I've been at the same place since 2006, super stable, great pay and we hardly work over a 40hr week and crunch is a few days every 3-6mo. I've got a wife and a daughter and the job doesn't impact the time I spend with my family at all. But then again I'd give up the industry if it became unstable for me. I'd go back to…
Thank you! I have to say this is the first time I really spent time for a hobby of mine. Before I started things and stopped because I got bored or it was too hard, but this whole thing is so very rewarding that I just kept at it. Even if I had just half an hour on a few days, I enjoyed every second of it! =) But here's…
I did buy the model off the guy that sent it to me and I am spending my money on the materials and time to make these customs. I have purchased all my busts. A lot of guys in the custom scene started in the exact same way I am. I'm not doing this to make a living and it's just a hobby. I have made trades with other people…
yeah I have been meaning to get back into texture stuff. More of a hobby now. I do a film course at the mo at uni.. gonna be the next big thing just you wait! heh. The top one is a cartoon version of me.... yay! And the middle one I did in twenty mins yesterday just to see if I could still sketch a bit. hmmmmm I dunno. I…
[ QUOTE ] I wonder how they'll work this ending. I mean it has to be the most anticlimatic ending ever... The Aliens are about to conquer the world..... and then they die. No hero. No big explosions. No countdown to oblivion. I just don't get how they're gonna make that work for the common movie goer. [/ QUOTE ] Probably…
there's no lifedrawing in your sketchbook thread here, and work that you've posted largely suggests lack of it. if you want to do illustration/concept art type of jobs, having a solid observational drawing foundation is a must. keep whatever job you're employed at right now, save money and hire a mentor who would…
Have to second what Earthquake said. The question is how much is your budget and how close to AAA quality is good enough? If you can afford somewhere between $1,000-2,000 you might be able to get close enough for a hobby project. There's a new outsourcing site / studio called CG Hero and they have a large number of…
This is looking fantastic! A few things that jump out to my eye: - As a rider/hobby mechanic, there's an alarming gap between the fuel tank and seat pan. It looks like you may have missed some elements of the frame in that area. (For example: https://images.app.goo.gl/kjh4A42LcRrdiUzeA) - The rear guard (and licence plate…
Thank you Seraphinn! You´re right about the hands. For future work they are not ideal. I have to remake them anyway because I used dynamesh to merge them to the body and therefore lost the crease in the armpits... not the best idea on second guess, haha^^ I agree with you @"Wendy de Boer"! For an artist in the business it…
@shaderfx, from your posts, I assume you work for Autodesk. If not please excuse me, maybe some one else can answer to my questions. - I've seen all Stingray movies, and there are a few things about Beast and lightmaps. Shall I assume the engine do not support any real time dynamic global illumination? - Is Stingray able…
