If you see someone selling an old version of PS or selling new version a lot cheaper than usual there's a 99% chance that it's no more legal than torrented photoshop. As retarded as it sounds, it's pretty much impossible to get an old version legally. So people who prefer to work on older PS or 3ds Max are screwed unless…
I don't have any issues with your post, but I will respond to this: WE may not be businesses, but you most likely work for one. As a result, you're told what to do. It all comes back to money. If you don't like it, then start your own. That's what I did. I wish it was true, but we all know the type of games that sell and…
I think it depends on how you are trying to sell yourself. If you're selling yourself as a texturing artist... there may be some concerns. Keep in mind that no all studios use megascan, or create environments where megascans materials may not work as easily (Ie: SciFi) Proving that you can still make textures shows that…
Not sure about it going on sale but Pixologic allows you to resell your license so you could probably find it discounted from someone selling their own copy. Personally I think ZBrush is probably the best value for the money of any 3D app I've ever owned and as mentioned, unlike Autodesk products if it ever ceases to be…
Video highlights exactly what's wrong. Brow, cranium, and cheeks don't change at all between the varying ages, and those would be imo the most important markers to selling aging. Your structure changes a lot as a kid, maybe get some better reference? Also eyes are ridiculously crazily huge, even for stylization i think…
Critiques on individual pieces follow. Colossus - I'm having difficulty seeing the "colossus" I assume is supposed to be the large rock thing in the background. I can make out a face (eye, nose), but it's not super clear and is easiest to see when you're zoomed out a fair bit. I think this could be made stronger by having…
I man up and do everything. I don't quit on anything but my point is it's not just about sitting down and doing something. Unless you have had to really deal with it you really have no idea what it is like. I think mine is mild compared to others I have talked to but when I have bad episodes or it really starts to be a…
I don't know how many times it has to be explained. You won't prevent a person from pirating software. They are stealing by choosing to acquire content for free. The principle isn't different t than from Walmart trying to cut prices to better accommodate shoplifters. Where you guys see the solution to piracy or even a…
@Ged So basically the vertical slice project was to come up with a game idea and build as much as you can to show the feel of where you next sixteen weeks is going. Yes the animations are an issue as some of the effects don't correctly match up and need a heck load of work, but we wanted to get some basic ones in that we…
I never thought of becoming an artist, I just wanted to do something fun and make money. I guess 1 out of 2 aint so bad. I always struggle with the thought of me being an artist. I feel like in a way I am but in others I am not. I also believe that it can become a philosophical debate to a certain degree. What is art, who…
