Heyo!

Hello everyone!

 

I'm glad to be apart of this community finally after so many years of lurking. I'm a Game Art & Design student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and I'm really looking to get my hands dirty in modding. I'm due to graduate on June 18th with my BS and I really need to work up a portfolio. My dream job would be to go work for Bethesda Game Studios in Rockville MD because they make my favorite games of all time and they're relatively close to wear I live now. Ever since I took my first steps off the boat in Morrowind I've been hooked and playing their games for years. Skyrim looks incredible!!! I will most likely "fall off the grid" when it comes out, at least for a little while. :)

 

I just recently started watching interviews from Todd Howard, the lead designer/producer of Morrowind, Oblivion, and now Skyrim detailing ways to break into the industry. Creating mods and knowing Bethesda's tools inside and out would be a great thing to add to my resume. That said I've never created a mod before and just recently started working through the offical wiki not too long ago. I hope to start small like moding a piece of equipment with a custom model/texture of my own. If anyone has any particular advice or tutorials they'd like to share that would be much appreciated!

 

Also I'm always very open to working along side a project thats already started as well. I have years of experience in 3DS Max, Zbrush, Photoshop, Topogun, Blender(well with the new 2.56 beta release they've changed everything around so maybe not!), etc. So if anyone needs some help creating 3D models for a mod please ask away and I'll do my best to help out.

 

Please check out my portfolio/blog site to see my workflow and previous work. www.gosmallorgohome.net I don't have anything too terribly impressive in my portfolio yet but hey thats why I'm here! I'd say the model that best reflects my current skillset is Zimiri.

 

Sorry for being a little long winded! Happy modding!

All I can say if that you already know more than I do, much more, so you'll do great around here. Check out the Oblivion subforum, more exacly the requests section. Mayby you can get your hands dirty by working on some of the requests, that...if you're out of ideas. If you have ideas of your own, well that's also great. Even at this point, mods are still released every single day. This community sure could use another pair of working hands, so you're welcomed. So, welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay and c'ya around I guess.

 

 

Cheers,

Pushkatu!:thumbsup:

Man you guys are quick! I'm glad to see this forum still so active, thats definitely promising.

 

@Pushtaku

Thanks for the suggestions I will certainly do that. As me knowing more than you, don't give me too much credit yet. Even though I'm due to graduate I still feel like a 4 year old lost at the mall. Its very overwhelming and competitive field. I just hope I can create something interesting on here.

Thanks!

I also had a dream to become a 3D artist at Ubisoft.
