currently we are in heavy need of 2D/3D artists and animators. It is lead by the lead programmer. Please bear in mind that our intentions are that of a commercial team…
Thank you so much everyone! This is very valuable info!! @PixelMasher don't worry, I would rather the blunt and unsugared truth than sweet words, its the only realistic way to improve :) For specialising, I haven't delved any deeper into Photogrammetry, however since I do Photography on the side now and then (paid and…
Epic kobayashi link Muzz...ta for the share Ma.k, a very potted history....Ma.K started as a serialisation in Hobby Japan called SF3D a sort of comic strip come sci fi adventure played out with stills featuring powered armour suits kitbashed from several other sources , which then had the designs converted into model kits…
Given your location and the need to have a degree in order to work abroad you should probably get a degree that most people see as legitimate and will help with the visa process. Architecture will help GREATLY when doing environment art so doubling down on that would be a pretty big bonus. Of course they are probably going…
Along time ago I would have asked a question regarding how can I find employment as an artist in a game company. It's a question I have asked many developers and directors which have given me similar or slightly different answers. However, after trying all their suggestions, putting out 300+ resumes, going through 10 major…
When i was in highschool i dedicated maybe 2 years (a long fucking time back then) to 3D modeling and worked on it like crazy even into my 1st year of college. Fast forward past school into the job market, and I somehow found myself as a 2D animator (???) instead of doing the 3D modeling I thought was my ticket. These days…
That threshold is only going to get older. There are anomalies at this stage in that computer gaming has only been around realistically for 30 years which means you have whole generations far beyond 30 that simply were not brought up on any concept of gaming before they found careers and hobbies of their own. Then social…
Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah I didn't want to deal with the headache of figuring out how to implement a search field. I don't think I have the time right now either :/ Ideally it would be nice for the indicators to update instantly, but as far as I know that requires the window to be reloaded/redrawn which could get…
@jaysonmtl Gotta say I'm a fan of wordpress. Though I have seen it nicely done before. Just make it a website and not a blog. @Zocky As someone who is running the Character Challenge every month, it's my duty to get artist's permission before running it. It is more professional that way. I mean, as a hobby, there's nothing…
It's honestly what most people who wind up in a rut over this sort of thing need to hear and understand from my point of view. Yeah, there are problems with the industry. With modern "society" and the job market in general. But for a lot of the situations people wind up in, responsibility falls on them. Pursuing any sort…
