One on One with Nick Goals

GOALS:

-Want to work in entertainment industry

-Would prefer a more established studio that's medium sized

-Would feel comfortable to be in games or entertainment industry

-Would like to pursue career in prop artist but also has aspirations as a stylized character artist

EXTRA STUDIES:

-Try to gravitate to whether I want stylized or realism on prop modeling:

   After talking with Chris Roda, I discovered I have more interests when it comes to stylized and less so on the realism. I was able to figure it out by the type of games I enjoy playing: ex. Fortnite, Ratchet and Clank. Also Chris recommends to look into film first before games. 

-Go to Artstation to find top 10 artist that I respect that I want to emulate:

    Artists found so far:

-Eventually reach out to these artists (words of wisdom, advice, tutorials, etc./my story/networking)

-Do research on industrial design, how things are designed/items are created, functionality of props, ex. Funko pops how they are made

-Research materials and textures and understanding them better and understand from a manufacturing standpoint, type of materials, secularity, breakable, reflection, etc who made it

-Keep learning about Zbrush

-Work on hard surface modeling investigate how to make clean hard surface models

-Have a strong understanding of topology
