Re: Portfolio C&C request
Hey there, You've got some cool work and then some okay work. Out of all of it, the banjo felt strongest. I feel like you'd be in a better position if you trimmed out all the quick projects, older less impressive pieces and the simple dioramas. Getting a full environment in engine with props as high quality as that banjo… -
Re: I'm not sure what to do now.
I personally quit school as soon as I noticed they had nothing part from basics to teach. You just have to get off your ass and make models. You wont get a job as character artist unless you study the shit out of anatomy and then make many top notch AAA characters. Cartoon characters might get you a job as 3D artist in… -
Re: PC Community Feedback: Petrol/Blood (and contests in general)
I did not enter, but by my observation I noticed most projects suffered in one of the two categories: either the vehicle or the character. It's a pretty steep challenge to create a fully polished vehicle and a fully polished character. Not to mention the stand as well. It is obvious to see that most people preferred to… -
Re: When we say multiple material id on a single model, what do we mean?
yeah you can assign materials for a single polygon or an entire mesh. You usually break them up based on what resolution you need your textures. So maybe you have a human character.

Re: Lighting Portfolio Question
Actually, it sounds like he wants to do lighting which really doesn't fall under any of those.

Learn how to light large areas for an MMO type game vs lighting smaller areas in a single player… -
Re: Sharing tips vs keeping tricks to yourself
I started putting together a series of tutorials for environment artists on interior construction details based on my experience as a commmercial electrician. Things like fire alarm, sprinklers, switches, wall plates, junction boxes, light fixtures, ceiling tiles, joists, exit signs, etc. It's almost always done wrong… -

I used source images from my visit of the location for all of the textures execpt the grass (re used from an older assignment, but also an image I took from grass from my back yard), the window glass (pure photoshop and I know it is… -

I never released any mods myself, due to my lack of actual modding skill, all… -
Re: How do you cope with your school being a "Degree Mill"?
I guess in the end I'm still a little bitter from so many back to back disappointments, I had been dependent on achieving some measure of success after graduation before "real life" would catch up, now that it has I'm beginning to feel the pressure. From a lack of transferable skills to work in any other field, to a Family…
