Probably depends on what company you work at, but I personally feel like game development will always more closely resemble the software development culture (since that is what it is anyways) and not some dramatic hollywood/music industry culture. There are exceptions to the rule; like Notch's ridiculous mansion and party…
How Dare they contact YOU and expect an unpaid art test for a freelance contract?! This is comedy gold. But I'm so happy to hear that you avoided them, *phew* If they have the balls to say such things to us, I don't see why we can't install steel plates of our own and give them a taste of their own medicine. I understand…
Funny, I never got that impression you mention in your last paragraph, Sandbag. What I got from it was the way things are done now, are much more elaborate and thought out NOW because 'back then' there were bigger fish to fry. In fact, Halme went out of his way to say that other forms of art direction are also good and…
Hello again! Again, been working hard on my character model so my time to work on the assets are lacking. Anyhow, my task for this week was to create wooden bins of apples, fish and clothing. So far, I've only worked on the apples and will finish everything by this between Monday and Tuesday. Here's what I've worked on so…
This will obviously have an impact on artists - so of course some of the people involved will be artists, just doing their best to do what they've always done. And while I appreciate and respect Pior glancing over this portion - I'm gonna disagree with your last bit. Like Pior said, it's subjective, but this is not like…
I was the character artist for this map, Winter Peak on SteamVR Home. For those unfamiliar, its basically a "home map" or landing zone for when you're in VR on Steam, where you can access your games etc. All the assets are also available as an asset pack so community users can mix and match to make their own maps :) Had a…
Dovetail Games' brand new TrainSim 2 Team is now ramping up to deliver the next generation of train simulation to create an amazingly realistic and immersive experience for our train hobbyists. We are seeking to recruit an amazing Lead Artist to drive the quality and artistic vision of our next generation Trains product…
Hehe thanks Blade :) Squeezing in a Greentooth is always good fun :) So, after doing some work for third parties I thought it would be fun to come back to more public workshop stuff. I have been thinking for a while about various ways to "think outside the workshop box" ; basically, identifying ways in which the art…
in all honesty, i found Mari to be a very useful tool. the projection tools have always felt more robust than anything out there. i haven't had the chance to try out Mari 2 yet, but i will be over the next couple of weeks. if the layers are as powerful as i've heard then you're certainly on to a winner. i feel though that…
I used to fight in muay thai bouts when I had more time to train and such, but a few important notes that helped me become and stay super lean: Exercise: Well duh :P just try to stay away from slow, long jogs and such. I used to measure my workout by how out of breath and how sweaty I was after 5 min. Chill out for a bit,…
