I can hammer a nail it does not make me a carpenter, the difference between amateur and professional work is always evident. If clients can't make the difference they're in the wrong business, I have yet to see a graphic design or logo made by a non professional that does'nt scream amateurism. That quality comes with years…
This: "10. Creativity is subtraction. It’s often what an artist chooses to leave out that makes the art interesting. What isn’t shown vs. what is. In this age of information overload and abundance, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what to leave out, so they can concentrate on what’s important to them.…
I think it can be distracting, so artists who really want their brand marked into a piece somehow may create a 'stamp-like' symbol to represent them, and include it somewhere 'less' obvious, this can be both less intrusive to the scene, yet rewarding for the observer who are keenly looking at stuff and then realised it's…
@gnoop I really think the opposite way about Houdini. I feel it empowers the creative juices and opens the doors to new ways of doing things, even without using math or technical art to get there. Houdini can be as plainly creative as you want it to be; it just doesn't restrict your possibilities. I think it'd be unfair to…
Hey guys, I am super confused. I have reinstalled Quixel to try and fix this. I've tried rescaling my model. I've tried a bunch of stuff. My friend took my model and didn't get this error at all. So it's something to do with my Photoshop. I'm using Creative Cloud. I was initially using Photoshop CS5.1, but I switched to…
It's a fair question. All or Nothing Games started more on the creative end, so to that end it's probably best to say I'm a creative director for our project. At the moment, I don't presently have someone with sufficient time and ability to serve as a technical director. I had a few people involved with some more expertise…
Some of the blame can just as easily be placed on the employer for not keeping up their end of the deal. It is a business proposition you see. The previous company was looking for a candidate that met their criteria, and the employee was attracted to the company by certain benefits. The usual things like health insurance…
My big mistake was not doing any personnal stuff on a side and engaging too much thoughts and time into a studio game. I was strongly driven by 3 things: learning a lot new stuff, making cool project (in which I sincerely believed) and opportunities to prove myself. With time I've been learning less and less by doing what…
I definitely don't agree with teams for the Dominance War. You are making a single character and this is perfectly acceptable for a single artist. However, getting help with the concept phase of the competition would be fine as far as I'm concerned. I'm far from creative when it comes to these things and always get stuck…
Nevertheless, property law does not cover creative works. It only covers physical property. So, the canvas and paint you used to make a painting is protected. The digital photo you took of it is not. There is no law that grants the right to "intellectual property". It is a tool control public opinion and strengthen their…
