Senior Environment Artist - Soft Rains Games [Full Time][Remote]
Hi from an OG Polycounter now Art Director at a new game studio. The last time I posted job ads here was in the early 2000's when we assembled an elite team of Polycounters to work on Warhammer Online. Polycount was my online home back then, and I'm hoping we can find some great artists here today. About Soft Rains We are… -
Re: Specialize or Generalize?
Robots are not going to take your job. Robots are going to enable you to keep up with increased demand for fidelity and the ever increasing scope of projects in answer to the specialise vs generalise question.. If you mean within a specific discipline such as prop modelling then there's always a use for people who can do… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback/Breaking into the video game industry.
Once you reach a certain level of skill you will have no problem getting a job, even without experience. Currently your work isn't at a recruitable level, assuming your looking at AAA next gen titles. You need to improve your basic skills and keep moving forward. Like many people have said it will benefit you to choose a… -
Re: BFA vs. Certificate
100% self taught here, has never really held me and and I have worked at a bunch of AAA studios. Never once was a degree brought up, and when people found out I was self taught they usually think that shows a good self motivation/drive. The lack of post secondary has never really been an issue for me, but I have never… -
Re: Stability in the game industry worry
I've been at the same place since 2006, super stable, great pay and we hardly work over a 40hr week and crunch is a few days every 3-6mo. I've got a wife and a daughter and the job doesn't impact the time I spend with my family at all. But then again I'd give up the industry if it became unstable for me. I'd go back to… -
Re: Drive and Goals
Altho it's good to make short term goals like the Recap, you've gotta make sure that 'kind' of drive isn't your only and or main drive. There needs to be a deeper stronger self drive than just ego stroking or 'get a job at xy AAA studio', Other wise your gonna get very lost when those goals are met. The working env is what… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
True story. Dad of studio owner asks me my age then he goes: "Once you hit 30 it's all downhill from there." 4 years later I was out of the game studiio/AAA level industry. So the point is...nothing. But I think under 30 you're good to start your studio career. Above 30...try to be realistic with your asking salary if you… -
Re: WIP Scifi Soldier
I'm creating this basemesh with proper anatomy because I'm still learning. In the process of sculpting everything, even if most of the anatomy is covered up, will help me learn to sculpt faster in the future. This way, when it comes time for me to quickly sculpt a model, I'll be able to use what I've learned to sculpt a… -
Re: First Real Anatomy Attempt
I will try.... Her neck and shoulders look a bit off and need a little more definition. But it's hard to tell from these images as they are not at the best angle for looking at it. Her anterior muscles (lower leg) need more defining. They are bigger in your Ref image. The only other thing I would say you could really fix… -
