Re: Game Art vs Game Programming
I've been facing the same situation (course you seem to have some liking to programming). People will generally push you to comp sci degrees and staying away from game art and do it in the off time. - due to knowledge you gain with your money and importance of degree and lastly job security I feel that from my research if… -
Re: You know what really grinds my gears???
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Strangers or people I've just recently met in group settings who ask me if I'm "okay" at seemingly random times for no discernable reason other than that I'm not actively speaking at that moment. I don't tend to have an insupressable stream of small talk and running commentary spilling out of my mouth at all times.… -
Re: Toughest art tests you've done/conducted?
Bill them at an hourly rate! Most unusual, never done an art test and never will personally, the request itself highlights a lack of professionalism, mainly the point is "If I say jump... how high will he go?", seeing as interviews should be a mutual handshake, this rings the alarm bells. I can`t imagine anyone, actively… -
Re: Shader FX One light support? (And other whines)
I learned ShaderFX after learning PuppetShop and I automatically assumed that the ShaderFX help, like the PuppetShop help was a direct link to the media section and that was all the help there was. So I skipped right over it and browsed the first few videos. I wouldn't take my rant about the PuppetShop documentation and… -

We will also have community voting, but a few experienced members as judges would also be great. We could go direct to you, asking in… -
Re: Spudnik's Secret Shop
It's funny, but i think that you picked up the most unfitting examples (The original PA got her value distribution in all kind of weirds, take a look). While she seems dark all around with the exception of her breastplate, in fact her shoulders, pants and even ponytail have their own big chunks of lighter values, they also… -
Re: Quitting?
Reading what you've been saying, I can't help but think you're procrastinating from focusing on game art. You want to pay off your debts. You want to build a new computer. You want to fix up your car. And finally, you want to wait at least a year for the promotion to come through. Why do you want to even wait until after… -

Re: Weird light artifacts after baking and exporting
Hi! Blender has a Triangulate modifier (keep normals option to preserve shading), which makes it easy to work with quads and triangulate on export. I recommend triangulating to ensure topology (and as a result mesh shading) is the same across softwares. Since you shared UV layout, I'll note that there's a lot of unused… -
Re: [WIP] Portable Stylized Drinks Dispenser
Unwrapping is done(for now)! Decided to go with a straight handle, I can bend it anytime anyway if I'll want to play with it in the end
