100% agreed. The time thing is a huge issue. On the one hand you want to have time to do polish as much as possible on the other hand putting dozens of hours into a test for free isn't exactly the best use of your time. Those employed only have their spare time, but freelancers are missing out opportunities to put food on…
So my view here is: 1. You seem super passionate about this (and understandably so), and that's a good thing! It makes me want to help you out! 2. Unfortunately, I and many other artists here either work fulltime, or freelance, or both. This means that taking on free work is almost impossible for us. Now, I know you're…
JordanN I've always been anti-move for my career for the most part. My husband has a very good job where we live so yeah it'd be a big ask to get him to up and leave. Also I have a lot of friends and family in the area. This has made it harder for my career but you can still make it work - it just means you can't be too…
We’ve all been there. You find a "bargain" 3D studio or a freelancer with a killer ArtStation, but three weeks later, you’re the one staying up until 2 AM fixing non-manifold geometry and flipped normals. The truth? The hidden cost to make a video game isn't the initial invoice — it’s the "rework tax." If you’re a Lead…
They'll have to grow up quickly and they do have a lot of time for reading. Thanks for sharing the book! For my part I have been advocating to as many people as I can to explore alternate career and revenue streams where they have more control and it has made many question policies. One aspect about 3rd party is everyone…
Hey qL1max, I get where you are coming from. I started out in graphic design and advertising when I was younger, worked a few jobs and did some freelance. I really hated the industry. Alot of studios are influenced by pretentious twats who sell bullshit and basically talk their way into making it up the ranks, or even…
The secret of google job hunting (freelancing or staff positions) is to use the time filters. Obviously you don't need jobs listed 3 years ago, you want leads in the last 24 hours. Apply same logic if you're on twitter. Save your search tags and search every hour...if you can. On twitter see the "all" category not just the…
Hello to my fellow polycounters! I’ve been working on a character in the evenings after my day-job, in hopes of pushing my portfolio forwards. In the past I’ve either had a fairly generalist portfolio, or the chosen designs were not visually strong. I’ve reflected a lot lately, and decided to push forwards with a stylized…
I think the truth is...most artists who are working for companies are going to be screwed. 3D Artists are likely to get completely replaced by automation because their entire field is completely made of the technical aspects (i.e. modeling, lighting, retopology) that can easily be automated once the AI gets advanced…
