body language

tips when entering a interview:

1. when going for a interview make sure that you turn up at least thirty minutes before hand, this is to show the interviewer that you are punctual.
2. dress for the occasion, turn up for the interview smart, do not turn up to the interview wearing some clothes you have been wearing all week and haven't washed.  
3. speak calmly and clearly 
4. sit up straight facing the interviewer (don't slouch or appear lazy) 
5. do not lie to the interviewer (don't appear like your miss leading him or her)
6.  show confidence (don't appear narcissistic) 
7. do your research so you don't get put of the spot 
8. don't fig-it keep your hands still or use them to express what your trying to explain.

during this class we simulated a interview using these techniques, i expressed my love for the fantasy genre as it gives the modeler allot of freedom when it comes creation, when you are making realistic models you have to follow a set blue print.

questions you may be asked by a interviewer

1. where do you see your self in five years time. 
2. why do you think your qualified for this placement 
3. tell us some of your past experiences you have had in the industry 
4. what attracted you to this job 
5. what do you think of are house style 

research and conclusion

Section 1 you and the sector:

Specialism: 3D modeller

Experience in this field:

I have gone down to St Austell college and taught a further education class in some of the basics of 3D modelling using Autodesk Maya, in these lessons I take the students though step by step how to create small assets with a sense of realism.

i have reopened my online tutorial channel and take requests from students about what they want me to do a tutorial on (within 3D or UDK), I take peer sections when I am asked for one to one help or small class teaching is needed , these sections are open to every member of the college.

What kind of work experience would benefit me?

the kind of experience that would benefit me would be work experience in making models professionally in a games company or a 3D studio, the reason for this is I want to learn the profession layout for organising 3d files and there textures, I would also like to learn how to make neater geometry to improve the look of my models.  

Section 2: research

I have found out through research that allot of 3D modellers and animators are hired on a project by project basis, the exception to this is the small group of modellers and animators that work as a in house team, because of the fact that I'm a modeller, animator I will be looking for originations that hire modellers and animators on behalf of games companies.

 Though researching different companies I found a site called OPM Response Ltd who hire specialist such as 3D modellers, concept artists, animators and many more, game companies submit a build list to this company for the artists to product for them so this kind of organisation could be called a sub-contractor.

The second alternative is to try and get employed into ether a triple A games company or indie developer as a in house team, this will be much more difficult as these kind of companies look for an individual style and allot of experience, because of this fact I think I will try work as a free-lance 3D artist so that I can gain invaluable experience in the world of work.

One of the sites I looked at in this department was (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas) even though there are jobs available there are only two in 3D modelling and for these two jobs you require a deep knowledge of human anatomy and have a minimum of two years in the industry.

The third option is freelance where I would be putting my portfolio online for potential clients to see, once I get a client I would have to make a contract so that I know the time frame, how much I’m getting paid and what my product is being used for, it is very important to make a contract with the client because if you don’t you have no evidence that you created the product for them and there for they might try and not pay you the full agreed price, the risk of being a freelancer is high if you are not yet well known because work could be slow at first however being freelance allows you to work in your own time and create models for many different clients rather being locked down to just one.

The final option is making my own company, this would force me to take up a manager role as well as being a 3D modeller, some of the main problems with this choice are hiring staff as once you have people working for you rules have to be put in place and enforced. (Health and safety, anti-bullying systems in place, deadlines, contracts)

 I am planning to start a company with some of the members of the class during the summer, the reason we have decided to do this is to get feedback for are work and learn from first-hand experience  how hard working in a company really is.

If I am not able to enter any of these sections with a relative degree of success I can always become a teacher of 3D and animation after getting a basic teaching award such as ptlls. (http://www.brightassessing.com/courses/ptlls/  ) another piece of documentation I will need to go down this route is CRB check, I will need this to prove to academic institutions that I have not committed any violent crimes.

Section3: conclusion

In conclusion I think I will aim to work ether for my own company producing assets for clients ether in the games of films industry while at the same time teaching a few classes a week in 3D modelling for games and film, the way I will make this possible is to plan my modelling around my teaching and using what time I have free to improve my own skills in the 3D arts.

Dear Mrs Ramshaw
Experienced Environment Modeller
I am writing to you in response to a job advertisement posted on Gamesindustry International for the job of Experienced Environment Modeller (26/02/2013), enclosed with this covering letter is my CV which I’ve made sure meets all requirements stated in your advertisement.

