Re: "They Don't Want You"
lol. So "go indie" is the solution? Haha, a decade ago it was called "freelance" but everyone knew you weren't ready yet to get hired. Nothing new here. Not a solution either. More like a duct-tape fix to stay afloat after being dropped from college into the real world. What he doesn't say is that mediocre people from… -
Re: Finding a Programmer
I'm a programmer, and I've done freelance work in the past. A lot of your questions come down to negotiation with the programmer themselves. There's no hard and fast rule about how these things work - the only strict advice I can give is to get everything down on paper and 'official' before agreeing to start. Be as… -
Re: On the topic of getting into 3D art...
Hey OP, I was in a completely same situation two weeks ago, I am switching to the 3D from app developer, cause I hate strictly defined programming rules and love freedom of the freelance with hopes that someday I can grow it out in a small studio. I started creating those "game-ready assets", but I don't play games. I… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback

Re: new reel
@Intermission, I've been doing animation and general 3D stuff for quite some time. Worked on a few DS games some years back, and few other game related freelance gigs. just never really got into games fully. Workshop 0 goes over fundamentals of Maya, animation curves, arcs, overlap, etc. They will recommend that most… -
Re: do you ever feel like you wont catch up?
haha, yeah I remember this advice. It's meant well but only applies for your personal work. Yet with an 8 hour job you still need to squeeze out something useful for your future career. I used to work on web pages, logos, small 3D ads for local companies and some low level game art before getting my first studio gig. What… -
Re: Flay Learns to Paint and Draw
I can already see, that you have something, others doesn't. It gets very, very interesting, as soon, as you start to play with lights in loose colour studys. This seems to be yours. Anyway, you are always sounding kind of unsatisfied. Maybe you are expecting more from yourself than the 30 min. quality but never have been… -
Re: Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates
This thread is about the idea of warezing/etc. and its a not a shame-on-you thread. Finger pointing and all that shit stops now. Consider this a first & last warning. :thumbup: To keep it on topic, here's a theory on illegitimate software useage I found interesting: I forget who it was, or perhaps where I read it, but I… -
Re: Character Artist Demo Reel - 2009
Have to agree with Brad, video is a bad idea for a modeler, only really animators should use them or if they specifically ask you for a demo reel. No-one will download a video when they've got dozens of folios to look through, get some high res images with your texture sheets, a beauty shot some construction shots with… -
Re: Attitudes about games
You are speaking for the industry... [ QUOTE ] We are very smart and capable adult professionals like yourself... [/ QUOTE ] And you are misleading. YOU are not a game developer. Blizzard, EA, Epic, are game developers. You are an "off-site freelance 'artist'" with little to show for himself and a lot to say on forums. […
