Hey guys and gals :) I'm a german 2D artist who wants to dive into the ocean of 3D modeling because I noticed it's easier for my brain. Comments and critique are highly welcomed as it is my goal to be able to create working game models and assets one day. But I'm also interested in learning to render nice images with 3D…
Hey all! Many of you probably don't know me. I've been a longtime lurker on and have just recently made an effort to become more active. Long story short... I've just accepted a 3d Artist position at Turbine Inc! I'm so stoked about landing my first industry gig and I wanted to give a big thanks to all the folks at…
That's like saying i don't like Photoshop because their textures look bad. You can customize pretty much any aspect in speedtree. And things that you can't generate directly in speedtree you can still import as custom meshes. It's in full control of the artist to make speedtrees look good. And for what you have planned…
[ QUOTE ] Oxy, I live 30 miles away from where I work and am as fit as a fiddle. [/ QUOTE ] Yea, and you also live in a very urban area with lots of health options around you and the money to spend for a better diet. You have the educational opportunities to realize how things work. (BTW Im in good condition also, so Im…
I don't think your naive. Work hard enough and you may just make it, if not by the end of this year, then you'll still have made a huge step toward that goal and be closer to it. It's good to have really high goals, as long as you don't let them get you down if you find you can't make it. Not saying you can't make it…
Post on Polycount! I know what you mean. I'm not exactly freelance... but I am at home all day on my computer working or surfing. I usually just offset it by IM'ing with friends during the week, in games or on msn, and then on weekends going out and doing stuff. Still gets pretty bad. If you live in a more urban area…
Hey Slingshot, Thanks for the prop ideas. I'm trying to squeeze all the props and furnitues into 1 UV map, maximize the hell out of that UV space (and UVing eats up ALOT of time!). It'll probably be a 2048 map. I'm slightly surprised that the door looking thing didn't strike you as a closet - cause it is :P I guess it's…
Tried onlive, just the free 30 min demos they have. I think there is no question this is a viable direction games will be going. I don't think it will be THE thing to replace all platforms. I really just think they were a bit ahead of the curve. I personally wouldn't fully accept this tech until internet connection is as…
> I saw one of their games recently and saw my actual very art test in one of their games. NDA means you cannot tell (disclose) anything about their nature of work or anything that's not been released. NDA usually does not concern art test ownership. It could however be that you cannot show your asset, because you would be…
