Re: Guild Hall - anyone heard anything good?
Pak is dead on. And we tell that to students. We also tell them that getting this certificate or degree does NOT guarantee them a job. Some students come to the school with that mindset. And some leave before finishing because they can't let go of that mindset. The success points Pak stresses are part of the core focus of… -
Re: Q about Animation
10 min... that's a long time. Unless it's a requirement I would cut that down to 2-3min. That is still a daunting task but it can be made easier if you animate at 15 fps instead of 24. If it's too choppy (that depends on the motion) you could kick it up to 30 and start doing in-betweens to smooth it out, but at least you… -
Re: Severly tempted to buy ZBRUSH - should I?
You guys will love version 2 if you're only using the 1.55 demo. There were huge improvements to the tools and performance made. The 2.2 update which was just announced promises further improvements to the Zsphere tools which are an excellent way to approach character creation. The interface isn't bad... just different.… -
Re: Portfolio review & feedback.
It's not even close to a harsh, rude, or even impolite critique. People asking for critique are looking for information, not a pat on the back. If you like to be very polite and nice that is great but it's not necessary and mostly just fluff, meaning it has little value. There is no information to do anything with. If you… -
Re: Making Blender more like max
I don't know to what extent you need Blender to remind you of Max, but I will suggest that you might feel more at home with Quad View mode, which you can toggle with Ctrl Alt Q. You'd also be better taking Prime8's advice with switching the default "Select" button from RMB to LMB (File > User Preferences > Input > Select… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
Biggest advice I will give people coming out of uni is: DON'T PANIC. BE PATIENT. When I graduated last year I was feeling good about my post uni prospects. I knew my final year work wasn't job worthy, but I also knew that I could pump out better stuff for my folio. I knew how hard it is to get a job, but I was one of the… -
Re: Carpal tunnel syndrome friendly mouse
I know a lot about this stuff. I have a lot of mice. My main mouse is a chintzy light Intellimouse 2.0! :) . I love it. But I also have Evoluent mice and a Wow Pen mouse.… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Brad Boyles, Asset and Environment Artist
Convert all your images to JPG, I hate PNGs (they take forever to load!!) The favela environment looks pretty good, but living in the biggest brazilian city (Sao Paulo) I've seen a couple of favelas in my life and i got some critics for environment (not sure if you are going to work on it more though) - Dumpsters don't… -
Re: Simon Trümpler Demoreel WIP - need YOUR opinion!
My opinion is that you shouldn't bother with a demo reel. Why? you may ask. Well the HR people are probably going to skip right over it as they don't want to spend the time watching demo reels these days. Too many people applying for work and not enough time to go watching demo reels, seriously you're lucky if you can get… -
Re: Questions I've Been Too Afraid To Ask
well it depends 1) I guess useage of reference images/planes is true for most "real-life" modelling, I fail to see why it would be a sabotage using 3views for vehciles and such. I guess for organic stuff it is mostly there to lay out the main proportions, but looking back at photo references always helps. Although I guess…
