Hi there🙋🏻‍♂️, can I have both characters and props in my portfolio? I heard it can decrease my chance to get hierd? Is it true?

Thank you for useful tips🙏🙋🏻‍♂️

Please, Siamak. Come back to make new videos. We all need your insights.

I thought this had happened way longer ago. I'm a sculptor too, traditional and digital, I'm chilean and I'm trying to find a digital sculpting job in Australia, I want to migrate here, but this story always stayed with me because it has so many similarities with my own story. I need a sculpting job maybe in the industry because that might help me with the permanent residence. I'm worried though, I know I'm good but I don't know if it is possible, neither if it is a good idea. I have a business degree too but I don't know if that'll help. I hope to get as many lessons from this story as I can. Thanks so much for sharing.

what happened to badship ?

sometimes i think the people who run this world want to push AI to kill those art and creative jobs so they can push more people into physical work. You know doing construction, warehouse,plumbing ,waiters, etc. Because i think the world is struggling to find labourers and they are sick of importing immigrants to do so. Elon Musk could not create robots to do shitty labour jobs right? so they need humans to do it

13:49 but they grew again because its FB, everybody are FB consumers all around the world. Its not the same for publishing video game. Plus not to mention there are a lot of video games taht look similar to each other, people find it boring.

3 years looking but it's rough

Nomad Sculpt. It's coming to desktop for peanut price and once it spreads its legs, it really should spell BIG trouble for Zbrush. Pros in the 3D field are still largely oblivious to just how great piece of software Nomad really is

Very very confusing Removing this from my library.

Please share a video for baking

thank you so much sir for this knowledge

5 of your closet friends define your future. Thank you Mr. Roshani.. I relate to this alot and you're right to say surround yourself with people who think alike with you and higher than you in a similar perspective. I enjoy listening to all this advice especially from an artist like you. You inspired you a lot sir. May GOD bless you to give more advice to young souls like me🙏

thanks

You know...

Let's go back to traditional and not online❤

Great video! Thanks for making it and sharing!

This is a good video for baking. Can you make a video or tell us how to combine the texture map,,? Cause with this method we will have multiple normal map, roughness map etc. I want to take the textures to unreal 5

Design skills are very important as it’s something that not only will give you tools that will help you have content made by you. Meaning it won’t be sieved anywhere else. Also will give you the eye for detail and will increase your art skills as a whole.

I hope I meet the criteria’s that you speak of. I really want to be character artist so bad to the point that I’m willing to spend whole days on developing the skill. But you are absolutely right about communication and ego. I think the reason why that comes is because the job is hard. I’ll do my best to become a great character artist. But I know for certain that I have to study lots of anatomy of faces, bodies, animals. The first step is anatomy for me then sculpting in ZBrush better (a whole lot of better and doing thousands of sculpts and characters) then learning the anatomy of clothing and building clothes. I think it’s also important to have fun along the journey. The process is different for everyone.

Great video! quite an optimistic conclusion about AI too

"if you listen to others you'll achieve their dreams not your dreams" - it stood out to me when you said this.

Hi Siamak, does the resolution of the monitor we use for sculpting matter(I am using pen tablet. Wacom intous pro Small)? And what is the model of the monitor you are using? Thank you!

I agree, AI and the human brain both reference others to create something. But the difference is that humans need to make a living to survive in a capitalistic society. AI doesn't. It's effectively putting 80% of those referenced artists out of work and on the streets. The artists are involuntarily PARTICIPATING in their own downfall. Its fucked The worst thing about all of this is how exciting the development around AI and technology in general actually is. It could've been so amazing. But like this its just sucking all of the joy out of everything. And I don't even blame AI, I blame the humans who don't care about creating a world where everyone actually has a chance of becoming happy and secure.

Really interesting conversation about our industry and the future of it, thank you for sharing

in AAA games character clothes have thickness or one side. please answer 🙏

Thanks for all the organized information you provided.

Thanks Siamak for this complete and really helpful information.

Where is the bearded guy

It would be great, of course, to have savings for a couple of years, but working as a character artist in Europe I have a net income of 2000 euros/month, while spending 1000+ per month just on renting an apartment. So making big savings in this situation doesn't seem realistic :(

Can't go without talking about te lighting and cinematic look, really well done!

looking for a job past 12 months. Can't say, just with 2 years game industry experience i found myself in tough situation - especially that I live in europe, where most of studios are in UK and they are forced by their government to fire British citizens first (outside of UK need to have guarantee X amount per year and companies just don't have that kind of money). it is hard. Thanks for share your research and point of view.

Microsoft you make me sick… next system you make. I’m not buying. Lay off the little people with families… just so you can remain billionaires. It’s F’ing Disgusting

What I hope for is that may these layoffs give rise to a new wave of indie devs who actually care about games rather than how critiques and investors rate them based on how much they can pander. Hopefully that should reset the cycle. I still remember the story of blizzard, bunch of passionate college bros making a game.

For someone who has a real time portfolio, excited to work in games, create amazing characters. This just feels so sad man. I am still being an optimist and hoping things will get better. Good luck everyone out there!!
