I look back at my education and realize that I tried to relied too much on professors and classmates for information. In my career, at least at the beginning, I also asked my coworkers a lot of questions, too. The problem for me was that starting out, I didn't realize just how many resources there were out there. I was…

I was doing character art but the art pipeline is…

Also, when would you high poly to low poly bake or when to low poly bake only? I am currently working on a Resident…

My full name + .com brings up someone else's portfolio which…
