Hello and Welcome, My name is Chris Hott and I am an artist aspiring to work on games. I currently develop ELearning training for a government contractor while working on my Masters in Game Development at the Academy of Art. My goal at the moment is to get on a 3d game/simulation project either within government contracting or in a studio. I have made some progress in dedicating hours building assets towards a simulation for another team but have not been able to make it full time yet. This page is dedicated to my growth. To show others that I am passionate about my field and am making progress in it. In addition, for my current midpoint preparation class, it will be a place to log my efforts and process towards my thesis. Post #1: Creating Terrains in UE4 with World Machine This was a practice in exporting splat maps from World Machine to UE4 and to test what level of control I could have over a terrain. The shot directly below is me playing with volumetric and atmospheric control...

Self-Critique

The ability to self-critique is a must have skill that I honestly haven't practiced too much. Most times I rely on others to find things I missed, which is fine if you've given your work a hard look first. I figured this would be a good time to start practicing. *Before I begin I want to share my personal insight into the process of drawing. If you would like to skip this part you can check out my critique below. So many times (character design, sculpting, and modeling classes) when trying to learn to draw I have been given an anatomy book and was instructed on proportion and measurements. I personally do not like this approach and feel it does not cover the entirety of what is needed to really practice successfully. It wasn't until I took a fine art drawing class at the Academy of Art that I really understood what drawing, in its entirety, was. When I was told to just draw I did just that, I mindlessly drew...which teaches nothing (believe me I learned nothing in 2 yea...

Checking out the Forums!

Alright! Over the past two days I've done some research on critiquing websites and I wanted to share my findings. On the list we will review Conceptart.org Polycount Reddit Conceptart.org: At first glance I thought the site looked great. That experience changed upon my very first click. Let me try to paint the picture that is the typical user experience: Click on register, go to a page with a list of LevelUp subscriptions that have no description. You now have two branches: Click pricing at the bottom of the page which takes you to a page that finally describes the service (which is basically throw your money at some guy who might look at your work...by the way you can't find that guy's portfolio...). The second branch is you hit sign up...which leads to failure! This doesn't register you to Conceptart.org, it registers you to LevelUp (and that's if it even recognizes your registration). You actually have to choose door number three which is F...
