Re: Depressed artist, anyone experiencing this?
I know @Joost mentioned it, but I think making time to exercise can really help. When I was working a retail security job after college I was easily at my lowest point because I went to college for game art, and turns out I was still an awful artist and was taught workflows decades old. All I did was wake up do studies, go… -
Re: [Portfolio] Danny Weinbaum - Environment Artist
really nice work, i've a few comments but really just being picky tbh - they're already very good. 1. are you using the bump offset node at all? (displacement map?) the tiled roofs and rough stone walls look a little flat atm without it. 2. your graffiti decal texture is slightly stretched over the drainpipe. i think you… -
Re: Photography tutorial for textures?
If you're using a tripod, you can get away with much slower shutter speeds, basically you don't need to worry about the shutter speed if it's a steady tripod. You should use a remote trigger in that case (wired or wireless) or simply use the 2 second shutter delay to ensure that you're not causing vibrations when pressing… -
Re: How many Polycounters use Twitter?
Twitter is a curious little thing. It's gone from micro-social networking to almost what you could call a cultural phenomenon within half a decade. Hell, the twitter accounts of stars make it onto the news every day now. Even sports channels keep up with the tweets of athletes. Public schools, police departments, and fire… -
Re: Job "On Hold" Status
I'll reverberate what others have said here, in that you need to continue to act as though you're unemployed - I actually prefer to market myself just like a business would - hearing new opportunities and weighing the options all the time, never letting my resume get too outdated, etc. I will disagree with Alphavader… -
Re: New Game Artist but with $0 in the bank?
Firstly, chronological order is a must, reorder the entries so they are in appropriate order. Get a personal summary, not a objective. you have little work experience so a paragraph personal summary will suffice. Sell yourself in this paragraph. Volunteer work was only for three months in 2011? It still should be above the… -
Re: FYP Pixie character animations
Hey, It would be cool to see these just as playblasts and in SyncSketch if possible to make notes. Overall they are all pretty good but there are some simple things that could be tweaked. The first thing I noticed was that the two arms on each side move at the same time on the movement animations, and in some attack… -
Re: Need Mentor help and advice for School assistance
Ah I see, well for starters these might be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkcb8GZP6zQ Also I'm only scratching the surface (...pun intended) myself, having recently began testing this popular surfacing workflow however too a limited extent due to an outdated primary workstation that essentially lacks the… -
Re: Game Industry Vs Family Life!? Help!
I don't want to sound like a jackass. I don't want to tell you how to live your live either. You're not exactly painting your wife in a great light, and I don't think that's fair to her. I'd assume there's probably a lot more substance to her stance of wanting to just stay put. I mean you were the one after-all that asked… -
Re: Technical Forums section added
Dude come on... If you want to exaggerate then by your/pior's logic we may as well just keep drilling down into more and more categories until we have one for every possible task. Hell I'm trying to collapse vertices in Milkshape3D can someone open up a subforum so I can drop a question in there to rot for eternity? And…
