Re: Gears of War 2 Art
Huh?... I think there's a misunderstanding of tone here. If Level 1 is Stephen hawking enthusiasm, and Level 10 enthusiasm is a 13 year old girl who just got a asked on a date by the Jonas brothers (whichever one, they're all hideous), then my level of enthusiasm is about a 4. So i don't know what you're talking about. I… -
Re: Discussion: Do you consider yourself to be an artist?
Yes, agreed on that all. At the end of the day, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is still just that; ceiling decoration. Michelangelo's Pieta too, is a world-renowned work of art, but you pretty much look over it when you're in St. Peter's Basilica... much like that crate that is the culmination of years of study and… -
Re: The importance of quads when modeling environments
I always push my students to keep faces no more than 4 vertices, simply because the last thing I want is UDK or any other game engine to handle the triangulation for me. It also is easier to manipulate with edge and loop rings to make adjustments. As mentioned - whether your face is a triangle, a quad, or a 500 sided… -
Re: Iran war?
Thanks Ely for bringing this back to the focus of what was posted. The scary thing to me is almost everyone I work with here is past military or has kids in the service, really, and they seem like they need little evidence to go ahead and invade Iran. Mop Some the older people about me, myself included are not too young… -
Internet Rot and brain drain: The loss of technical knowledge as sites and forums decay
Hi there. I made my account back when I was very young and frankly I hate this stupid username. But I don't feel like making a new account to post what I feel is an important message. I hope you will read what I have to say. I work as a pixel artist and 3D artist, and pixel art has had such a gigantic brain-drain that… -
Re: Portfolio curation and content discussion
I've been involved in the hiring loop a couple of times and know some recruiters, so I can give my perspective on some of the areas you might be confused about. This is some advice I've given to students or people struggling with their resume or portfolio For this one, I think what they are trying to say is: Look at people… -
Re: Been looking for Game Dev work for almost a year. Can I get some advice?
Pardon the mostly copy / paste but I think it pretty much applies to your situation perfectly- If you are applying to AA-AAA studios, your work needs to be at a higher standard. I recommend hopping on to Artstation and start searching for recently hired junior artists. Examine their portfolio's to see what the bar is and… -
Re: CGMA Online Course, looking for feedback!
CGMA took over the CG Society workshops. I took Phtogrammetry for Games CGMA with Jon Rush in order to learn the technique. I don't know any detail about the production modeling course, but the benefit of the course is having to submit work by a deadline, getting critiques, and then working toward a final scene that was… -
Re: Getting a Job overseas without a Degree, Can it be done?
Make more art. Improve your skill and content. That's what it comes down to. It's hard enough to get a junior job with 500 students and other juniors applying, who are not international. So unless you stick out from the crowd, there is a very slim chance to none, for a company to be willing to put money down on you (it is… -
Re: Jushra's Portfolio for Review/Critique
Hey Jushra, i've seen portfolio's and work like yours quiet a lot (mostly from students of mine) and it shares a quiet common problem. But first of i want to say that your sculpting and attention for detail looks quiet good already, same goes for your pencil sketches, you obviously know how to render with a pencil. Often…
