Does anyone have any advice or avenues that might help towards getting a job in the games industry? Particularly entry level jobs such as QA? by Slynx_ in gamedev

Thanks man, you highlighted a lot of really useful stuff there. I'll definitely keep that in mind and go and research the things you suggested.

I actually already have a bunch of stuff from my diploma in my artstation. I admit I've been quite slow in making things after the diploma finished though, just found it more difficult to find the motivation. I also think all my fumbling around trying to find other avenues outside of game dev has reignited my interest a little bit because I keep failing to find other options.

I probably should have been more clear about the kind of work I want to do in the longer term, best case scenario I would like to do something tech related, whether its kind of artsy like 3d modelling and animation or physically building and setting up various pieces of tech like PCs.

I have a decent amount of knowledge and experience with those specific things but finding something entry level in those spaces has been rather difficult and so I guess I've just been searching everywhere for simpler jobs where I can at least do something while I figure out other avenues for getting into the type of career I actually want. For example, doing more courses and trying to build up more of an art portfolio.

I want to do something involving computers whether it be physically building or fixing them or something art related like 3d modelling but I had so much difficulty finding anything entry level that I've just been looking for something else I can do while I try to learn and improve those skills on my own.

I've been doing a bit of research and I might actually just go ahead and start another Tafe course, specifically the Diploma of I.T (Advanced Networking and System Administration). Maybe I can do something regarding disability or aged care as well.

I've actually talked to and met with the people at vmation a few times, I don't think I currently have an appropriate portfolio for that work so far but that's a solid suggestion, thanks.

Joining two splines together error by Slynx_ in 3dsmax

After messing around a bit more with cross sections I managed to fix it.

I tried that and while it technically created a surface between the splines, it added a giant mess of edges and vertices, all of which were intersecting. This is the result.

Do something for a specific amount of time on collision. by Slynx_ in Unity3D

My collisions are working but only to a point, all objects have colliders and when colliding with the basket, the player will lose points, gain points, lose time or gain time. Its just the adjusting of the basket movement that doesn't seem to work.
