My career as a 3D artist finally begins!!!
I'm really excited. To give some quick background, I started uni at 17 studying civil engineer - hated it and dropped out after 2 years. Got kicked out of the house and roamed aimlessly for a while. Did a 4 year design degree and got a job in visualisation. Before this job I had never used vray and was pretty bad at 3DSMAX… -
Re: Character - Prototype 01
Hey thanks everyone for all the great and helpful feedback. This model has gone through a ton of iterations so it's nice to know I'm on the right track. Getting some fresh eyes on it really helps. I'll try to hit up all your comments individually. TeriyakiStyle; Thanks! For scripts, I have a few custom scripts I use. The… -
TF2: Polycount Pack, Week 4 Check-in
Oof! Mondays. Am I right? Let's start the week off with some good news and some bad news. First, the good news: For those of us not entering in the TF2 Contest, there's only 7 days lefts until the contest ends. Which means that 2 weeks after that, we'll find out who the winners are. YES! And for the bad news: For those of… -
Re: Top Gear: USA
I was wondering if this would get discussed here. All I can say, is it lived up to expectations... and that's not a good thing. I'm fine with them copying the BBC version, just so we can get new episodes faster, and with American cars. Unfortunately, these hosts are the most bland and boring twats they could have chosen.… -
Re: Driving to a studio to apply in person - Good idea, bad idea?
i don't know where this idea of me saying 'more pay > enjoyable job' came from... I agree, any job that you hate is useless even if you bring home massive salaries. I was just saying there is still a lot of money to be made after Justin suggested he had 'dodged a bullet'. You can have both you know, I'm sure there are… -
Re: Grim Bao - First full 3d
Well I reached a point with this guy that I feel it's finished for the most part. As far as a first model there's a ton of stuff I like to work on further, tweak and change but due to my inexperience I think I hit the rook on the polygon count, and my computer sends me hate mail every time I load it up. Which brings me to… -
Re: Student looking for advice
A professional looking reel, and networking are the 2 biggest. Junior / entry level positions are almost never posted online. They usually get filled through employee recommendations. So get out there and network. Whether it be attending beer nights where you get to know the person (Do NOT throw your reel at people and ask… -
Re: UV MAPPING. A headache?

Re: On the topic of getting into 3D art...
Hey OP, I was in a completely same situation two weeks ago, I am switching to the 3D from app developer, cause I hate strictly defined programming rules and love freedom of the freelance with hopes that someday I can grow it out in a small studio. I started creating those "game-ready assets", but I don't play games. I… -
Re: Hand Painted final
