Re: Salary of a 3d artist?
1: if you truly have the passion, teach yourself, a slightly lower starting salary wont sting as much when you are not paying back massive school loans. 2:my estimate in the usa a starting job getting you around 35/45k, after a few years 60-80k depending on a lot of factors. 3: titles are studio specific but usualy follow… -
Re: Thoughts on this computer?
Regarding the Xeon: I only recommend the E3 1230v3 so often because it has the most bang for the buck if you don't need the integrated GPU and the ability to overclock your CPU. If you don't mind paying more than ~$270 I would go with the mainstream CPU 4770 or 4770K (the Xeon 1270v3 would be ~$30-60 more compared to the… -
Re: Abandoned Gas Station - UE4
@Xendance Thanks for that exposure tip! I liked that first iteration too but it didn´t have interesting shadows and it lacked diffuse lighting a lot in some places. @krystalcampioni I´m trying to go with semi realisic style. Taking some freedom with things but still try to keep materials and proportions right. Those seams… -
Re: How do you motivate yourself?
although said in what I hope is Jest drugs is not the worst option for creative problems. a big cup of caffeine does it for many, does it for me a lot of days, or one of those energy drinks that dissolve your liver im sure it fucked with mine before I kicked the habit. Theres ritalin many rave about that, i've never had… -
Re: gaming habits
It's not gaming, it's lack of self-discipline. Basically, I think, if you became this addicted to gaming, it means your brain uses it as a way to escape from reality and hard work. And what is 3d art? Bingo! It is hard work. And afaik brain uses enormous amount of energy in order to do intellectual work. For your own good… -
Re: Exporting a voluminous mesh into UDK
My point is that CAD Documentation/Help files and UDN will answer all the basic questions you asked much faster and better, especially in this case. For example, UDK has a limit of 60-70K vertices you can import, and need to break up in Mat-ID's if you want them to work properly ingame. You can do certain stuff, like… -
Re: EA's the worst company in America for 2012
Completely agree. I bought BF3 on the basis BC2 was fucking amazing. Now I have no war games to play and ill be sticking with RO2 until the new Rainbow Six comes out. Origin is also a mess. It was complicated enough buying everything with all their "checks", EA really wants every damn penny for throwing their games back in… -
Re: You can not advance?
Nick - So far, theres still angst, but with the introduction of a more aggressive character who will pilot the black eva she could reduce the angst a fair bit. Still, shinji is still shinji and asuka still has issues with her mother. But, in the first 30mins i'd say its about 60/40 to action! Its a mixture Playdo - I'd… -
Re: WIP - SCAR-H [need help]
Arrismus is an incredible guy & so is his channel. So you do good, if you stick with his tuts. Since you didn't specify anything particular, all I can say is that you need tons of references. I'm not exaggerating. I would say that 60% of the time I spend on a gun is finding references & adjusting my model accordingly. Bc… -
Re: Tutorial need it ! (low poly character modeling)
trying to scrape together free resources is one of the worst mindsets to have as a beginner and directly responsible for people learning at a super slow rate, or becoming frustrated. With the new trend of top tier industry artists putting out amazingly high quality art tutorials for what is equal to pennies on the dollar…
