It's an interesting read Ben and is most definitely sound advice for the most part. I do feel it could use a little 'optimization' though. It's just a little on the fat side. Also I think it's written slightly too much from your personal perspective with your experiences woven in there as If it were fact. For example I…
Yeah, this is a scam going out. Got this email from 'segaremotejobs@gmail.com'. You don't need to pay too much attention to be able to figure out how dumb it sounds. $70 per hour, part time, proficient with pencil and paper. The whole thing was just ridiculous. I feel people new in the industry are easy targets, because…
Update time! I've been busy with freelance work so far this weekend, but today I finally got a chance to try some of the ideas you all had mentioned. BradMyers82, thanks for the picture! I checked out more of Ori and the Blind Forest- Wow!! Such incredible backgrounds and lighting! The colors might be different from what…
My first thought seeing the page was... :/ hmmm Carbonmade. I have been seeing Carbonmade more and more. And the porfolios sort of start looking like carbon copies of each other. I specifically can think of 2 other 3d artists who have the exact same theme as yours. I don't know the limitations of carbonmade... but, I would…
Hey guys! Sorry I didn't answer earlier! Had a LAN party here at home, playing dat LoL and Tekken all night! :) Andreas, I have emailed Touch Arcade that monster mentioned as well as TIG Source, which is an indie blog. I haven't heard from them yet. I'll try some others I guess :) might have to send a redeemable code as…
Hey Slosh, Garriola, Great crits from you both. thanks. I'm probably not likely to come back to this any time soon (too much to do, so little time.. ugh). But i feel like i should let you know why i made certain design decisions. Looking at it now, i definitely see what you're talking about with materials and how they…
Melissa ... don't know if you've made plans for AFTER graduation from UNT, but you might want to consider stopping by Guildhall at SMU on Dec. 9th. ( There will be a show of games from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, showing off recent student work. There will also be some folks from the industry there. You also might want to…
Thank you so much for giving me this great advice and yes I also come from the friesepoort and went to the NHL after ;) . As it happen to be, I was just updating my artstation account after reading the same article! I only had a couple of artpieces on there because I was too focussed on my website. So now I'm trying to do…
Is it really? You can do that same trick and keep it all quads (see C2 & D2), by removing every other edge from your 40 tri cylinder and rotating the top ring of edges 20 degrees then flipping the hidden edges (if you're in Maya you're forced to triangulate it). OR Take the top ring of edges in your triangulated example…
