Re: Looking for some portfolio/job hunting advice
Just curious from a job standpoint why would you want to stay in KC? That has to be even less of a hub for CG related jobs than Ohio... you're going to have to move eventually anyways. Personally if your parents are supporting you and not forcing you into finding a job right now I'd take full advantage of that. Being able… -
Need help with 3ds Max 2012
Hey everyone, I'm new to 3ds Max 2012 (and generally 3ds Max past 3ds 7) and I'm having serious issues applying textures/bitmaps to selected polygons.

Re: A couple of questions on Zbrush
By "applying noise", do you mean you hit the "Apply to Mesh" button? Noise doesn't require extra geometry to preview, but actually applying it to the mesh would require enough subdivisions to handle the detail. And again for the zooming, can you describe the steps you're taking to zoom? One can't tell from a cropped photo,… -
Re: skewed uv's in Maya?
Problem solved, I guess if you uv map something with a square texture applied and then apply a rectangular texture it will stretch, but since I had rotated the uv's 35 degrees they got stretched when I applied the new texture, this caused the skew action and it was a matter or rotating and scaling in various axis to get it… -

Re: Portfolio Variety, opinions?
A nice tip from the game industry mentor podcasts that I remember was to choose 5 studios you'd love to work for or are actually targeting to apply for and have a portfolio piece based on each one. That would give you 5 portfolio pieces hopefully with some diversity depending on the studios you chose, and a semi-targeted… -
Re: Beginner 3D Character Artist Path
The simple answer is to make art. Find someone on ArtStation that has the job you want, and keep making art until your work doesn't look out of place next to theirs. Finish your work. You won't like any of it at first. You'll think you're falling short of your aspirations. That's totally normal. I've been doing this…
