Hi :) It's my first time here, I just though about that topic : WHAT A GORGEOUS IDEA §§! ... So I jumped in because I know I have some very weak / empty skills in the great world of 3D ... I used to be an Art Student ... but I feel like now I want to dig the video-game side ! I plan to bring it to Unity ! The concept is…
I'm a Gnomon student using Maya currently (previously used Max) but I have to say I still love some of Max's features like the modifier stacks. Maya's history just doesn't measure up in that way. Either way as an organic modeller I try to spend as little time in Max/Maya as possible. Which is starting to get very easy with…
It's very heartening to see a fellow AI student working hard on their 3 week break to get stuff done. Good stuff man, and I'm eager to see progress. If there is any critique I would have - I really feel like this is too cramped for a workable game space. It's already narrow, and all the clutter is making me feel…
The Katon Calloway workshop is excellent for a student looking to learn a proper game art pipe-line. Katon gives you a metric ton of videos that cover everything from sculpting to baking to shaders. I can vouch that his techniques are real-world and legit. He gives great feedback too and helps you refine your work. I will…
Practical or not (this would make a fine distraction in many fights) there is nothing holding the breastplate up at all, and that just doesn't work. As is, it would just topple forward and hang from the straps at her middriff. This might aid in the distraction factor, but would be pretty awkward in any other way. The…
This is for the blizzard student art contest which sounds really fun. I'm not eligible to enter but whatever :p . My concept is a rat catcher. Still fiddling with his story. I dunno if he should be a rat who is bent on revenge against humanity, funding his plans by catching rats. He doesn't kill the rats but trains them?…
I'm a bit confused by what you said so I just went through and tried to draw everything I remember from my draw through classes (not taught by Scott, but by his students.) One thing I noticed is that your first two actually look way better than the one you said you were able to draw the perspective grid off of the ellipse.…
It's a big issue that we don't need armchair analysis of. from Gamasutra: "According to Gamasutra's Game Developer Salary Survey 2014 [PDF], men working U.S.-based salaried jobs in the game industry made $85,074 on average in 2013, whereas women made an average of $72,882 (excluding students and educators). That means on…
Oh, I understand how the process of the workshop goes, I think that introducing %'s and submitting items in a mentor/student fashion just isn't the proper way to go about learning in this setting and it would probably just confuse end goals and make things weird. Like it's been said, we all don't mind helping for free so…
Thanks again for your help guys, I am using 2011 trial but I think I'll upgrade to 2012, I still have the autodesk student code luckily. I'll post back once I install it as it looks like the "shell" and "inset" options have been fixed in 2012 as you mention. Pinkbox, I was just looking for that... But do you think is…
