Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | November - January
@supersnakelx I contact the mods after I create a new thread to have the new one stickied and the old one taken down, since I do not have mod privileges. There has been instances in the past where the Environment challenge was also stickied, however it's up to the creator or the participates to get that done if it's what… -
Re: What would make you buy a 3D printer?
I got the Ultimaker 1, building it was the best part so far! The use will be a bunch of engineering related stuff, building an internet radio at the moment and being able to customize every tiny part in the chassis really helps, another project will be an advanced wristwatch. Some robotics stuff as well! Will probably not… -
Re: Yet another Showreel thread!
In my opinion you don't need any videos unless stuff is animated, or has an animated aspect to it. Videos take a lot more effort to appreciate static than a nice photo/render do! :) For example, if your prop is just a static firearm - there's no movement or you're not showing off any reload animations, then just do some… -
Re: Sketchbook:Eye-Work
Pig Latin "Away eryvay eepday dnaway foundproay otequay" Waking up behind a garbage bin one day Oinkster realizes that he has gotten himself into trouble and now he has a helmet with a brain and robotic arms permanently attached to his head. Due to Oinkster's dyslexia, he names his helmet 'Brian'. On the way to his… -
Re: Stylizing your art; getting rid of the greeble
Good design is good design. Whether it's a mutant-zombie-robot-machine gun, or a character for a children's book. All the same principles apply, and "greeble" fits into a big no-no, which is distracting noise. Pixar and feature animation in general is a great resource to study for the "simpler" kind of stuff (even though… -
Re: Leinad - Portfolio feedback (any advice is greatly appreciated)
Perhaps divide your portfolio along studio position lines. Robot sketch 2 is just a blob of rusty metal, not a good thing to keep. Ask yourself if someone experimenting in zbrush couldn't do the same thing, especially so if it wasn't textured and didn't have the mist. Monster Bust is also a generic blob with generic sharp… -
Re: 3d artists - out of a job in the future?
so far we have no make art button.. so we're good. 3d artist is more than a pixel pusher, but a creative controller of content. Ya.. it would suck for all the drones in the outsourcing companies probably.. but there will still need to be people in creative positions to create. Until AI is smart enough to determine the… -
Re: Art test question
Chances are whoever you where in contact with, doesn't know enough about the art tests to answer your questions. Even for us (a very small studio) our HR person handles the bulk of the correspondence up until phone interviews. They sift through the pile find candidates that meet certain criteria, pass those along to our AD… -

Re: Free radical engine (Playable demo Level)
I certainly wasn't saying you should buy speed-tree. If you had the resources you should, but the commercial license is quite expensive for independent development. It is hands down the best thing for making trees. Check out this crazy hand-drawn feature it has! [ame="…
