Re: Questions about starting out as an Environment Artist
Adam summed things up pretty succinctly, so I won't go into any further details, but I'll try to answer kevingamerartist's last question re: explaining workflow process in an interview. I've had a few interviews where I've been asked hypothetical questions about how I would tackle a given task. I think this is more or less… -

Re: What online courses/3D atelier are recommended?
Courses with known artist are in my opinion not really the best starting point. You pay a big sum for the name and the AAA-techniques that you anyhow can't comprehand as a beginner. I've seen so many beginners struggling in such courses, falling behind and missing out on the actual key points and basically getting only… -
Re: [Portfolio] Elliott McSherry, Environment Artist
My main concern is your use of color in your scenes, even though you have some color in the textures they don't pop.

Re: OverDose - Shameless Self Media Pimpage [id tech 2]
I think your approach is spot on. Boldy differentiating your materials is an excellent place to start working on a texture. All those warms and cools are your best bet at making a rich texture. However, I would say this is just the start- for here you`ll want to reign in all those extreme values. working with solid colors,… -
Re: I need your wisdumb!
I'm 32 married, have a kid and in a pretty stable job, I'd still take a calculated risk but not blindly. I'd be thinking of back up plans and what-if the whole way.

Re: Elf [Character]
PyrZern : Thanks! I try to keep everything in a single mesh as it's easier bake and to deform when animated. But there are stuffs like the stocking suspenders (not sure if it's the correct word) and the elbow guards that would save me triangles if they are separated meshes and just intersecting geometry. Hands and feet are… -
Re: Should companies figure out a different approach to the MMO?
People tend to have a romantic relationship with their first MMO, and for a large number of people WOW was their first MMO. Marketing has had a negative effect on MMO's. All the big MMO's that have come out are WOW clones because they want to steal the user base and make it easy on the people who don't like change. When… -
Re: So You Want to Work in the Video Game Industry

Re: Game Dev Schools - What would you change?
I'm done with a programming degree in about a week. Never went to a game college for art, but I tried this game and simulation programming degree program in the hopes that it would be like a comp-sci degree with an emphasis on how to make programs efficient for simulation purposes. yeah that wasn't it. In my opinion any…
