I run LifeIsStranfeFans.com, a fan site for the narrative-driven choice-based videogame Life Is Strange, developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Square Enix and we're currently running an Environmental Art Contest which I figured might interest some artists here. The top prize is signed art by members of the…
The tech artists in most demand or those who have a degree in Computer Science/Engineering (including Computer Graphics classes) but also have taken 3d art classes and have made indie/hobby games in their spare time. Of course, people like that are qualified to be pure engineers, especially graphics engineers, who get paid…
Hey Alander This is a common feeling for most people starting out in the industry, when your hobby becomes your job its hard to find time for yourself or personal development without feeling exhausted. the best thing you can do, is work new things into the daily work schedule. for example if your a generalist there's a lot…

This tells me you're probably good at managing your self, your time and your deadlines as well as solving problems on your own. All things that can be great selling points.

I don't think it's fair to call videogames, or any other recreational activity, addictive (which is what I was getting at with my earlier comment.) I really think people throw around the word 'addicted' far too easily. I spent hours last night (and the day before) playing a strategy game called Silent Storm. It's a game I…
Cheap: i'm a sr. systems engineer for various department of defence contracts, and have been for over 6 years years now. I certainly hope you are not inferring that I am a dumbass. I have used Ubuntu, and even passed a proposal to use it for a G4u file server/ftp for our desktop images. I'm obviously not alone in thinking…
Yeah I tend to get a bit detail fixated. My Modus operandi is do make an extremely high res model, render it out from different angles with good lighting, and use that as the base for the texturing. Some irritating UV stuff in areas that I just noticed (although they don't show up in play (eg the foot stretch UV at the…
i find that graphics really dont matter at all, there is the intial wow factor that lasts all of 5 mins, but as soon as you start playing your not really looking at the pores in the skin anymore, your just looking at movement. like when i seen screens of crysis i was blown away, but put in motion it just felt like every…
I use a mac for everything but 3d. Great platform, great computing experience - especially when combined with my iphone. But for 3d I still use a hand built pc. That's where developer priorities and resources are still focused, and that's where the best software still happens. Until I see developers spending just as much…
