The things we look for in Game artists (in order of importance)...
1) Traditional art skills such as figure drawing.
2) Tool skills, specifically Max (3D Studio): Modeling, Animation, Textures
3) Personality fit: Good team skills, good attitude, leadership skills are a plus for aspiring art leads.
4) Passion for playing computer games: If you dont love the end product your in the wrong business.



well the last point is for me :D
third maybe,too

what job couöd you offer me now :D

I would be very happy to come out of retirement and consult for you, I have done that sort of thing for years before I retired. :)

thank you very much tony. Now all i gotta do is get better with 3d studio max. but those programs are really expensive:( oh and what type of education should i have.

Business, economics, maths, for businessmen. But depending on your career you take different courses. All things like 3d studio cost a lot.

It really doesn't matter if you learn your 3D skills with 3D Studio or some other cheaper modeling/animating software. Once you have the skills they translate easily from tool to tool. The key thing is for you to find out whether you enjoy it and whether that passion is enough to drive you to become excllent at it.

All but one of our artists went to art school for traditional training. There are very good art schools such as "Art School" and "Sheridan". They are hard to get into, but if you can get in you can make a good living as an artist. However, many very good artists come from lesser known and less expensive schools.

Our one artist that didn't receive formal training as an artist used to be a lawyer. So thats an option too. :)

How many Harvarders? Now over here they do not care about what uni you went to.

Not I. You a Harvard grad, JSB?

I went to a school call the University of Texas. "HOOK'EM HORNS!!"


But I dropped out. So I'm not setting a very good example.

Well that just shows you can be successful with no Degree. I studied at Cambridge.

it´s a pitty here in germany
even with a excellent school finish it´s not sure you get a job!
i donßt know if you guys know anything of the unemployment rate here in germany but i´t will soon hit 11%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

wow! :eek:

yea that´s really horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

11% Ouch. Thats tough.

During the dot com boom I thinnk we (US) were south of 3%. Now, we just hit a five year high at 6%.

6% is fine but 11% just thin about that every tenth person you see in munich city has no job...

Holy shit that isn't good at all dude- especially when you consider how very talented Germans are indeed- perhaps you guys in Germany who can't get jobs should emigrate to somewhere that you can- for example- one of the Biology teachers at Moss1O6GTi's school couldn't get work in Germany so she emigrated to New Zealand and found a job with ease :)

if it would be so easy...
we germans often don´t want to relocate when we look for a job.
and many speak a bad english (like me :( )
well i´m now 18 years old and it´s my last year at school.
i have no clue what i´ll do when i finished school.
i´m not sure if i want to study something.
maybe i´ll move to england for half a year or a year to improve my english!!!
but i´m scared because i don´t know anybody there.
maybe i could also go to america!

hey someone here who would accomodate me for some time? :D


well i just read in the newspaper that the unemployment rate is only 10% well still enough!

:rolleyes:

Tony, congratulations, and Happy Birthday! I am extremely interested in your work. I have been programming video games since grade 2, until "education" got in the way. As of the new year, I am getting back on track. I love video games and computer rendered graphics.

Hey, DNovo. Since you seem to have a lot of Murcielago pics, can you hook me up with an ice blue one? There are a couple on your website, but no really good ones. Well, if you got one please help me out and post it. If not, thanks any way, and you've got a great site. :)
