Re: How deep into gaming engines do you need to be?
Being a 3d game artist without technical know-how is always a little bit strange. In a game studio you're not just making art. You're making art that's going to run in real-time for a game. That means you have to think about everything that you take for granted when playing games. You have weapon-models, how do you make it… -

Re: Texturing, where do you start?
With a color. ;) You might have triggered someone to make that for you, or they might see this as being a small issue. You know the names well enough, you just now associate them with there material slots.

Re: Guns You Own

It is you who is the fool who buys the software before reading up on it,… -

With 2-3 hrs a day, it means that you'll need to understand that whatever you're working on is going to be done in small… -
Re: Do you use tutorials, and how!
At the beginning I had the tutorial phase. Watched everything I could. In the meantime I tried what I saw in those tutorials. I couldn't watch whole tutorial at once since I became sleepy fast :P After some time you don't need tutorials. You know your way around. Even when you use new software you just skim through it's… -
How do you begin modeling a room
I know it seems like a very basic thing but I'm starting a new project and I would like to start on the right foot. If you were to model a room, how would you start?
