It's your big chance, buddy. Go for it.

the concept artist position, would that be contract or inhouse? it doesn't say in the ad. i'd imagine inhouse though, right?

long worked for weta remotely though if i remember correctly, for 50k a year or so. or still does, i have no idea.

don't think i have a shot but i'll probably try anyway, even if just so they look at my portfolio and think 'meh, maybe next year buddy'.

Fucking hoods
WHY DOES A ROBOT NEED A HOOD?
Hood are not cool, or they used to be until they became fedora level cancer.

hood = fedora

heavy and unbalanced on top because of extra arms, small feet. it will fall over.
the "knee" is too low.
there is a hole between the torso and legs.

How about improve on that and apply for the job?
Or are you guys just shit and scared?

it's a robot though, so you have fuckall idea about how the weight is distributed. you have shamed mechanical engineering with your overbearing assumptions.

you never know how technology will evolve, don't compare to today standards, I really hope you are not a student in robotics, because the ones like you are too stuck in "oh, that's impossible"

That is completely worthless and irrelevant from an entertainment design standpoint.
Color me mad, I think you should fuck off to some non art related place because you don't know the first shit about art.

dude, proper engineering knowledge is always valuable. just like it's good to ask an architect when you're designing buildings. if you're referencing reality it pays to be real. don't be mad just because you couldn't get into a proper stem course.

Do you have any resources or recommended stuff for some mechanical design (in the superficial sense, 'cause art)? I've been just using things like vehicles, model kits, Armored Core art books, etc.

Hands? Why aside from impracticable reasons?

[Anonymous No.2018443]

>>2018435
yes they are, we build toys robots with hands atm because they don't need to be functional, just fun. irl robots wouldn't have hands because it doesn't suit a single drive, there are much more elegant solutions, so it'd be silly for robots to have hands, even in the circumstance where they may be required to use tools designed for humans.

try find a robot doing an actual job irl that has an awkward little fragile human hand on those super powerful arms.

I vote for hands on androids, they are great for doing things, it's an all purpose tool.

If I was designing Mech I would never give them handguns or capes, it's mount almost everything on the chasis but I would stull give them manipulator just so they have it, maybe they could build with it or do stuff or punch for badassery.

Mechs are essentially tanks with legs

[Anonymous No.2018447]

Why are you guys arguing with a mechanical engineering student? He might be a first year, C-grade student for all I care. Not even a full fledged , working engineer.

The robot might have an advanced internal gyroscope for all I care.

Eh, not a good enough reason. It's impracticable but not overly so to the point that it's ridiculous or anything. It can work assuming you aren't going for full realism or anything.

[Anonymous No.2018452]

>>2018446
There are two kinds of mechs: weeaboo and western, weeobu muchs use hands for glowing katanas, also they suck so fuck them.

Western mechs don wield weapons in hands but their hands may serve any purpose.
Atlas can open up a fallen enemy mech and use his hands to scavenge it's intestines.
Also Atlas can build a camp for soldiers in no time, or it can do any heavy duty work.

Also Atlas can fucking punch the shit outta almost anything, (this probably breaks his arms)

Ok, tell me

What's the difference between a Concept Artist and a Visual Development Artist?

[Anonymous No.2018704]

>>2018679
The two are used interchangeably from what I've seen. There may be a subtle difference (concept artist is used more for things like character or vehicle design, vis-dev I hear more for like lighting and mood design?), but if you say one or the other people will know what you mean.

[Anonymous No.2018719]

>>2018679

like anon says they roughly mean the same thing. concept artist is used mostly in games though, whereas in animation the term visdev artist is more common.

the only term i feel is a little different is concept designer. this one sort of implies that there is a tremendous amount of experience and thought behind every decision you make. if you are a rookie or have mid level work, calling yourself concept designer is going to come across as incredibly pretentious.
