Seeing this kind of stuff as a 3D artist is super depressing. Especially when you look at artist's age and this apparently being his first personal project. A month after release - boom - artist at Nvidia, already won the game basically.
How to deal with this? I start doubting my career path and questioning am I really just an average replacable industry monkey in comparison?

How does it feel you will be replaced by early 30s men who have gained precious skillsets in different industries and have a financial cushion who have the same drive as they did starting out in their 1st career path?

>tfw when you realize it's all about the textures
I still struggle with albedo values personally, would love to hear some tips about it. One thing I've seen being mentioned is, it's easier to control the scene lighting if all assets colors have lower contrast as they blend better together. I'd also add that it seems to me that scenes with mostly white-ish assets somehow light nicer overall, which might also explain why I often feel like my scenes look nicer in detail lighting than in lit mode. The scene in the OP is mostly white as well. Don't know if I'm up to something here or not though...

Well, it's pretty unfair. While the visuals are nice, in the end it's not a particularly impressive or memorable work. You could expect a random 4chan anon to produce something like this in his spare time, yet never get a job offer or even a simple side gig from anyone, staying a hobbyist for the rest of his days.

It may sound like a cope, but the exposure he got definitely got him that job, he said it himself. After all, it happened to me as well (and a lot of other people I know), if I haven't managed to get to trending with my first scene on ArtStation and get an 80lv interview, I doubt any studio would approach me. Even today, my job offers increase only when I hit trending with some work.
So as much as some people like to say social media is bullshit and likes don't matter - I think they do. They actually matter a ton, getting enough likes at the right time can be a life changing thing. It sucks because you depend on an algorithm, and I think it's partially also a luck and connections - everything needs to work together so you get those early likes (with the help of your peers) that will snowball your project and then as long as the work is good enough and not too much other good stuff happen to published on that day (that would take away some of the attention), you're getting on top of the Artstation. And if some big guy sees it and wants to share it on the internet, you win. It isn't as simple as it may sound, but I find it to be the truth. So in a way, getting sad about "stupid internet points" might actually not be as retarded as some might say.
For example it's killing me a little that the better I get at this and the more praise I get from colleagues and people in the industry on my recent wips, when it is time to share my projects on Artstation, I still fail to reach top of the trending (2nd or 3rd row at best) and my first project which is objectively shitty in comparison to anything else I made - still has the biggest amount of views and likes - and that's because of an 80lv interview no doubt.
Of course, this is not the only way to succeed, some people are complete anonymous and only grind for themselves, then directly apply to a big studio and get a job with 0 following. But still, it's another option that can definitely work.

Don't you have to be a graphics programmer to be an NVIDIA employee? What, so I can just piece together some assets, tinker with the lighting and I'll get a job at NVIDIA as what exactly?

That scene is basic in terms of 3D modeling and the texturing is now all photoscanned/storebought anyway. The most impressive thing is the lighting which is now much easier to do in UE5. He was just one of the first to showcase the power of lumen and went viral because of it.
You don't need to go viral to land a decent job as long as your portfolio overall is decent.
I have like 20 pieces on my artstation with many of them being sub 100 views and I still landed a job at a well known AAA game studio as an environment artist.
As long as you know what you are doing is good it doesn't really matter how popular it ends up being on artstation. If popularity and views only mattered everybody would just be making coomer shit.

3d artist at nvidia, seen multiple people having that role. Not sure besides some tech demos like those marbles and some restaurant kitchen environment I saw recently. I assume it’s similar to quixel artists for example, they just create pretty photorealistic scenes with their evolving tech afaik.

Photorealism, pretty sure of that. Also makes sense because it’s the easiest to art direct and outsource + a lot of consumers like it. Also I’m more in the area of games, don’t know much about vfx studios.

Why do you think it got so much attention and millions of views then? I think it's the lighting, but Lumen makes it much easier to work with. Even if you see the breakdown, the lighting setup is super simple. It may have very well been just the fact it was one of the first pretty looking scenes in Lumen, like one guy said.
The texturing is nice as well, but these assets are relatively simple to texture, especially when he had so much ref, personal photos and 1:1 stencils made from the real thing. That would definitely make it much easier to work with as well.

Anime is so over done that 2D studios even told me at the job fair that if your portfolio contains anime they don't want to see it (it doesn't count as art basically).
If you emulate Van Gogh, or any real artist you're golden.
Avoid anime in your portfolio like the plague if you want a job

Thanks for reading, retard. Arstation gathers only the best of the best and is a very skewed indicator of the current talent inside studios. All it takes is a little bit of social engineering the HR roastie that you are "talented" but in reality you did the least amount of work possible to not get fired or extended. It's who you know best will get you that fat 6 figs, not your quality of your art.

