Congrats for the job! I landed my first video game job this year,age 22,in a AAA game so I was really stressed I could not be good enough because I'm the youngest but after 4 months here,I can tell you I feel like I'm not 22 and that everyone is the same age,if that makes any sense. I even know a lot stuff that most people…
First and foremost a good portfolio is necessary, having the degree is bonus candy against other's. Ever thought of part-time work while at uni? I work part time at a small studio managing graphic's & development while i'm at my uni course. Long hours, shit pay, lots of stress but i now have my foot in the door. Networked…
If you want to match the reference, I suggest you increase your contrast (increase the highlight crush also). Add some blueish atmospheric fog to the scene to add solid atmosphere. Also your scene is looking very bland and lacking some good shadows (especially your grass). You don't need such an intensive bloom, just…
Slow down... that is exactly what needs to happen here. I got together with some people and we decided to start putting together a prototype, so I got in a rush to get this character done. Now I am stressing and not learning properly. I think what needs to happen is a change in workflow. I was going from high poly to low…
Sorry if you already know this, but you don't need to right click. You can left click anywhere in the canvas that isn't the mesh and it will navigate. This does mean you have to move cursor off the mesh, but you don't have to go as far as the border. Also, depending on what hardware you have, it may be possible to map…
...I work horrendously long nightshift hours in a CG non related industry. So I've self prescribed a 'remedy' of sorts to forestall any loss of proficiency, real or imagined that may occur. Hence personal stuff (...passion projects) for me at least are pretty much crucial, not only as a viable avenue sharpening hard won…
Thanks for all the advice everyone, I feel a bit less stressed out then lol @Skulburn sounds like good info to me @PixelMasher, yea don't worry we aren't trying to do the entire thing in 1 release lol. It's going to be released in a series of phases. Going to go with MP first, then sections of the single player, all the…
I want to send out a great big heartfelt thank you to everyone who has personally reached out to me about my film "Then Meditative Coast." I'm glad that you're enjoying it and hope that it helps to lower your blood pressure in these stressful times that we live in. Please feel free to share the film with anyone who might…
Works like a dream. 50-60fps on my One S. Model's load perfectly, even tried my own for gits and shiggles. Will continue to stress test but can't find any faults, except when I export .obj's no matter what origin or rotation I put on the model in Max, it always loads the same orientation in the viewer and makes for…
Would I sell an idea for a butt load of money if it allowed me to walk away from it without financial stress for many years? Yes. Would I butcher the idea with my own hands at the pull strings of folks with money, continuously over time? No. If I'm going to do what you say for any extended period of time, it's going to be…
