Re: [seeking direction in game dev career]
More and more Environment Art has started to develop a number of sub-categories. Different studios break it up in different ways, but here are some of the roles that fall under Environment Art. Prop Artist – Pretty self explanatory. Model and usually texture prop objects. This is one of the easiest jobs for studios to… -
Re: Why do some people sink geometry into the objects, and some are merging vertex together?
I usually merge meshes together wherever I can but there are a few exceptions. Reasons for merging vertexes: * Merged vertexes are much easier to bake maps from as you don't have overlapping geometry on the lowpoly. This is a big time saver and produces much cleaner bakes. * Merged vertexes have fewer visible hard edges.… -
Re: (Critic Welcome) ConceptArt Portfolio
If you don't mind me dropping my two cents here, in my opinion, your strongest suites are your environmental design pieces (though you draw a lot of man-made constructions and almost no environments with only organic matter) and your prop design pieces. If you want to specialize in that area then that's cool, but if you're… -
Re: Career path advice
First decide what it is you want to achieve. Do you want to do environments or characters? Once you make that choice, focus solely on that, drop the others for now. You want to really drill into one discipline and do it well rather than trying some scatter gun approach with a bit of everything. You can always develop other… -
Re: JEFF! A Knight Wizard.
Joopson: oops! Thanks for reminding me :P Completely blanked on finishing the eye. killingpeople: Yeah, the plaid-- I wanted to make the skirt more of a fabric instead of a plain color.

Re: Next steps to getting an internship/junior role
I think it is great that you are reaching out to get a new perspective and get some help, kudos to you for that. Personally id say pick a field and learn that field. So focus on lets say props, make some kickass props and shape your portfolio around that. Or maybe environments and make one really good environment. Right… -
Re: Student portfolio help & advice
Hey OP, You can improve a lot. For example it still seems you are really weak on modelling. Can you maybe start doing these. It starts simple, but it is really good practice. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129938 http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132146… -
Re: [Portfolio] Steve Cronin 3D Character and environment artist

And thanks for your crits on the presentation of some of them, I'll… -
Re: A Giant Crab with a Crab-Dude Riding it (Unfinished Petrol/Blood Entry)
Will resume main scene next week-- I'm getting closer, and I got permission to go into my old school for a little bit to make a template scene that isn't so wonky. Going to try and get a semi-final scene-setup going while I'm there. Until then, I'm doing some missing props/overdue clean up work. But today I did none of…
