Epic just released their Unreal Engine 3 for free.

Yes. FREE. Commercial use too, you have to pay Epic 25% of the income after 5000$, but that's a small price to pay.

Just posting this one for the public, it needs to be known and it needs more people

Yes, It's done, from this point forward I'm gonna tap into the market of graphical design, literally graphics in apparels (T-shirt and such)

And if you think the pricing is too high for the quality, then please tell that to me and justify it somehow Just so you know, I get about 5 US dollars out of each of those, so I think it's fair.

More designs to come, I plan to unwind from all my 3D work with these

A music video about a race/battle including : mechs, racing style

So it's decided. I shall make that then

No promises though, if real life kicks in then I most likely will not have the time to do that by myself.

And the answer is...



No.

(EDITS BELOW)

The reason for this answer boggled my mind a bit. Apparently I can't texture like they want. So anyone wanting to get there, this is not what they want :

That is what I gave to them as a proof of what I can do, texturewise. To this they said "We want someone who can texture photorealistically. Someone who can transfer a photo (of a buildings wall in my case) and not make any adjustments at all to it and use that photo as a texture straight away" That is really what they said.

That sounds very much like a thing I like to call CopyPasta so you can imagine my face when I read that. All the things I know, all the time I have put into learning those, all for naught. I should have just learned to copy and paste images from the internet, into a buildings wall and I would have been pro, none of this painstaking drawn by hand stuff, with dozens of layers...

Seriously, what a load of crap. If that is how they make their stuff then I don't want to be near them... ever. That is not what I want to do.

EDIT:

Okay...

I actually asked about this from the AD of Bugbear, who was nice and explained this all to me.
First of all, I didn't follow the ref to the point, the windows are the biggest difference to the ref as I went and lost control over my artistic side so one big fail there (i just thought they looked better that way >___> )

Then about the copying and such, they do it. It's very simple, they take a photo and put it on the model, minor cutting and adjusting is needed usually, especially when there's only one side of the building photographed, but nothing like what I do, with tiled textures which I make unique by hand. It's all about saving time with dozens of assets.

Oh well, I just have to learn this way of doing things.

EDIT OF EDIT :

And for those who may wonder what they gave me as a ref pic to follow
