Re: Art Tests : How much time to spend?
Anthony raises some good points. A portfolio of failed art tests is just FAIL. That said if you got an interview out of it I think it's acceptable to use it in your portfolio. If you're just starting out then maybe use it. I tend to take it on a case by base basis. Use your friends and family. Ask them to rank your… -
Re: Should I Go Back To College?
I'll put in my two cents. I went to the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I got a job weeks before graduating and also had an internship. Now, as much as I want to say this was because of my skills, it was really about connections. My teachers had great connections and were able to get me in touch with recruiters at bigger… -
Re: Using video games to teach...
Digital Game Based Learning (DGBL) Sir if you wish to ask our opinion about it, you really didnt have to write entire chapter to ask this. In my Opinion (IMO) <.< One should really understand how general game programming works before even considering taking ref from the original game. It is understood that we indeed take… -
Re: Young Genie/Gypsy Girl Model
My two cents: The tri count is more important than face count. What count are you aiming for? Completely my personal opinion, I would try taking out some of the edges in the torso, as its really dence compared to the rest of the body. And add some where the polys are long. especailly if your going to use a sculpting… -
Re: No Paycheck, what a great way to start the weekend
Remember a while ago about that kid who was a animator who posted on his "blog" about the state of the company etc and how he got fired over it? (were talking a few months ago and it was posted here and was a big deal) In retrospect this is a lump in a sea of shit, but unfortanetly that lump can hit a fan very easily if… -
Re: [Portfolio] Sam Roberts - Modeler/Texturer
Sean has mentioned a fair bit of inputs but here's my .02 cents. It never hurts to hunt down some more references for say the gun handle as it will show how much more diffuse and contrast there should be. The gun itself it good, but you could wear out the edges where most contacts would be made. The pump jack in itself is… -
Re: So I'm a shit artist...(Mentor Wanted)
Thanks for the plug Satoshi! Mike your work looks solid. You just don't have that much work. I don't think a mentorship with me would help you at all for the style you're working in. It seems like you have the skills and understanding down. Just need more samples and larger samples. Maybe try setting a schedule for 1-2… -
Re: Archer Assassin
I guess you made it so muscles' fibers can be seen through a skin, but then i must point something out pectoralis major muscle originates from the clavicle, sternum and some rib cartilages, so there is no way your pectoralis would sack like that but if he is so thin, i'd say anorexic, then why he even have these muscles… -
Re: Demo Reel 2009~
Nice reel! Couple of crits. -The wire frame on the mars fighters and engineer is really hard to see with the texture on it. I suggest dropping the texture while you show the wire. -The little scene of boxes and stuff. At first glance, i wasnt sure why you had two things on screen at the same time, and having the whole… -
Re: Needs advices about portfolio and career
For what it's worth here's my two cents. You say you want to approach this as if you were working for a AAA company. Then the first thing you need to do is decide which area you will specialize in, do you want to be a character artist, an environment artist, or an animator? Once you decide on that then focus your portfolio…
