Re: Learning Japanese for playing games
mm i think the education of japanese through textbooks or 'apps' can be properly (and appropriately IMO) circumvented through the watching of animes and anime drawings. this, afterall, will give you the streetsmarts that will give you the edge in japan, vs the booksmarts and overtly formal method of speech gained from… -
Re: Questions about freelancing and mod project involvement
As others have already said, it's definitely not a needed padding on the resume. I had mod experience written on mine, and truthfully it was just overlooked nearly every time. That being said, it has definitely helped friends get jobs, so it is circumstantial. Personally, if I was tasked with hiring, I would most… -
Re: What do You Play Games For?
I guess you could call it escapism for me, but that seems like the wrong frame of mind. I'm not trying to leave my problems behind, I just have an insatiable curiosity to see what kinds of fictional worlds people can come up with. Like a sense of exploration, poking around the fictional world to see the sights, figure out… -
Re: Relocating to Portsmouth
haha gl with the move to pompey, I'm moving back down to Havant, a town near Portsmouth end of July :D Some things to know about Portsmouth..... It's one of the most densly populated cities in Europe It's home to one of the last few Naval bases in the UK, so there's a big maritime theme running through the city. The locals… -
Re: Dark Elf Sorceress
Hey looking like a great start but I also have a couple of crits. Satoshi already said the torso is long but the body itself is lacking the details of flesh, like SS or just overall skin color variation. The abdominals are a bit narrow, the ribs are a bit tall, theres a silhouette change from the ribs to the abdominals… -
Re: Max Script Question
I wouldn't want to work with max without my own scripts that I created over the years. It helped me migrate every time to a new installation of 3dsmax and speeds up my workflow immensely. Most scripts I write are about killing nagging steps that I hate enough to fix them, I like one button solutions were the script does… -
Re: new reel
Hito! Great stuff! But ya, I would agree you can ditch the B side stuff I think, for me personally, I would ditch the lisa death (it doesnt show weight very well. very light), and swap it out for the b side clip of the 1 guy with the 4 or 5 different animations going. The state machine setup clip youve got is decent. But a… -
Re: Questions about being a technical artist and going to school
FIEA is a Masters course, and you would need some sort of Bachelor's degree from any school before applying. There is a portfolio/code/writing review, and they only accept 50-60 students per year. The course lasts 16 months with the bulk of work taking place during the first 12 and last 4 are typically where people take… -
Re: Art Standards within an art department?
It all sounds perfectly sensible. Have meetings about it where you explain this to everbody, use some sort of internal wiki. When somebody does something wrong, talk to them right away to point their mistake out. Also, remember that scripting things make a lot of these things much easier. Hopefully you have a good tech… -
Re: Would you go to Mars?
Agreed, almost all of America's technological advancements came from the space program. I wish our military spending had a rate of return close to what we get out of NASA. BUT I don't think we can just forget reality and blaze ahead like we don't have problems or that those problems won't impact anything like education and…
