It shouldn't be a big deal, I use Blender and the 90% of the tutorials i'm following are in Max, so I guess you will be fine with Maya. I forgot to mention that if you're interested in characters you can check out Katon Callaway: I'm pretty sure he uses Maya (+ ZBrush) in his "Videogame Character Creation", but that…
Hmm. You do realize that CoD multiplayer is an excellent game, right ? That fact that you don't like it doesn't mean that everybody else playing is a dumb redneck. Also, there's no such thing as "the whole industry following it". Skyrim and GTA are perfect examples. For a game to be popular and succesful, it just has to be…
Yea, I have a widescreen and a fullscreen monitor, both at work and home. I could see it being nice for them to be the same, but it doesn't cause any problems. The only problem I could see would be if you wanted something to span from one screen to another, like a super wide image or videogame? I never want/need to do…

strong start on the truck! i know it's not the most exciting prop in the world but a level designer would really find it handy, especially if it comes in a color-shifting material variation, a beat-up one, and on possible without its wheels on to be put on blocks in some shit kicker's front yard. if variety is the spice of…
Turns out dick tastes terrible and I've got very few marketable skills beyond that, so I decided to try videogames :D When I was in kindergarten I wanted to make Nintendo games. For me it wasn't an issue of figuring out what I wanted to do, it was fighting the constant belief that it wasn't something I could do, and losing…
ru4it- the music is a group called 'advantage' , its a CD my brother gave to me a while ago, they recreate oldschool videogame songs with real instruments- pretty great for demo reels. What did you think of my models? Im about to model a few rock model sets for games to the reel. Also working on armor sets, a ferrari enzo,…
Well yeah probably, and trench warfare seems so goddam ineffective. Suicidal even. Charging over the top to whistles blowing and shouting, bayonets fixed, only to get caught up in barbed wire and mowed down by a Gatling gun?! Doesn't sound like fun in videogame form. Unless you're manning the Gatling gun of course! Could…
This being a game art website, you'll find very very few people around here with feature experience I'm afraid, but I guess it's worth posting. As an aside, FX houses really should reconsider their insistance on feature experience. There are many talented individuals in the videogame market who use the exact same tools and…
'the industry'? So do you now mean videogames or graphic design, or are you still putting them both in the same basket? Whilst I agree that the average 3D artist salaries are too low, with certain stars aligned it's perfectly possible in either profession to earn very good money. I'm glad you made the right choice for you,…
