Re: Can't land a job after graduating from college. Advice appreciated.
My advice: drop everyything from the portfolio and plan to spend two more years study/practicing. Apply for jobs in meantime if you want to but don't hold your breath. Make improving R2D2 your goal. Turn him into a properly optimized game model. Render him in unity or unreal. He should look indistinguishable from whatever… -
Re: Understanding Players with Player Psychology 👾
This is the point I made in the post- these are foundational authors and the field needs more statistical, scientific work to support them. Nick Yee and Chris Bateman, the 3rd and 4th authors I mention do just this. I can certainly see issues with designing games solely around players. As I mentioned, it's not always the… -
Re: alternative careers after 3d
sacboi- mainly meat pies, but just joking anyway, need to stop eating so much - maybe pie tester could be a good job:) NikhilR - not very practical right now, have a daughter and wife to support also.

Re: Software choices + workflow advice (Maya user)
Thanks for the replies. Sure made me think hard. I do get stuff done comfortably in Maya. In fact I love Maya. I just feel maybe I am too much in love and can't see it's short comings objectively. My Maya subscription ran out last month and I have not renewed it. I will start giving Modo a serious 1-2 week try and see how… -
Re: dDo beta is OUT!
It's really fun to see so many tests popping up! Can't wait to see what you'll create once you start experimenting with full customization, creating your own details and super intricate presets. We'll do our best to supply you with proper video learning material shortly to really get you going. For the very basics, don't… -
Re: Subsurface Scattering Research and Experimentation
UDK doesn't give your access to the finer points of shader making (EI: Shadows and Light) and it seems alot of the stuff which is taken for granted in the standard material get taken away from you when you go custom. So you kinda have to 'fix' them yourself, which is a paradox itself, since from one side, it simplifies the… -

Re: [COMPLETED] NEXT Girl
Updated texture pass! I tried to bring up the values and saturation on her gear, and I'm mostly finished with the skin (hopefully she looks a little less dead) and hair now. To try and mix things up I wanted to see how she might look with some different colors, so I threw together a few alternative options together. Any… -
Re: Darksiders - Out Tuesday 1-4-10
I really like the look of the pieces of art in the game (especially the FX), some of it is really stunningly good. I want to like it enough to buy it, but some things are really turning me off and keeping me from ponying up the cash. - The main character is completely unsympathetic. He is a soulless emo suit of armor… -
