Introduce yourself - Page 41

Hi!
I'm 16 years old and I'm from Finland. I have been 3D modelling for past 4 or 5 years and I have used 3D Canvas, Gmax and currently Blender. In game modding I have experience in Torque engine and Westwood 3D engine (C&C Renegade). At this moment I'm trying to learn to make better textures as my modelling skills are good enough but I lack the ability to make good looking textures.

Hi everyone,
My name's Miles but people nickname me Boo (the j2 behind my name is the mapping studio I belong to

)
I'm an amateur texturer. I began doing this when making maps for FPS games (Counterstrike, Half Life, Quake 3, Valve's Source games,etc). I found out that the only way to truly make the map I have in my mind, is by making the textures I have in my mind too. Now I decided to become really serious about texturing and I plan to take evening courses.

I live in Belgium (Europe) and we barely have any game designing companies here unfirtunately. But my commitment for my hobby is strong and perhaps one day when I have a strong portfolio and more texturing experince, I'll search for a job in a company that needs texturers.

I hope there are veteran texturers in here. 'm always open to tips and opinions from anyone in the gaming industry or any artist.

Hello everybody,

Also from Belgium (the lack of game industry here

Come on, guys!!!

Thought I should join you, seeing as I found an answer to a question I had been hunting for here. Looks like an amazing resource of knowledge!

To start with introductions, I'm a recently graduated 3D Game Artist whose wandering around the web teaching myself more and more techniques and just upgrading my skills.
I'll start off right away saying "Thank you!" for the first bit of help and hope I can return the favour at some point

Hello!

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nathan and I am from Texas, east Texas to be exact. I stumbled across this forum today doing some searches for video game artist forums.

I've been working with 3d modeling for the last year and a half and to say my skills in it would be at novice level would be an overstatement. I did try going to school for game art and design but due increasing expenditures it was requiring and my lack of money thereof, I was forced to quit... yes I know, it's sad. That didn't deter me however, and I've pressed on by myself, something I do a lot of. I've done a few models or vehicles and such through tutorials I've found online and through my own experimenting but as I mentioned, there's still much more I have to learn. That's what I'm hoping to get here, some direction, some advice and some help where needed. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to do and learn this 100% by yourself.

Thanks,

Nathan

Hey Everyone,
I'm an art intern in the Dallas, Texas area. I moved here from California about a year ago. I do some pixel art, basic 2d animation, and low resolution textures for my internship (it's a cell phone game company). I'm trying to work on improving my texture art skills for the most part and thought this would be a good environment for that. I used to be a big forum goer on some rpgmaker forums (where I learned my pixel art) and that was a great motivation for improving my skills.

Anyway, I'm hoping to get in on some speed texturing in the forums. I'd also be interested in meeting some other artists from the Dallas area. See you around
