Alright, so it's been a while. Worked on the scene on and off the last few months, but I've got to grips with UE4 and Substance Painter and sped up a lot by now. I did some modding for Fallout 4 as well. Here's what the scene looks like today; I went to EGX last week and talked to a few triple A industry artists and the…
agree! In the early 80's M.I.C.A didn't have a computer graphics program. And you had just as much chance of being a successful graphic designer as u did a pro baseball star. The prestigious art colleges did not try to sucker u into any illusions either. You were told right away that u were choosing a life of burger…
If they banned or restricted 18+ video games in the states they would have to look at the same for that massive cash cow you guys have called Hollywood...I doubt that is going to happen any time soon. Interestingly our government here in Australia finally introduced an 18+ rating after years of the games industry and it's…
Over the past 2 weeks, I've been trying to learn how to create PBR textures for my models. I dived into learning 3D Coat & Quixel DDO. I also found this great GDC presentation on how Photogrammetry was used to create the environments for the new Star Wars Battlefront game. Photogrammetry and Star Wars Battlefront Here are…
@oskarreftel Hey, I was stalking your mma fighter thread, it was one of the references and target quality level/competition I collected before starting this project. My high poly for the LMS guy, sheesh, took months. I'm pretty new to zbrush and that last man standing was the first real character sculpt I did--I was…
WoW has a custom UI scale in the options. You can drastically reduce the size of the HUD. You can also get a mod to make your general layout customized (and even smaller). JFletcher: I find it interesting you talk about making WoW free. In fact, the ONLY reason I truly quit was because I was in a money crunch and I…
Ok Nitewalkr... let me clear it up for you. Absolute crap. 2D Art is all over gaming still. Concept Art... Texturing... Flash Games... also, ever visited the App Store? Not necessarily true. Firstly, I know a lot of tattoo artists who couldn't put a portfolio worth shit together. Just because they draw on people's skin,…
@justin: it seems that my school (art institute of fort lauderdale) is SLOWLY leaning away from demo reels. they just now started to tell us we wont be needing an actual dvd to send to companies anymore, because companies dont want them. generally, they like to have us make demo reels to show during portfolio presentation,…
I think what bothers me the most from that side of thought are two things. 1) Obsession and/or ability to throw away your life for a company = passion. 2) Money cures all and no where else will pay you to work normally. Anyone can spend 80 hours a week at work, but by no means does that mean that they are contributing…
I've always thought one of the major problems with the system is the average person's overestimation of how much a doctor can help, and their underestimation of just how tough the human body is. Too many people get a flu, or a cough, or just a little paranoid, go to visit the doctor and funnel tons of money into a medical…