I first encountered OPM and your creative opportunities while looking for a job in 3D modelling for games or architecture and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of contracts you offer plus the range of different sections within modelling and animation such as rigging and character design, the reason I have been attracted to this role in particular is because of my experience producing environments to a high standard in both working for Criterion Games, Polyphony Digital and my own company poly.inc, also your phrase “give your prospects a power up” shows me that your company has a strong dedication to hiring artists with a strong passion for their field of expertise.

Working for my own company has given me a great sense of time keeping and punctuality due to the array of deadlines, even though I’ve had allot of hands on experience in the modelling/animating industries my base skills and disciplines I learned in college and university still play a strong part when it comes to the professionalism of my work such as when I’m putting game file packages together I make sure they are all clearly named so that the buyer doesn’t have to look for any of the content, though being a teacher I’ve learned how to be patient and cool headed even if the task before me seems impossible. 
On my CV I have made sure that all the hard skill requirements have been met, I’ve been using Autodesk Maya at an advanced level for the last five years now however through working for two games companies and running my own asset business I have become familiar with a wide range of different software including 3DS Max, Blender and even Realflow5 to create realistic water effects. Also during this time I improved my skills in high to low poly modelling which I am happy to send examples of to prove the level I am at.

Your advertisement states that someone applying for this position must have artistic skill and be able to use programmes such as Photoshop to create textures, while running the company I had to design all of the products that the company sold to online clients and because of this I learned many artist styles and techniques firstly to design the products themselves and secondly to create the textures that gives the models there realism, in some cases due to low poly restrictions I had to create textures and normal maps that gave the models more of a detailed look than they actually had and other times the level of detail demanded by the client made the models UV Maps very complex and difficult to unwrap giving me a knack for puzzle solving.

I hope that you will take my CV and skill set into consideration when selecting for this placement.

Yours sincerely 

Christopher David Rose

what i need to improve on and why

one of my greatest draw backs is writing, because of this i have problems producing long pieces of writing such as essays or long blog entries.
to over come this problem over the Easter holidays i will research more into the game industries allot more and boost my contextual studies as ill have more time to read up on theories with out having to worry about deadlines.

another one of my draw backs is timing however over the last week ive been setting my self deadlines so that i know what i have to produce and by when, i intend to keep this habit though out the second year so that i don't fall behind.

researching the sector

Researching the sector: how to become an informed applicant

Why research:

The games industry is a very competitive industry where allot of skilled people are aiming for the same position. The reason you need to research is to find a relevant job that you want or in the short term find a work placement.

What do you need to know?

·         How the games industry/ related industry’s look like (there company models)

·         What kind of organisation structure are there

·         What jobs and where

·         What jobs are you interested in

·         What are the requirements of these roles

·         How am I going to find all this out

(Magazines, xplay, networking) websites: dawn.com           games industry.biz         

Research:

Industry structure:

structures of companies

Structures with in the games industry:

The matrix structure is usually used by the games industry; this structure has many different departments all equal to each other and working on the same product, each department has a manager and above them is the manager of the company or section of the company.

Hierarchal:

In this structure each department is above another depending how important they are to the games design progress, at the top of this chain will be a board or managers or directors and above them the head of the company.

Independent:

The structure of this type of company is more of a tight nit group rather than a structure of authority, however there will be someone who is ether the team leader or manager of the current project.

What kind of companies are there within the games design industry:

Indie:  this kind of company are independent and generally without publishers financial support, companies consisting of one person or a group of people on short term projects are considered as indie developers, because of their small size the structure of the company is more close nit rather than the hierarchal style of the larger companies (example :team meat)

Corporate: also referred to as triple A games developers these companies take on both a hierarchal and matrix structure, the matrix side of the structure refers to the different departments working together to achieve the goal however as a large company a hierarchal chain of command is put in place to make sure the sectors of the company meet their deadlines.

Types of job I’m interested in:

The kind of job I’m looking for in the industry is 3D modeller and animator.

