Xpletive LLC, an Austin studio needs a 20s attract loop for an exhibit we are developing for the National Park Service. There is only one animated character (a tree frog) moving through a lush forest environment but this needs to be near photo-real or at least hyper-real. As such, applying artists need to show that they…
Hey, I've been using Polycount on and off for a while now (mostly observing). A work colleague found this competition and suggested I do it. I'm going to give it a go :) I have a great love of all things Mesoamerican, specifically the Art and Architecture. I found a very interesting piece of art work, I think it was for an…
ouch. that sucks :( really sorry for you man. That's really lame business practice...I hope you know a lawyer or someone who can put their boot in their a** I think it's good when you share such stories. Maybe eventually studios realize that their recruiting companies suck and drive away talent instead of attracting it. MS…
Things are looking really good! But I also think you have to high of a polycount on the o_o_o_o, try to do more _^_^_^_ if possiable?. If you want to show this in your portfolio for later it might be smart to show that you can use normal mapping good. Its is way easier to just do a highpoly while cranking down your…
jeeze... the ambient track in the background makes it seem like everyone died there. I really think this sort of expenditure would be better put making expensive, ridiculous tourist attractions in Shanghai or Beijing or something.. science r&d? I mean really.... not sure why you would build something that depends on…
@ ANTON_ Mate, this is free market policy, it is not likely going to change any time soon. Polycount Admins often argue that such rates can be attractive for artists working in other countries. If you are specialist in this field, I would recommend that you post what hour-rate this job requires. This could help less…
The general question of whether art degrees are worth it has been discussed plenty. However, in the current 'Great Recession', the option of going to college and getting a degree should look much more attractive to most people, if the other option is trying to immediately get a job in this horrible job market. Being able…
I agree with Dinfet, I think what makes women, well.. what a large consensus believe one thing that makes women sexy are Curves and long curvy sexy legs. like Supermodels are always tall and have sexy long legs. And that can transfer over to a mermaid, is giving her a long sexy tail with those pretty colors for attracting…
hmm.... that's too bad.... i guess this will put things a little more into perspective for Rockstar when deciding if they want to do more PC stuff. Might not be worth it... i dunno... GTA should be better on PC since you can mod it. Maybe that is what is lacking in the game to attract more PC gamers. @SCUD: i thought the…
Speaking of mess, i'm not sure why would you overlay an endless looping animation on buttons... that thing is incredibly distracting. Also, free products have outlines and are separated but new products are clumped together with no borders to distinguish them. That isn't very user friendly. I agree about info - you wrote…
