Re: RGCA - An Alien Minute - all 3 categories - Stefos
Reply by Stefos · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Reallusion Game Character Animation ContestWithout doubt one of the most fascinating horror science fiction movies of all time has to be ALIEN, actually I personally think "Alien" is a little weak for a title but hey the movies were great and a game franchise that never really reached to the top as it should of. I imported both Alien and the Predator models using… -
Re: The Paying To Work For Free VFX Business Model
only true if you're from one of the "horror story" art schools. A good art school should give you more than roto cleanup skills ;) On the other hand, is it really worth getting into the industry to do roto cleanup? Sure some people start as runners. But heck, if you wanna be a modeller, stay at home, work on modeling and… -
Re: Houses - Rent or Buy?
Enslaved to a bank? I think that's overstating the case just a wee bit. When we bought our house, I didn't have an extra $300,000 stuffed under my mattress, so we took a 30-year mortgage at 4.75%. If we take the full term to pay it, it'll run us more than half a million, but that's present value dollars. Come 2039 when we… -
Re: Thoughts on job recruiters and job search techniques?
We have many resources here for job searching. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Game_Industry#Job_Searching I've gotten all my jobs by directly contacting the companies. It has worked the best when I've known someone already working at the company. I've talked with and worked with recruiters, but their competence varies… -

Re: The Amazing Spiderman (Movie)
Very minor spoilers: There are several scenes that are a little bloody, for instance spidey gets slashed by the lizard and we later see his wounds. I know a lot of scenes with the Lizard freaked kids out in the theater, especially when he first regrows his arm. Also, some scenes with the lizard are shot almost like a… -
Re: Is the game industry really that bad to work in?
I can't imagine working in a different industry. I've only worked at three companies so far, and I think I may have just been fortunate in which ones I've ended up at. But crunch has always been reasonable, and I've never felt burnt out. I know there's horror stories out there, but the game industry has been very good to… -
Re: Why realistic graphics matters to games
In response to @slipsius Yeah I realised this but could not think of a title that would convey the content clearly in a cleaver way. Will gladly take suggestions. This may be me getting tired at the end of the day, but I am having difficulty understanding what you mean by this. Yes this is true, but it's cartoonish styled… -
Re: artofcharly W.I.P
Yep, I finished him! Birth of an angel ... 3030 year. When all the angels in heaven fell and there was nothing left except emptiness and Metatron on Heaven - the new God, the true God decided to bestow salvation angels and create young child, which could save the angels and all of mankind. In appearance - it was vile… -
Re: It's the college requested as an Environment Artist
I honestly find 4 years of college to be extremely scary. Schools charge a lot of money per year, and they're not responsible for landing you a job when the program is over. Probably the smartest thing I've done in my life was when I did quit a 3 year game program. I still have debt now but it's only $2000 worth and it's…
