Re: What degree do you think is better!
Computer Science. Learn how to program, teach yourself how to animate and model in your spare time and with electives while in your Comp Sci program. Get a 3D motive monthly subscription + making goals + Polycount = profit. Honestly, you do not need school to learn how to be a game artist. Most people that need hand… -
Re: z-brush UVS and textures
SLIVIZ said: "I have no subdivisions on the model so I used the zrmesher method to create a low poly version of my model. I then created a UV map of the low poly subtool of my model, copied and pasted it into the high poly subtool and hit morph UV to check it. The uv map lost all its shape and was basically a mess."… -
Re: Timeless Art
Yeah, I'd agree. Changing to a more permanent medium, and a less saturated medium, will increase your chances of being remembered, if you're any good or particularly unique. Digital art, being endlessly duplicatable, and there being no "original" art-piece, is an odd sort of thing. Combine that with amazing digital artists… -
Re: Droid Female 2.0
Today has been a very dark day. For the past week I have been getting these low memory warnings from windows. "Fuck you, Windows, I have 16 gigs installed, you silly bastard! Warnings? I heed no warnings!" So there I was painting in 3dcoat, all sorts of pretty occuring(arbritrary perspective here).... then black screen!… -

Re: Final Year 3D Film Progression
Overall great concepts. I didn't visit your blog yet to see if you have a description there, but i think it would be helpful to post a small description here( story has a big impact on character design). If story is your main point of focus(and it should be :) ), everything else should help getting your point across. The… -
Re: Online colleges worth it?
You may want to try one course before you start an online program. It also depends on what type of education that you are after (modeling, animation, etc.). Escape Studios, for example, has some good training for CG (Maya modeling, etc.), but it there are no "grades>" It is "self-study" whereby you learn only if you… -
Re: Math is needed!
If you're doing a lot of volumetric lighting for shaders, or you're messing with the application's use of tangent space, then yes, you'll need Math as all hell. 90% of what makes a game "next gen" is the stuff no one thinks about; the shaders, volumetric lights, occlusion, physics particles, and similar math based… -
Re: Web hosting
Check out http://lowendbox.com/ This site aggregates good deals on VPSs, just check out the comments and see what other people say about the provider. The prices are all recurring afaik, the ChicagoVPS server I keep is $29/y. This may not be appropriate if you don't want to invest a bit of care into starting up a VPS -… -
Re: Stump
Ok. So first listen to what the others above have said. Its a tough industry to get into, so it will require a lot of work to get there. Don't keep making threads for each model in your scene, it will just annoy people. Get an imageshack or photobucket account (its free and easy). When posting images use the imbed code eg:…
