If you end up getting manga studio, just be aware you probably wont be able to upgrade anymore. Its a rebranding of a japanese product, which is finally being localized by the original developers instead of smithmicro. From what I read, what you see now from smith micro will be the last of the manga studio as everything…
I think the following are pretty promising: 1 - the least alien-like and most functional design 17 - looks nice. The left side (I guess it's meant to be the front) reminds me a little of the megathron from EVE. 8 6 18 - but I would change / leave out the strange thingy / handle on the right end. All in all most designs…
Sorry, but Terragen skies suck. As do most of the Dreamscape skies out there, though this guy has some decent ones for cheap. Some other sites. http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-76646.html http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=sky+panorama&btnG=Search I ended up photographing my own, turned out…
I mean Unity itself as in the engine that powers 3DO. It's a bug that I believe only Unity themselves can fix, although we're exploring options on our end. http://support.quixel.se/hc/en-us/articles/207553255-Error-Couldn-t-switch-to-requested-monitor-resolution- This FAQ article mentions what I posted several months ago -…
In 3d's Max you can use the reference coordinate system to get the orientation you want ? http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/16/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-0F3E2822-9296-42E5-A572-B600884B07E3.htm,topicNumber=d30e28715 You can also reset the spinners at the bottem right next to the isolate en lock toggle.

I was accepted to TGA in 2012 (but opted out for PSQ instead), and was told that they wouldn't even look at our 3D works. What they told me was that you would learn 3D at the school, and what was important before that was how well your "eye" for shapesand colours etc was. That might have changed though! With that said, you…
I'm a bit hesitant about posting this, but I hope it can be helpful for people currently in school or recent grads. Someone on the hangouts mentioned this thread so I figured I'd write something up The early years: I grew up not thinking about being a 3d artist. In high school, I dicked around with Photoshop to make some…
Thank you very much for your answer! My current end goal is to work as a character artist, even though I already work as an environment artist. I started doing busts because they are much less energy consuming then full pipeline characters (couldn't finish my valkyrie ), but I guess they are good only for personal…
Hi all! I'm a non-traditional (read: old guy) student from Durham, NC and I finish my degree in Game Art & Development in August. I've been learning absolutely non-stop for the past three + years and have touched a little bit of everything. I really love it all, but am focusing on texturing and environments. I'm absolutely…
Alright I'm going to follow the same and post some notes as well. - I thought your music was fine but that's just me. - I do agree with slipsius on there not being any labels. Some of it I could read as 3d and others I don't know what. Also you do need contact info as well. - I suggest that you put a few of your best work…
