Re: Illistration to Video game art,any advise?
That was my exact career path John. I spent several years as a freelance illustrator before deciding that I wanted to make my hobby ( game Art ) my career. However, this case is a little different. As Paul said, If her particular interest is concept Art for videogames, then no, she needs no serious knowledge of how to make… -
Re: Maya/Aztec/Inca Environment WIP
Hey everybody - Sorry to dig up this old post but I finially got some time free to texture one of the wall components. It's made up of a color, normal and spec map. After realizing rendering out this whole scene might take a little more time than I have right now ( < fulltime job + freelance + family) ... I think finding a… -
Re: re travel and hotel expenses for contractors

I don't consider the people here fools man. Its one thing having your accountant tell you the… -
Re: My graduation project
I did game and 3D direction. Worked for almost a year at a Visualization company (but it kinda drained my creativity), and now I am working freelance. Just finished my first job, hopefully I can show something soon, but for now I can't. How was your experience with CMD? I always felt like I wanted to learn more then they… -

Re: Max 8 Videos
I had to do a freelance job recently using Max 5.1 and it was just painful. I kept thinking how much faster I could be working if I were using 7, and I actually did switch to 7 for some of the modeling and then export back to 5. And now 8 is even faster for uv unwrapping and skinning. You don't realize how much more useful… -
Re: Polycount, now and then
I think I'm a hobbyist bordering on pro. I'm going to do a couple more years of freelance while I put together The Ultimate Generalist Reel! It's pretty frustrating for me, since I have all the equipment/software I need, and I'm out of school, but I'm staying here in Norman for a few more years. If I was just a little… -
Re: is this even possible
Replied to the PM Vig, Thank you. Hopefully all these are options for the Pelt mapper are allowed in Max 9 , I always thought Pelting was only good for organics, not really meant for hard surface models. But I have no idea And thanks again for the compliment guys, now If i can just low poly model and unwrap as good as I… -
Re: wtf m8 i kant get no jerbs
I work for a small indie firm, and it's probably harder to get work here than at a larger more prestigious company. Overheads are small, and IMO they tend to recruit friends or associates - and are nervous about 'new' people. You're far better off freelancing for them (if you can get it), anything part-time or off-site is… -
Re: how's the salary for artists??
For me, increasing my income is a separate issue from evolving my art career. Sometimes they go hand in hand, but mostly I've pursued challenge/fun over pay. The way I see it, if I want more money, I'll stop working for someone else and start my own business, or go freelance, or move into a different market altogether.…
