What @TeriyakiStyle is saying is what we tell students as well at our university. It is great that you have knowledge about the 2d as well as the 3d. But in your portfolio you should only show the stuff that you want to get hired for. Since you put that you're a 3d Environment and Prop artist, that is what you should have…
Just an interesting observation: I have a friend who works in the design department of a newspaper and about a year ago they switched from macs to pcs to solve networking issues. The design department was the only place where macs were being used, and apparently it caused massive problems for I.T. I've always been a pc…
I'm actually waiting for my bank to tell me I can have a debit of 1000 euros, so that I can use my current 900-or-so euros to buy a good computer and then live the rest of the month of borrowed money. (great start for the student life right ;) ). Oh yeah, and I want to use this pc for study work (just writing…

( but i want to do it to get my foot in the industry more fcourse :) ) Also would it be best limit myself in lets say 5 companies i would like to work at and try to make sure i have work in my…
1. Is it a realistic goal to become an animator, level designer or something to that effect? At 23, I currently have no extensive art skills, but no practice either. I can be very dedicated though. i believe in you peter. 2. Can I be successful in this field as a person that is more of an analytical thinker rather than…
alright I'll just flat out say what a bunch of us are (probably) thinking. to sum it up: it's more likely worth your cash and time if you take that money and just use it to live for a couple years and self teach yourself with the internet, books, and video tutorials. or, put the money towards a 'real' traditional art…
do you want to program for physics, or general game programming? Might sound a bit obvious but a degree in physics would have benefits for that, where as CS might grant you more overall programming knowledge for everything else. One of my friends went to school for/received a BA in Physics and while he did take C++ and…
Love that Bridgman book. One of my favourites. There are some other decent books, but they have different caveats... Dynamic Anatomy by Hogarth is great for memorizing muscle masses, but his forms as incredibly exaggerated (makes it easy to study); Artist's Guide to Human Anatomy by Bammes is good, has some nice drawings…
lkraan: cool! Nerd Groupie: Haha, you should see our cupboard here at the flat ... we make a point of stealing 6 glasses every time a new theme comes out in the local nightclubs and/or student union ... we have a very large selection at the moment! Me, I'm slowly collecting guitars I have 5 at the moment, both electric and…
Hey guys! a couple of days ago I came across a similar post about getting portfolio feedback, and there were a lot of useful tips and people sharing their experiences, so I thought I'm gonna give it a try. Especially because I'm gonna start applying for a job in the next couple of days. So I'm a student and trying to get a…
