Re: Degree Vs Self Taught
I was lucky, in the sense that I am not in debt. A local community college was offering an Associates degree in Simulation and Game Development so I took it. This gave me a balance from paying hardly anything, but still getting a small foundation from which to build on. It also gave me the opportunity to see if this is… -
Re: Failed an artist interview, was told to get feedback here. Please advise
hello, my 2 cents on top of the help given: island - does not look like the concept, does not have the mood. you see the rocks in the concept? there are colour shifts in hue and saturation. yours is just a flat out texture overlay with single colour and flat lighting. - work on the textures, and learn how to light the… -
Re: Workshop Contributors attending The International 2014
I am going to comment on this but I don't want to come off sounding whiny or unhappy with my relationship with Valve so far. But I feel like they really need to make a stronger effort to be inclusive to workshoppers who actually help provide items for them to generate revenue from. It takes time and effort to create this… -
Re: APB is the greatest game ever!
Yeah I agree, I didn't want to comment on the actual game since I already got warned about the NDA but what you've said is spot on in my opinion. It's incredibly repetitive and for this reason, I think it's unfortunately destined to fail. From a consumers point of view, I think the biggest factor that should be included… -
Re: Story + questions, I want 3D modelling as a career.
As someone who spent more than 10 years doing modelling for fun and 5 years as a professional, here is my 2 cents. It's not easy, needs a lot of work to get decent enough for a job, but it's a very rewarding job. Just be aware that you will basically learn new things your whole career. Be ready to get refused and rejected… -
Re: maya - learning
Dropping my 2 cents to the pile... Since you're coming from 3ds Max, this document might be useful: http://www.alias.com/eng/support/maya/knowledgebase/wp/3dmax_to_maya.pdf It lists some common terms and keyboard shortcuts for both Maya and Max, so you can compare and see the differences. I think Maya is very intuitive… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I've skimmed through most of the thread so if any of this is running over old territory, I'm sorry. I have to agree with a number of people that your original post kinda runs all over the place. You seem to be making quite a few different arguments at once which are all rather independent of each other. But from what I… -
Re: [WIP] Crossbow Tower
yep, the 4 corners. not sure what you mean by "the smaller ones", if you mean the smaller details then yes and no. If it were me I would keep everything a bit wavy and curvy so that nothing looks to straight in the final peice. Its a learning experience for everyone, im sure someone more qualified could give you better… -
Re: Tomahawk
Not sure if my imput will change anything as it seems like the axe is already borderline finished, but there are two parts that I'd try to work on more if it was me. The first one is the axe metal part. Two things are wrong with it, at least in my eyes. The blade is too uniformally thick. In all but one of your references… -
Re: Windows 8
Gonna throw my 2 cents in so far. Pros -Windows 8 runs much faster on my rig than 7. -It recognizes devices better and boots them faster(my bluetooth keyboard's input ---registers much faster at startup) -Max(2012), Photosohp(cs6),Zbrush they all work fine -less cluttered desktop I think the biggest benefit of the windows…
