That is quite accurate. My gf is a compositor in the film industry, in order to get the skills needed for that job she went to a trade school. Now she owes like $50k in loans, but can only afford to pay off the interest incurred, so despite paying over $600 monthly to Sally Mae, her total (what she owes) doesnt even go…
It's critical to understand the foundation to any sort of 'character' modelling before stemming off into unique styling (LoL and Overwatch are great examples). So with that in mind, if you wish to create stylized characters learn ideal anatomy and proportions first. Once you have a grasp on this, then you may continue to…
I have no idea which individuals the companies are sending but as soon as they come I will ask the guest speakers in person when they arrive if I may publicly thank them on relevant forums so they get just deserved recognition. If they wish to have no praise and are doing it off their own back then I will respect that as…
I am not doing it for an entry level job...Thats what my profession is for :D But I am doing it for fun and as a hobby. I did spend most of my time at work drawing and the rest of my time studying (odd jobs) but this one here the last one was on the wacom tablet and I suck at it as you may have observed. its actually 2…
Hey Mark! Impressive work! I especially like the 'Dawn of Fantasy' environments. Very nicely done. So, I have a proposition. Me and my team are currently working on a 3D RPG, and our environment artist backed out. So we need someone who can model for us. Here's the thing: the project is starting off with a promotional…
Good start! I think the thing that stood out the most to me was the end where he pops back on screen. Because of his character, I think it would be better if only his body came back on screen, and his feet stayed off screen. It's not realistic in terms of balance, but for a comic character that constantly talks to the…
Tips from personal experience selling assets: - Sales are huge boosters to revenue, putting a sticker on something that says "50% off!" can give a massive boost to sales - Prices mean almost nothing. Charging less for something does not mean it will sell more. - People on forums who say they are going to buy something from…
@Artelios: I haven't found zbrush to be useful for hardsurface. However, it might be nice to blockout organic shapes and then pull panels off of that surface. For me, sub-division modeling seems to give far more control and possibly greater speed. @PyrZern: Great progress. I think you're right about the breasts and head.…
awesome work Chai :) I made one on my own a while back specifically for the way we handle checkouts, our outrageous naming scheme, and other stuff at work. It'd be weird to release mine since it's so specific, but I figured I'd list a few ideas from mine that may be cool if you're interested* I set it to toggle off any of…
it's been a while since i've heard that name mentioned. also, good post, all very valid points. IMO, from the outside this project looks like one of those mods that claims to be an "indie game", then tries to get tons of hype over a few piece of concept art and quickly dies off. the fact that OP is trying to develop an…