Anon is right and wrong, there are many ways of building up a portfolio other than fucking linking social media like artstation to your employer, diversifying and doing anime/cartoon stuff alongside what Anon deems "art worthy" is not a problem, showing it to your western employer is, there are a few asian companies with listings for western 3d artists right now and those employers would for sure appreciate your weabo shit more than the avrg western models.
So it's all about that demo reel fellas, you gotta keep what's relevant in it and what's not out, a bad demo reel is a messy reel, with literally every single model and project you've done, those types of reel suck, stick to showing what is relevant to the job description and at best look up past projects of the company that is hiring you and adding things that are similar to it in there as a nudge and wink to what you can do outside of the responsibilities in the listing they got you in the first place

Having success on artstation like anon said here is more likely to be case for the artists social skills and networking rather than their art being great

I'm in the 10k hours fb group which which has every fucking professional in existence. There are no problems getting likes even if it were just a wip linking to your freshly made artstation. I have yet to post anything on the group but the quality there is top notch which makes it very intimidating to post. I can see why a few like the anonymity this board provides but it sort of backfires too in the long run.

Never make your albedo pure white as this breaks PBR but also be aware that the brighter the albedo is the more there are secondary bounces.
Albedo has a strong effect on global illumination.
Same applies to black, avoid values that are close to 0 or 1.

You are damn right anon, but Facebook is another completely different game where you can pretty much treat it like a better version of linked in, FB groups are technically deepweb depending on how the group is set up so the whole likes and exposure topic of the last reply works differently there.
If it's all 10k hrs people in there, exposure is not exactly what they are looking for, a good majority already got their networking on point for sure.
I did quit facebook ages ago so I have no idea how things are going nowadays, by the looks of your reply they really fixed things from the time I was there.
>>910187
I'm addressing mostly the people at the scrape of the barrel in my reply, which seems like to consist of what this board is filled with nowadays with the exception for the few OGs popping up here and there.

I can't stop comparing my artstation numbers with everyone like a complete retard, it reached a point where I was checking "Likes" page from some of my peers to see if they liked my shit I recently posted and got depressed when they liked everyone else's work but not mine. Calculating views / likes ratios and comparing that as well.
I'm sick of this and it became unhealthy for real. I get over it after a few days after posting on artstation, but every time I post a new work my mental health is in ruins.
I don't know what to do but I think I also need to get a life somehow, this is basically all I do with my life and I assume I have started associating my craft with my worth as a human being.

I agree. I think I'm happy with my progress and where I'm at atm. For some reason my recent works get much less likes than what I was getting as a noob. Maybe it was just luck, but it was definitely undeserving compared to what I'm capable of now. So that worries me a bit as well, especially since getting more likes and views also ultimately gets you more potential employers, even though I don't really search for new ones. It's also hard to build up following. I guess I wish the growing numbers somehow reflected that feeling of improvement. I think it can provide a decently objective view of one's skills because you never know, you might just be delusional and have completely skewed perspective of your skills, but if your work regularly gets noticed and appreciated you are probably on the right path.
>>910263
Yeah, but money is not a big issue thankfully for now, I'm pretty sure it's about needing a sense of belonging, purpose... Getting some message notifications for a change. Fuck I'm lonely when I think about it like that...

Dear god anon wtf are you doing man, you have fallen for the trap, these likes are meaningless most of the time, it's gamefication made to take advantage of our psyche it got you hookline and sinker.
You should only care about likes if it's an active part of your business strategy, like getting into first page of reddit or getting tons of twitter retweets and shit and converting that into patreon money or commissions.
Outside of that you should be caring less about likes and more about making your portfolio bulkier, making good demo reels and shit
If you really, really care about the stupid likes you should at least get them at the platforms where they actually matter first and link your artstation on those to get some likes on it, learn social media management, there's literally tons of ways to get likes depending on which platform you want to tackle, there are so many ways and strategies I can't even describe them all... It's all social media management.

This is the shit that impresses you zoomers? The reality is NONE of us will 'make it'. This guys UE5 asset showcase is nothing special. All static/hardsurface stuff is simple, you're just throwing more geometry/resolution at a renderer. Notice how all 'artists' suddenly improved once UE5 dropped, it's almost as if the tool had a mind of its own.
The real suffering is trying to get into realistic coomer 3D. You will find practically nothing on stuff like realistic softbody and skindentation, and you will spend months completely clueless as you struggle to even get your shitty Daz characters to stop looking so grey while a Jap creates a whole harem of qts from scratch. Imagine knowing the power to create your own waifu exists, but somebody else has it.

It’s definitely true that UE5 made everyone’s work 250% better. It’s a good thing and it will set up new visual standards for realtime graphics, but while people don’t get used to that, stuff from OP will look mindblowing.

it wont, because 1) it takes way too long to compile
2) people mostly play realtime games on their phones, without dedicated graphics cards, keyboards or controllers.

How is that possible? Everyone is going for realistic modeling, there's tons of it out there, and of course the professional industry has a heavy focus on photorealistic CGI. This does not seem like an area that would lack resources.

I seriously doubt that, and if that's what he's claiming, he's lying. It's like a programmer saying "my first project is going to be to make a game like The Elder Scrolls!" Just doesn't work.
