Re: [Portfolio] - Alex Wells, Prop and Environment Artist
And as Warren already pointed out how important connections are: go to networking events in your local area and national / international if you can afford it. GDC is an awesome opportunity to start networking. Apply as a volunteer if you can't afford the tickets. I did that at the GDC Europe and I can tell you it is really… -
Re: Where to study online?
For targeted learning with regular mentor feedback, I actually really recommend CGMA 3D. The trick is to really look at the classes being offered and make sure they are what you want to focus on. They're hard work, but you do get weekly feedback from the techer and i've found my fellow students to be equally driven and… -
Re: Generating environment ideas - drawing vs photobashing question.
Seeing as you are a student you should take the opportunity to improve on areas that you think need improving. Good fundamental drawing skills is something that will always be useful as a concept artist obviously, so keep at it. With that said, a lot of our concepts are photobashed (mainly quick light tests etc.) so… -

Re: Valdrake (sword) WIP: Need Critique!
I'm using a student license of 3ds max 2012. And that depends on how it takes shape once I'm done with all the rest of the modeling process. I more than likely will use smooth groups for only the handguard and claws. And there is so much to learn I'm gonna have to dig in hard if I want to achieve that. Lol. -
Re: [Portfolio] Andrew Belliveau, Character Artist
I think you have a good site there, You probably just want a full body character done with todays technology (normal map, Spec, etc..). The heads are pretty nice too. My favorite is your Nathalie Portman sketch. :) I'm just a student so take what I say with a grain of salt. -
Re: Liquid Development still a good place to contract for?
It is doable on a student's schedule provided you don't overload yourself. I was in my 3rd year of university when I started working with them. I actually ended up declining extra work because although I could have made some good money, I wouldn't have finished any of my coursework :) -
Re: Questions about getting into the industry, college, freelancing, please help.
If its really down to Devry and gnomon... Email gnomon if you are interested, its their job to make try to make it as easiest as possible to go there, they will be more than happy to say why they are better than devry. If you are the type of student they are looking for they'll try to convince your parents its worth it,… -
Re: Portfolio - Neil Gowland - Environment Artist
For an artist with 4 years of production experience, you don't really have any work to show. That is a huge red flag to me. Your portfolio feels like a student who just graduated because of the reliance on straight photo textures, and the very small amount of work. Why don't you have any work to show? -
Re: Low Poly Hardware Specs
Hello all, This is actually my first post on this forum. I'm a grad. student beginning work on my master's project and this thread has quite a lot to do with my topic. I was wondering where the numbers in the first post came from. If anyone (especially the initial poster) knows, I'd love to have the source. Thanks.
