Interview with the Lead FX Artist, Niel V, of Splash Damage.

I think the most interesting part of the interview is this question "Do you have any tips for people wanting to break in?"

Some solid information and advice about simulations and FX artists.

Nothing majorly important but still helpful for anyone wanting to be an FX artist.

EDIT: Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, because there are like 30 inspirational threads floating around. This forum is full of inspiration...

VERY useful PDFs from valve on texturing and character design stuff, well worth a read through for everyone, some core notes on design that get overlooked a lot.

Useful for all design and modelling so don't be put off by the character focus

Good find Adam - I don't agree with all the theories there, but the majority of it is useful, and it's a good guide for artists to get their work to fit the style of the game.
