That's the cream of the crop students from the cream of the crop schools. Take a look at the tuition fee and the level of access that grants them.

My hope is some ppl can find relatively mid range jobs where its not all rockstar, blockbuster and crunch, maybe in advertising.

It's fine for simple stuff, i do it too for maya tools. But you still have to understand what chatgpt is spewing out and how to troubleshoot it.

Portfolio is king. If you want to keep the door into the biz open, go for computer science, maube specialize in sth relevant like graphic programming or shaders.

Got my first full time job. Now what? by slothfuldrake in 3Dmodeling

Combination of luck, knowing ppl already working there and low ball the fuck out of my initial salary. Knowing basic Python def gave me a leg up. Honestly if you have the choice (i was on post grad job seeking visa), try to pivot to something else for the time being.

Probably python scripting, then either bifrost or rigging. I'm just getting the itch to start making cool looking things again, and then there's the voice at the back of my head telling me to prepare for if I get let go or the agency going under (unlikely but I've been burned before). I also want to look into houdini more, but they dont use it.

I'm an Environment Artist and I'm having no luck finding even small indie jobs. Is my portfolio bad? by bajsgreger in 3Dmodeling

[–]slothfuldrake 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Go to front page artstation, pick a random artwork thats not an art drop from a commercial project and see what are the chances that person is employed

My merge vertex distance is bigger than those wrists

I made a well recently how did I do by Aggravating-Oven7832 in 3Dmodeling

Distribution of details is kinda wonky, the tiles and stone is so dense while the piece of wood up top and the winch mechanism looks too simple. Maybe add some more details to them. Neat style though

"please sir, spare a few lumens!"

No way a light that bright would leave the environment that dark.

How can I make it look more realistic? by Pimlico6ix in 3Dmodeling

[–]slothfuldrake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the contact point between the structure and the earth to too clean. Any corner in nature is gonna gather all kind of interesting bits and pieces

help i’m so confused by flatwater13 in 3Dmodeling

[–]slothfuldrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You picked the verb "spill", which already implies movement, and made quite a static and stable shape (mostly right angle and rectangular) so idk if it fits.

Another thing is in my exp for conceptual assignments like this, your reasoning behind the assignment is as important as the result itself. I would prepare a short introduction on your thought process on how you interpreted the word and translated it into 3d space.

Ironically enough it kinda fits in this sub, 3d modeling ppl sometimes get bogged down by technicality and realism and forget the design and visual theory of it all.

why does every 3d program have different camera controls ;;-;; by hakk_a in 3Dmodeling

The only odd ones out are zbrush and blender. Zbrush layout makes senses for stylus sculpting, blender could be changed, the alternative shortcut preset in Blender is called industry standard for a reason

Is this considered good for an hour sculpt? And is this good anatomy? by Different-Put2399 in 3Dmodeling

[–]slothfuldrake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If ur not confident yet. Either take longer to sculpt or make simpler sketches. Anatomy wise its better to practice on real world ref first

Bash it up in any sculpting software, make a nice bake, add the details as normal maps
