Re: How did Pros become Pros? (Directed (mostly) towards 3D Modelers / Texture Artists)
For me, I had the chance to learn some 3ds max in high school and I was hearing you could get a job in games without having to college/uni so it instantly appealed to me. I always loved video games so I started learning how to make game art (bad bad art in the beginning). I took a couple years to work on my portoflio,… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Alex Wells, Prop and Environment Artist
Hey guys its been a bit over 4 months since I started this topic and my big push to get my first industry job. So first off huge thanks to everyone who has given crits and helped me in any way.

Re: Freelance advice needed please:
I've been doing some freelance jobs in the past for clients I knew a bit. With project-terms clearly defined from the very start. Like price and time scale, poly and texture budgets, visual style/concepts etc. They gave me sample textures and reference 3d models so I could adjust my work to it. There was little room for… -

Re: AT&T's new datacaps
Ok, lets be realistic here. First off: A. Virtually every "unlimited" internet provided has caps, they just aren't apt to advertise them. If you're sucking a huge amount of data, your account will likely get limited. This varies, but 250gb isn't an uncommon cap even for "unlimited" service. B. Looking at actual legitimate… -
Re: Moving uvmap and texture simultaneously?
I believe it was Stimpack who originally posted this in the tread about a lantern being too green... anyway i copied out this system, as it hauls. Ive only used it once but i think this is what Vig is saying anyway; just thought I would try and keep passing this on. I am copy pasting this from someone else, this is not me;… -
Re: UV Tips and tricks?
I use headus a lot myself as well. The way I always did things was: - export several objects that need to share the same texture later as 1 OBJ file (sometimes up to 30 objects) - load it into Headus, get some coffee and spend to time on unwrapping all of them - in Uvlayout I group objects roughly together but I dont do… -
Re: Apple isn't playing nice
Glynn - Flash CS5 beta actually has an automatic solution to compile AS3 to iPhone ready Objective C. That is meaningless though in this context, that doesn't allow iPhone users to experience the enourmous amount of Flash that already exists on the internet, it simply allows Flash developers to publish work to iPhone, in a…
