Subject: Broken In - Vic DeLeon

I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

Vic is the one Bungie employee I've ever played with. Pretty stand up guy too. Even partied up with us for a few more games afterward.

Go Vic go!!!!!!!!! But seriously, can you remove the Flood from the next Halo game ;)

I had a question about this line............ You SHOULD do a lot of work in ONE specialty - pick one aspect. If you want to be a 3D artist, decide if you want to do characters, environments, or hard-surface versus organic as your primary goal...............

Would this rule apply for animation? I want to be an animator in the videogame field. So should I just work on ONE type of animation?

Well, This image was created by a RL Friend of mine (The screenshot of the Elite) for the image search "Definition" or look at Darkrelica189's File Share here. "This one here" Its an alright picture IMO, but good pic for the Article on it.

Great Article! Environmental Artist sounds like a great job to do. Get to explore places IRL and copy them into a game!. very well done! but with Cortana and Halo, its all Imagination!

Great Job and can't wait to read some more!

Wow. You are honestly one of my many heros. Many quotes and so inspiration. (Not that I didn't already have enough. xD)

But you brought up something that stumped me. When you reminded us to do all you can in one subject. That got me thinking. I live (typo? Maybe not) lighting and texturing. In fact, I've learned more about that in Autodesk Maya than my teacher knew. :) So that's what I want to be my future. I told him that. And for our Class presentation (for our schools art show) I was quoted. "Texturing is fun. In some cases, it's putting the grass on the ground and the clouds in the sky". Thought of that off the top of my head. Got applauded for it too. :D

But anyway! Back to what I was trying to say. If I want to do lighting and texturing, should I just learn all I can about UV Mapping, Photoshop, how light works, all the attributes, etc? Or should I center my knowledge around environment, characters or other things?


Please answer this. :)


Yes you can specialize! However, when you are focusing on lighting make certain you have some other braod, marketable skills- like modeling and texturing- so you can get your foot in the door in a much more common production position. Lighting is one of those specialties that can often be handled by the Art Director or in some studios (like ours) by an Environment Artist that has specialized in lighting and has been crowned the king (referring to Justin Hayward of course). Thats really the best way to do it, get in and then prove yourself.

So yeah, you can specialize in lighting but make sure you know the other stuff too :)

Hope this helps.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Excellent interview. After all the Sea Monkey references, I think I will get some for my chitlins at home.
