I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!

Jeez - I'm looking for work in my town Hamburg, Germany. If you ever look for work in games, don't come here. Last year Bigpoint released some 200 developers and they are still swarming around here. It's virtually impossible to even get as much as an internship.  

After 3 years of studying and looking back on all the things I can do (write, paint, model/texture) that is quite a setback. So what to do?
The only thing I know to do is to apply worldwide now. I hope to find a position, where I can learn writing for games or work as a consultant to the writers. Since I worked as storyliner before, I might be able to help. However, if I find work in a bigger studio it will probably be so specialized, I won't have much time to think about other things. 

I wonder what the work situation is like out there for "ordinary" people. I have gone to college and took some extra courses. I got degrees in English and Spanish Language, wrote and co-wrote several books and screenplays AND I learned 3D and most everything involved. You'd think that would score me a job, right? Polly want a cracker?

Hey Sin, :)

Hope you are well!

Thanks for reply sorry for delay, been playing resident evil 4 on PC, hard game to get used to on pc!
No worries mate about killing floor, I’m just glad we had a lot of fun times in Killing floor. It seems all of the players that played killing floor when it was released last year have just disappeared but I’m still around teaching the newbies to try and keep them alive.

Anyway what is this Armed Assault like to play? And where can I get the game from so I could have a go?

Hi Sinking m8

I agree, the RPG system for KF takes all of the tactics and team spirit out of killing floor, but I still play mate, instead of using the RPG servers I play on the German server -ill-GEISTERBAHN server, which is set to ELITE against the specimens, really hard when gets past waves 7.

Anyway I’ve missed playing by your side mate in killing floor, you are a good co-op zombie killer, Especially with a hunting shotgun/shotgun in your armoury. If you ever decide to play KF again I will be on -ill-GEISTERBAHN server playing and killing what I can.

See you in game on this server if you decide to replay KF again.

RPDUmbrellaSTARS out!!

I have played killing floor and it is rarely fun, its plagued with extremely annoying bugs and its very bland.

Response to the comment you made on one of my models, I would agree that its easier to model a muscular type but it all really comes down to your low polygon modelling skills, things become a lot easier if you can make a really good low poly that when you divide it a few times in zbrush it looks good and only requires a minor ammount of tweaking. I'm self taught I can't link to tutorials I'm sorry, if you would like me to make a tutorial in a program, Silo and Zbrush are my two most used, lemme know what type you would like, and i'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the support

P.S. Sorry about the slow reply I've been really busy with this mod and school. Also scrounge up the money for zbrush Z3 comes out soon and you won't wanna miss it.

No problem, and if you find anything else that needs to be done, either let myself or one of the other staffies know about it and we'll do our best. Plus, I'm glad you feel that way about the site. I feel the same way. :)
