OMG sorry I forgot to put a wish and killed the thread lol
I wish I was a wizard.
-
Thanks those links were awesome, told me all the info I wanted to know. So according to this programming is not needed.
Thanks a lot, now I'm going to start self teaching myself because the colleges require a portfolio.
-
What kind of math skills do I need to be a video game artist? I want to do texturing but might be interested in branching out into modeling and animating do those require math skills too?
This is just to see what I'm up against as I want to get into the field.
-
I don't understand because of the censoring.

Granted, but you receive the check upside down and accidentally drop it into the center of a pentagram. Mistaking it for a "666", the devil appears and brutally murders your character.
I wish I had 180 Set Bonus gear.
(LOL! good one)
Granted but Zeus appears out of nowhere and says "Only I can be that powerful!" and you go completely mad because you never know Zeus existed and the initial shock.

Jajawaja

Wish granted. The Jedi, however, forgot to ask for seats on those bicycles. Watch out for bumps.
I wish
.Granted but Skee-Lo goes to alcoholism.
I wish I had 999 billion credits ingame.
-
Just one more question, do I have to have any math skills to be a video game graphic artist? I'm leaning towards the texturing side so just wondering.
-
I had to google it just to see what it was.
What exactly has you so giddy over it OP? There are like NO details yet...what am I missing?
Ikr theres nothing to get excited about yet lol.
-
I hated even typing that title. I love SWTOR. I have been here since prelaunch. But I must admit that for some strange reason I think I might at least try Titan.....and I think a lot of you would too.
Ok so go ahead and bash me...
I don't know what Titan's current fate is but last I heard it's dead and all of it's resources were being diverted to WOWs next expansion.
So don't get your hopes up it's like dead.
-
see if you can get some details on what they want to see specifically in a portfolio. schools usual have parameters that they are willing to share.
that said... and this is from being acquainted with some of the people in a business, while you do want to specialize, you also want to have active knowledge of other aspects of video game related art. it increases your chances of being hired, if you can pitch in outside of your specialization.
also bear in mind. its a highly competitive field. and stressful one, especially during crunch times.
I don't care it's truly my passion and I enjoy art of course I'd have to learn the software. But the biggest challenge I think is going to be building my portfolio and getting into a college, my 21st birthday is in two weeks and I'm going to be middle aged by the time I get accepted to a college LOL!
Wish me luck and thanks for the help.
-
Oh the field I'm interested in is texturing, I didn't really know the different fields till you listed them. I have absolutely no experience in those other fields but texturing is pretty close to watercolor which I do have experience in.
-
So I've found something I want to study in college video game art, SWTOR was a big part of my inspiration to pursue this I admire all the beautiful art that the Bioware team comes out with both concept art and ingame, of course it could very easily take many years to be as good as them but it's a field I'm very interested in.
I've been browsing colleges I want to do the game art course online but all of them I looked at require me to have a portfolio of the digital art, problem is that I have no experience I can't make game art for a portfolio I have no skills for.
Are there any online colleges that provide training without a portfolio? How do I get skills and experience when all of the training is at the college but need experience to make a portfolio to get into the college?
I really don't know where to start, any help and advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Next time? They've had several east coast and european events in the past already. Don't miss them when they do it again.
Yeah, so what else is new, hehe. I've been living in SoCal for 36 years, even when we've had a sh*t ton of rain they still tell us we're in a drought. They don't expect people to travel to cantina events from other states, but people will be in town because of Comic-Con.
There's a reason why things like this exist...Florida is America's Wang, man. You don't want to live in the wang.

The Orlando area has a good sized video game culture here, there's video game colleges here Full Fail, Dave School, etc, a nice handful of development studios around the Orlando area even EA Tiburon and Artix Entertainment is here (well Artix is over next to Tampa but within arms reach). But we rarely have any events here because nobody wants to take the risk.
I'm originally from Los Gatos California and I got out of there because it's expensive and it still is I've heard.
-
Lol, nothing in the actual city burned, it was the brush in the suburban outskirts.
Yeah, the humidity in FL is so thick it would just put a fire out before it starts.
Yeah I was kinda joking but California is going through a major drought and water shortage and it's very expensive. Florida is affordable and lots and lots of humidity here I love it. But I wonder why California gets all the good events even Star Wars celebration just moved there from Orlando but now we got nothing.

I shouldn't have to be bothered with the leveling experience again. Bioware plz introduce an instant 55 button for legacy level 50's. Or atleast make a quadruple xp weekend every week. Thank you, that is all.
Well that's what makes it a game apart from cheating, work for it or perhaps games aren't for you.

Hey everyone!
We are back at the Commons Bar this year for our Cantina Tour Event in San Diego. If you are at Comic-Con or just in the area, please stop by and hang out with us!
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all there!
San Diego just burnt up lol! Come to Orlando Florida we never have fires here and we have pie
-
I'm really looking forward to it, I'm subbed already. But I can't load a video on your video player at all, video loads just fine on youtube.
-
Wow Bioware thanks! Double EXP weekend my favorite and I've always wanted my own Astromech like R2 and I usually don't like pets but I will my Astromech!
But next time I want my very own Super Star Destroyer.
-
This is not SWG, it will never be SWG. It is specifically meant NOT to be like SWG. This is not a sandbox MMO like SWG was, so free flight would be pointless.
I don't agree.
-
Yes it means you won't have free roam space combat because this game is not a sandbox.
It's not a crime to add it anyway lol.
-
I think you should stop trying to turn this game into SWG.
Is that supposed to mean something?
-
Okay, but why? What would having free space get you? You just fly around until you run out of fuel? What is the point of free space supposed to be?
Exp, space quests, space heroics, space flashpoints, space combat, there is a lot of things that can be put in free space. And would attract more players to SWTOR.
Why shouldn't it be in the game? What would not having free space get you?
-
Thank you for the update! I can't wait but it'll be worth the wait.
corrupt a wish!

Granted, but you get a subliminal thought to swallow it, you swallow it, choke and die.
I wish I had a kings throne made out of solid emerald.
