“The all in one Doubt Buster” for all the freshers seeking a career in 3D Animation and Game Design

Filed Under Tutorials/Tips, CGQ Job Board, Studio Guidelines | Leave a Comment

Should you go to college and get a degree? Whether or not you should go to college is not the question. Once you graduate, no-one cares anymore. They don’t need to hear about your education and how well you did in school. It’s no longer “What’s your major?” that you’ll get asked everyday, but “What do you do for a living?”

To be completely honest, this industry is not skilled enough to concern itself with education as much as doctors or lawyers, or even business people. Yes, there are computer programming geniuses with advanced degrees from Ivy League schools working in our industry, and they are a valuable component to what we do, but they are the minority. Many more of us are regular people, who have found something we enjoy, have some natural talent, and have worked really hard to be good at something we are passionate about.

100 ways to get your demoreel rejected. A must read.

Filed Under Demo/Show Reels, CGQ Job Board, Studio Guidelines | 1 Comment

I just threw away 147 demo reels. Why? Let’s be honest here. Because they sucked. I’m not saying this to be mean. It’s the truth. And I also don’t particularly like spending hours looking at demo reels that suck. I’d much rather look at good ones. Years ago, like four or five, demo reels used to be generally decent looking. They weren’t all gems by any means, but you had a pretty good spread of good ones, bad ones, in-between ones, and a few that kicked ass. In the last couple of years that ratio has been completely whacked out of all proportion. Out of 154 demo reels I tossed 147. Seven (7) were worth keeping. That’s about 5% or so.

How to Get a Job at Blizzard Entertainment

Filed Under CGQ Job Board, Studio Guidelines | 25 Comments

Let’s face it: it isn’t easy getting noticed amongst the hundreds of resumes that deluge our offices each year. It takes an exceptional resume, from an exceptionally talented individual, to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, we suspect many talented people are not getting the attention they deserve because of some simple mistakes in their resumes or a lack of understanding of what we are looking for in a game programmer, artist, musician, or other development position.

Blizzard Studio : Tips for a Game Artist Resume Submission

Filed Under CGQ Job Board, Studio Guidelines | Leave a Comment

Game art is the meat and potatoes of our products. These are the characters and environments that give life to the gameplay and suspend a player’s disbelief to a point somewhere in the realm of fantasy. Today, a good game artist needs to be both a conceptualist and a 3D animator.
