Yes that sort of makes sense. However, I hear and read so many stories of international students attending schools and later landing a job in the same city/country. So I think there's probably a difference between actually hiring a random graduate living overseas than a local graduate, that's already living in the area,…
Unreal is like an artist's wet dream at least that's what's shown. Majority art students and professional artists use it. While unity doing a feedback for artists and designers to see what they need in unity since when you compare the 2 unity has little or poor artists tools. P.s I'm just a noob but decided to use unreal…
This is terrific news! I have a rather advanced student that tested SP PBR output with The NonCommercial (free), version of Renderman utilizing their DIsney/Pixar Shader. He said it looked really good. As it's free, any chance you could take a peek at how your setup might work with Maya/Renderman? This is a great and…
That was my thought as well. I saw that they feature a new Maya 2011 Highpoly Modelling tutorial which I found tempting, but, that's the only Maya tutorial they have. I'm not really interested in the other tutorials. Another problematic issue for me with subscription based is for school usage. I'm not going to have 20+…
The more you learn the easier the path gets. its a hard question because everyone works different amounts at different stages in their career. students have loads of time to spend on projects and practice and professionals work the hours they need to. outside of that anything goes. don't think of it as a time sink. break…
Thank you. I do know my anatomy is off, I had hoped it was 'close' but it probably is not. I'm not a trained art student and have had no anatomy courses so that is setting me back. I should maybe put an anatomically correct reference image behind my next model. Do you think that would be a helpful way to learn that aspect…
A default install of Max will automatically download and install the latest service pack. I see this message quite often with my students when we go over MassFX (since none of them ever update anything). Getting that service pack always fixes the problem. I think you may continue seeing this message if any physics objects…
I think you should acknowledge in your posting that your ref are pro-level illustrations. You should make clear you are happily paying pro level rates for that quality of work. Unfortunately, many people who post here looking to hire high end art only have student level budgets with no hope of being able to afford what…
Well for programmers, the base tools needed to get work done vary depending on the project. If you use a free engine like Unity/UE4/etc, you could save money assuming you don't need any plugins. Visual Studio Community is also free for use in paid applications if you are working with a small team or on an open source…
personally I would love to introduce student to production environment and do some Q&A about it. it just finding time and company permission is not easy. and yea lots of NDA stuff . so it is almost impossible to be shared to anyone ... I can understand why some employee who volunteered to give me and my classmate seems so…
