be prepared to spend a lot of money for any US colleges. Unless there's no good college in Australia, it's probably not worth the money. Canada or the UK may be cheaper. If you ever want to develop your own game or be the head of a game project, you might rather want to study project management (producer role) or software…
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the main company I applied for is Creative Assembly. I kind of aimed the portfolio towards them with the medieval stuff, but did not get the internship I applied for. I'm definitely going to be making a more modern/realistic scene next with more of a focus on realism rather than a stylized…
Definitely s step in the right direction, @yodude87 :) One thing that still jumps out is that the areas in the garage where the light is hitting the floor directly need to be much brighter and intense. So turning up your main light somewhat should sort that out. However, that might make the outdoor area far too intense as…
Pulled apart my scale test into a few separate modules. I'm choosing to replace a lot of the wiring with pipes instead, especially on the exposed areas where the paneling appears to be removed. I have a feeling even having a few exposed areas are going to be difficult - I don't know much about electronics, so I'll have to…
Haven't updated in a while. Feeling a bit down lately. I don't feel like I'm improving and also I'm a bit overwhelmed whenever I visit one of the cg forums. Also started learning about rendering in uni which i personally find devoid of creative input and more like slider simulator. I know it's not true…
Yeah, my creative juices kept flowing so well that I had to jump on the opportunity and start an environment piece for my portfolio :P I'm thinking of this as a test to get an idea of the workflow from high poly to game engine, and I'd say it was a success :) It's too bad rdmlegend hasn't posted more, I liked where his…
We are clearly better at art because our squinty eyes allow us to see details that other people can't. Growing up using chop sticks helps strengthen the articulation of wrist and fingers... So drawing comes more naturally. Also, rice stimulates the right side of the brain so we are more creative... Especially after a good…
I had to log in just to reply to this. I first heard of ndo a few weeks back when I saw a tutorial but the links to download were dead... I will say now that I was gutted. Now I see THIS! Words can't measure how exciting this looks! Imagine the possibilities now with this! It would be interesting to see some workflow…
xerious3d That's true. Whenever my wife and I go on vacation, I unplug (well, other than Facebook on my phone). I get immersed in whatever we're doing or wherever we are and I don't think about work at all. It's amazingly good for the brain! You come back champing at the bit to get back at it... On a smaller scale, I've…
I can probably take this as a compliment? Ha ha! Here's the backside of my card with my personal logo on it. I think this is THE card for me. It's improved a great deal with everyone's help on Polycount and can't thank you all enough for it. Appreciate everyone dealing with me too. Ha ha! I'm not too worried about getting…
