thx, its almost 7k polygons for each of the mechs, well, there are polygon budget and it is crucial for not exceeding it >< its tough for me actually...

so you're in this field too? great! got sifu to kacau! i'm not really professional in this field yet, but i do know the work flow and tricks as a game artist cuz i've been work as intern in local game company. greatly interested into this field, and i heard salary oso not bad

i've done internship training in codemasters studios in msia, cool studio and when everytime ppl know that i'm workin in there, they will like... 'woah!!', but for me, it's just another office work, although salary there is not bad, but as u said, we are paid to work, job scope are too narrow, thats y i'm taking some minor projects from US also, but with my newbie qualification, i'm currently doing it for free, and get some allowance only. hmm, wish to develop my career oversea leh, msia seems got not much chance

well said, cuz from wat i've seen from US IGDA statistic, a junior game artist should make at least USD67k annually, but in msia, its hardly reaches USD30k even you are senior artist... i might think of getting into VFX field or... well, go back to the studios i've worked on, to learn whatever i can, most important, i got money to give papa mama every month! ha ha...

you can read my mind! i juz registered career fair to singapore! got lucasfilm, ubisoft there, very very tempted

ILM... lucasfilm.... I'm gonna kill you! GRRR,

i'm always thinking bout working with them especially ILM... love the way they work, and huge space to explore as an artist! maybe you can gimme some tips what should i aware of when i'm trying to apply for job? good portfolio? good essay? or any specification that they want to see? i'm a motion grapher, working hard in modelling, texturing, and loves to master in concept arts (cant excel in so many aspect within such short time yet), and of course... i love VFX (had limited knowledge of vfx because the lag of exposure from my university)

here's my showreel and DA site...

3Ds max + Vray would be a very nice combination to start off, or you can also try maxwell renderer, very realistic renderer but resource consuming.

high speed processor with very high cache, and lots and lots of RAM, graphic cards are not so important as it is used for displaying in veiwports only, unless u're working with real time directx shaders like game industrial does. but if u wanna invest in workstation graphic cards, i would suggest you go for quaddro cards, if u hav extra penny...

These are my early workpieces for an MMORPG development, 'MecTech Online'.
Apparently the game is short of funding and the team was shutdown... it could be the 1st open world aim and shoot piloting game... wasted...







these are more recent workpiece of mine in local games studio,
I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to post these pics but if I'm not allowed to do so, please give me an advise and I'll take it off...








PS: the racetracks are credited to the artists who had built it, obviously not me...

all comments are welcome, looking forward to learn from you all...

thanks cyprid~
i used to love high poly model as well, but my lousy pc keeps crashing whenever poly goes over 200k tris
now learning to control model's silhouette, optimize models to give an illusion of 'high poly'

thanks!

hah! thx peenutt, already taken out viewport pics

in my opinion, blue print is not as important. blueprint usually guide me for very early stage of modelling, just to get a rough proportion, because end of the day, you'll notice that blueprint is always out of accuracy, it's the pain in the ass if you follow it too much... reference photos are more important if you ask me...