Types of jobs available:

Game Artist / Lead Environment Artist

I found this job on technojobs.co.uk

To be considered, you must have:

- At least five years' experience of developing games

- At least two years' experience as a senior technical artist

- A familiarity with a variety of rendering engines, such as CryEngine 3, Unreal Engine 3 and Unity 3D

- Expertise in a variety of industry standard software packages such as, Zbrush, 3DS Max, Maya and Photoshop

- A strong understanding of game pipelines, from initial design through to successful implementation

At the moment this job is far out of my league however I will work hard to one day get a similar job to this, I will achieve this by continuing to work on my 3D skills and try get my work out the one the internet. 

skill gap lecture notes

skills/ experience/ knollage

• teaching 
• presentation 
• developing skills in 3d software
• programming 
• management
•  organisational skills
• punctuality
• translating skills into other areas 
•  written skills 
• marketing 

in this session we learned about different skills that we will need to get into the industry, after writing down a selection of skills and experiences we wish to improve on we then had to draw out how these goals would be accomplished.

for example i want to increase my level of teaching 3d software so that i understand the programs them self better by passing on basic knollage and in process discovering new things, i will achieve this goal by teaching lower education classes down in Cornwall, i have already started this process and arranged to teach some classes with my ex 3D tutor.

work experiences 

over the last two years i have taken up a job teaching 3D modelling in  foundation education, during this time i have expanded my knollage of 3d software( maya, max and zbrush) i have done this by passing on what i have learned on to my students and in doing so refreshing it in my mind.
when i am not teaching i make 3d models for sale as base mesh however i prefer taking on projects for individual clients as it gives me an idea for the models specifications.

reference

name: Tony Hyom

what they are to me: ex modelling and animating tutor 

going back to first lesson (rules)

making a cups of tea:
you would think the easy task of making a cup of tea would be easy to list instructions for however during this class we found out other wise.

1. turn on kettle
2. get cup
3. get teabag
4. put water in kettle
5. boil kettle
6. put teabag in cup
7. pour hot water from kettle into cup 
8. add milk 

this seems like a pretty solid list  however after reviewing the list it becomes clear that there is allot missing for example turning the tap on, opening cupboards and measurements  the same rules can be applied to videos games as if the player does not know the basic rules of the game he or she will not be able to complete any of the challenges.

adding to my game ideas

i have decided that im going to base the layout of my level on a maze format with a old haunted cellar type style with touches of creepy fantasy to make the environment more horrifying.
the reason i have chosen a maze as a base is because mazes on there own by nature are confusing and claustrophobic, added to this low lighting, disturbing sound effects and false scares which will play with the players mind as he/ she makes there way throw the maze.

story:
you play as Ashley (double gendered name)  Eracs (scare backwards) a newly hired assistant at a soon to be opening Victorian hotel, after a long day unpacking all of the hotels assets such as plates and furniture you head up to bed to get a well deserved rest completely unaware of the horrors that are going to befall you this night.
in the middle of the night you awake after hearing strange chain like noises coming from down stairs, after getting dress and heading down to the first floor you discover that the chain like scraping sounds are coming from the cellar which is off limits however your curiosity is to strong to ignore and so you descend into the dark depths of the cellar.
while walking around the cellar your torch dies leaving you lost and confused now your only goal is to get out before you find out what was making the chain like noises.

game level first idea

Original game idea:

Genre:  physiological

First concept:

Your looking through the eyes of a lone protagonist you are in a place you don’t recognises, its dark, wet and full of creepy unsettling sounds, the only thing you know is that you have to get out and fast as you have the feeling you won’t be able to keep your head together in these conditions.

The first ideas for the level:

(Possible environments)   

Sewer: the reasons a sewer level would be appropriate for this style of gameplay is the tight claustrophobic environment, the way sound echos around the pipes, the fact that you are stuck underground, the rotten conditions.

Basement:  the reason a basement would be good for this kind of game is the dark damp conditions, also being a basement there are allot of old objects laying around behind which monsters in the dark could hide.

A abandoned hospital:  hospitals at night are scary places due to all of the medical equipment which induce scenes of torture on the mind, the reason ive chosen abandoned is there should be no one around but the character will hear people.

skills

during my time training to be a 3d modeller I’ve become good working in a group with other but I can also work on my own to get the work done and to a high standard, however the main skill that I have learned is to keep trying until I have complete the task I have been set or I have set myself just for the challenge.

interests

being a modeller my main interests is 3d modelling and trying out the newest video games to check out the graphics and game play, my other hobbies include martial arts which I have worked hard to gain my black belt in taekwondo-do and my red stripe in kickboxing.
