Re: I'm finding it impossible to land a job
Now I have ambitions of being a freelance game artist and I might not have real world experience(in the game industry at least) I can give you one piece of advice, hide the crane, I mean it's not poorly modelled(texture isn't very... compelling though) or anything, it's just relatively low quality compared to your star… -
Re: "The Only Thing I Know..." Let's talk about being a gamer, life balance, and the biz.
oddly enough watching this made me realize that I have barely played any games of late. If I have freelance work on I do that intensely till its done then just hang around the house moaning about being bored. I only like certain kinds of games, ie adventure type games like tombraider and some driving games, so the kind of… -
Re: Joe's Recent Work
chrisradsby, Ben Apuna: Thanks for the information. Yeah I played with the specular intensities and Fresnel values in Marmoset, but I gotta fix the specular map, clearly. Found a bunch of UDK tutorials, learning that now. odium, BradMyers82: Thanks for the solid review and all the crits. The spec here isn't just a… -
Re: To Quadro or not?!
From what I've read in 3D World magazine, there is not much difference in HARDWARE between a professional card and a high-end consumer card. The difference is in the support you receive, and the drivers. The pro cards are highly optimized for OpenGL. I'd say if you're doing freelance game art, you're probably going to be… -
Re: Got my website back up!
I think its hard to crit a portfolio that isn't intended to be used to get a job or freelance contracts.

Re: Looking for clues on how to break into writing for games.
well, all the writers I know I met at Mythic but it seemed they all came from tabletop RPG backgrounds. It's possible to get freelance writing gigs with various RPG publications. From what I've seen, Bioware's writing test is pure writing, no module stuff (that would be more of a content designer job). Now not many… -
Re: Dragon Age
Man I just ordered the thing using money made from this freelance gig I'm doing. It's so satisfying mostly because I played Baldur's Gate II on my first year of uni (it was like 3 years old by then) and it still is the best game I've ever played so far. Here's hoping that Dragon Age is better, it feels like the completion… -
Re: Graphic Design Hero: Tells off Craigslist
[ QUOTE ] I am amazed though at how often you guys reference bad pay/treatment in the industry. This was a career path I considered when I was a teen, but chose not to follow and it makes me glad I didn't. I'm going to stick with my electronics/programming path and just design as a hobby [/ QUOTE ] This is a post from a… -
Re: And another Polycounter is born!
Hey congrats to you both. Enjoy it while it lasts cause any dad or mom around here can agree they grow up fast. I'm a lucky guy. Since starting freelance I have been able to stay at home with my son while my wife goes to work away from the home. It's brought me a lot closer to my son and made me enjoy my time with him a… -
