Re: POLL: 1st Industry Job in Last 2 Yrs, do you hold a Degree?
I'm in a situation similar to what most people have already mentioned, seems to be a trend. I went to uni for 3 years with the thought of getting a degree to help my chances in a job search and basically just help me into a more focussed study. Well, the first half happened, the 2nd not so much. The course I was shoehorned… -
Re: 3D art and high school
If you mean good foundation in ART, I get that. But I have to think, and I can't verify this after the fact, there's a big difference between a community college that has a vague game design course that actually teaches low-level Maya modeling (extreme example here) vs. An expensive uni where one of your professors was the… -
Re: life drawing thread
Jes, Tom and Bladder, yeah she was kindof masculine looking. The short hair combined with the strong facial features made her looking like a girlish man on some of the other student drawings too. But it's also true that I have been having a tendency to masculinize female headshapes recently... which sure doesn't help. The… -
Re: What program?
[ QUOTE ] Im pretty amazed tulk that there are companies that would hire someone to design their game who had zero experience. If I owned a studio, you couldnt pay me enough to do that. [/ QUOTE ] Well, much like a junior artist wouldn't be creating the full art style, they'd be working off of other, more senior artists… -
Re: degree vs. portfolio, "falling back on a degree"
If your speaking about commercial art, then you have a valid opinion as the skillset is more in reach to learn immediately. However, if you are speaking about fine arts as well, then your talking out the rear. How do you show the emotion of languish? How do you convey a poem in light? Learning how to communicate your ideas… -
Question From a New Lecturer: What Makes a 3D Course Excellent?
I am structuring a new approach to the 3D side of a BTEC Level 3 Games course. I would love to hear from the community: hobbyists, students, those in industry, other lecturers and so forth, as to what they believe is the best method to learning 3D from scratch in a classroom - or their experiences in doing so. -
Re: In desperate need of help
what taylor said, your portfolio is super jack of all trades, and doesnt show mastery in any category. your environment work is not up to industry standard quality, and neither is your character work. Your material work is not super refined and EVERY material art student has a bricks, planks and rock material. those are… -
Re: I'm getting a mac book pro i7 13 inch
A 2Ghz dual core mobile chip is seriously old stuff now, and the OS that shipped on those machines was 3 or 4 generations ago (they either shipped with Tiger (10.4) or Leopard (10.5), my white MB 13 C2D shipped with Tiger back in 06'), Now we're on Lion which is 10.7 and it just wasn't built with 5 year old laptops in… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
So I finally finished the game. I ignored all posts about the ending so that my views wouldn't be altered and I have to say the ending really was over the top crap for me. It just ends so quickly and there's so many questions. I watched all the videos like 10 reasons we hate the ending, the 35 minute explanation of why it… -
Re: Sometimes, life gets in the way - but...
Welcome back danshewan! I remember your name and avatar :icon60: I had some simpler problems but here it goes: In my country, you need to complete a 4 year degree if you want to spend 5 months instead of 15 months in military service. I didn't and still don't want to join the military at all for various reasons. I was a…
