Re: 2D skill levels required for the 3D Artist
I think to a certain extent it really boils down to exactly what your goals are, and what type of work you're doing. To me, it seems much more important for character artists to have a very solid knowledge of 2d, drawing, anatomy etc, than it would for someone who is doing weapons or props for instance. That is not to say… -
Re: environment uber shader request?
Hi there, here a test I did with both lovely shaders from Brice. The brdf has been assigned to all props on ground while blender one has been used , as expected , for ground. During texturing and maps assignments, I only ended up with same bugs as Hugo anytime I mapped a specular map. Never had the bug dealing with… -
Re: What's the most important for being a character artist?
One thing you could do, is depending on what style/level of characters you have in your current portfolio, you could apply for positions in companies that do not need the kind of requirements that say naughty dog requires of their character artists. As in if you were applying for a company that does children's animations,… -
Re: Village Environment (WIP)
Little bit less pretty screenshots today, took a step back and started focusing on the bigger picture/figuring out how far I can reuse my assests and how many more building pieces I'd roughly need. Also possible room for expansion on the exterior. Did a really small quick test on how I might possibly sprucen up the cobble… -
Re: Facebook buys Oculus VR
I agree with Pior, with big money comes big mouths and I have a hard time wrapping my head around that people go to college to learn how to talk like that. Just so they can fill out press releases with that kind of garbage and there are people that think those skills are valuable and pay those people really well. But at… -
Re: Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2-Texture & Shaders!
Thanks Lt_Commader! I appreciate your consideration of the texture work because people tend to "simplify" or undervalue the textures ...for me, some meshes wich are totally "a mess" or very poor in details(if you know what I mean) can improve thousand times with a very good texture or vice versa, If you have a really… -
Re: the Art in 3d Art?
There's artisanship and art, and within art you have fine art and commercial art; i.e. art that's created with the intention of making a sale. Most games are commercial. Only few game devs can make games not caring for their games financial success and just let the dev cycle follow a grand artistic vision that doesn't care… -

Re: Driving to a studio to apply in person - Good idea, bad idea?
I'm just here to blow a little burst in the bubble sorrounding Arch Viz. I'm currently working as an intern at an Arch Viz/Visualization firm and I've been there for the last 2 years. First things first, you are not an architect.. You are a 3d craftsman just like any game artist. Neither me or my coworkers are forced to… -
Re: Zbrush 4r7 Discussion
I test drive mudbox every couple of years to see how it is going and every time I do I come away with an appreciation for how quick zbrush is, even on average machines. A simple thing like going up and down in sub levels can be a real chore in other software. I give part time instruction and atm my 4th year students are…
