Donny's TOS Enterprise Interiors
- Thread starter Donny
- Start date
I'm about the same distance, up in San Francisco. <points out window at Pacific Ocean>
Best of luck to you and your new opportunities.
Very belated, but most sincere, congratulations!
Congrats Donny!
Just an update:
I've been at Cryptic for a week. All is going well; I'm slowly learning their graphics engine and software. Unfortunately, in many ways (until the engine is updated), I won't be able to create the level of quality that you see in my work here, nor will I have the time. Everything is much more time and memory-budget constrained. But it's a great paying job and will get me good experience for working in the industry.
This does mean, however, that there is a certain itch to come home to work on personal stuff (like my TOS and TWOK projects), so as soon as I'm more settled in, you should see me resume work on the stuff here.
Stay tuned.

Hey man, great to hear!
I work in VFX and know guys in the games industry. You'll probably move from company to company based on projects. Just be careful that you are paid and treated properly (this includes how they deal with overtime during crunch time with their employees).
Yep, everything is definately time and budget constrained. As well as what the client wants.
"He wants what? No really, he wants this to look like this? What the what?"
"But I can go home and do it in half the time and make it look 10 times better.."

Wasn't that a LASER pistol, though? 
Great work, Donny!
Great work, Donny!
Dude! How do you manage to get your renders to look like photographs of real objects? I don't think I've never seen anyone do that quite as effectively as what I've seen here.
PBR textures go a long way (Physically Based Rendering, if you aren't familiar), as does the renderer, Marmoset Toolbag 2, I use for props these days.
I like how the background reflects the tunic colors seen in The Cage and WNMHGB.
