I'm not an visually artistic person, but I have attended MANY seminars at this school to stay informed of all the developments in CGI, and I can say this is one of the BEST computer art schools in the world.
***** The thing about going to classes is that you get critiques. Getting proper critiques is the best way to grow. Personally, i think it's the ONLY way to become a true professional. Sure, you can learn the programs and know all the buttons, but my professor once told me, "if you always practice shit and no one tells you otherwise, it will be shit." lol
leviat "if you always practice shit and no one tells you otherwise, it will be shit". The most inspiring shit of this shitty world :') P.S: If I had money !! D'x
Yes, critiques are very necessary. I didn't say you needed classes to get this good. But you definitely need a trained eye to tell you what you're doing wrong so that you can learn from mistakes. That being said, you can get critiques anywhere, from blogs to art sites, not just classes.
Critiques are probably the most helpful aspect in developing your art career. But what if you are self-taught and don't really have access to a professional instructor to go over your work? There's always forums but, some artists who are not as experienced, tend to just bs some things on critiques and They could essentially be wrong to go about fixing your mistakes. For me personally, the best way, if you are going to self-critique for instance, is look at other professional artists' work from the industry. Compare your art to theirs as much as you can (not copy of course), and ask yourself when you do your own pieces, is it believable? does lighting look somewhat right? proportions? etc. The more you do that, it allows you to see your own mistakes, and what you need to do more to achieve that pro look. Of course you still need to learn fundamentals...prior to that.
Immense dedication, ultimate patience and vast amounts of talent. FU**ING AWESOME work guys. Nice to see Gnomon School still kicking it!! Blows my mind.
It's Gnomon School of Visual Effects. Private school; taught by working pros. It's in L.A. Mariana has been up there to see the making of UP. It's geared towards giving the skills to make it in the game, movie and FX industries.
They didn't make UP. But Gnomon will host (for free - to the public) "The Making of..." nights at their school; speakers are professionals from Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, etc. The lecturer[s] usually have worked on the movie and have deep knowledge of the subject matter they are discussing. They demonstrate cutting edge technology or innovative uses, and discuss what decisions went into making it. The conferences are usually free to the public; anyone can attend. You just need to RSVP on their site so they can count "UP" the numbers that will attend. :P

You're kidding right? This is all I ever wanted in my life but I was sent to an Architecture school instead for 4 miserable years. Things like this only makes me smile outside but f*cking depressed inside.
really, man this thought also comes in my mind after completing school just a year ago, and i start to draw chararcters by using online tutorials if drawing......as i want to be character artist :)
A lot. I'm going to go with Maya, ZBrush, UDK, Realflow, Krakatoa, Nuke, the Adobe programs like Ps and Ae, I'm sure C4D, Vray, 3DSMax, maybe Mudbox and Unity. Who knows maybe Houdini, Blender, and Lightwave as well. But if you're looking to get into this kind of stuff I would point you towards Maya or even Blender which is free but not nearly as powerful.
My only critic about this is that its all over the place. Its very nice - nothing solid in any particular area. Im not sure if i would see you in environments / characters / fx / animation / composting / Narrow the time down a lot and only show what your proud of. no one hiring is gonna want to see 9 minutes of work slowly getting worse and worse. Other wise great stuff keep it up
+Ack Master I'm not really sure thats what this is. This is a compilation of diffrent students work over the course of 2014. I think its more for profiling the school and just in general showing of what they teach and what their students are capable of, not one person making a 9 minute reel.
Be nice if someone would actually outline what you NEED to know or have in terms of knowledge to go here and be able to succeed. Not to mention trying to talk to an actual adviser doesn't go anywhere..
There are so many talented people in this world...
I'm not an visually artistic person, but I have attended MANY seminars at this school to stay informed of all the developments in CGI, and I can say this is one of the BEST computer art schools in the world.
If someone could fly me to America and give me enough money to study at Gnomon, that'd be great
Gnomon is an online school, but, indeed, the classes cost a lot.

I remember yours very first promo-videos with different kinds of works, tests, arts etc.
And now your student reel - it looks sooo great.
Immense dedication, ultimate patience and vast amounts of talent. FU**ING AWESOME work guys. Nice to see Gnomon School still kicking it!! Blows my mind.
I've seen some really great student work from Gnomon, but this year's student reel has got to be the most impressive collection so far.

Nice! ill look into that via google :D if they made something like UP its something worth looking into :D

You're kidding right? This is all I ever wanted in my life but I was sent to an Architecture school instead for 4 miserable years. Things like this only makes me smile outside but f*cking depressed inside.
hahahaha

woah amazing

anyone knows the name of the songs in this video?
The feels
Do I need to learn how to draw first or what? I really wanted to become a 3D environment artist and a concept artist.
Which one should I take first?
really, man this thought also comes in my mind after completing school just a year ago, and i start to draw chararcters by using online tutorials if drawing......as i want to be character artist :)
Wow!
Hey can any of you guys identify the song in the beginning? Thanks! I think it sounds like it might be from Dark Knight. Cant tell.
2:30 music name? PLS :(
Come on gnomon. Upload in at least 1080p! lol...
what software mainly used in this ?
A lot. I'm going to go with Maya, ZBrush, UDK, Realflow, Krakatoa, Nuke, the Adobe programs like Ps and Ae, I'm sure C4D, Vray, 3DSMax, maybe Mudbox and Unity. Who knows maybe Houdini, Blender, and Lightwave as well. But if you're looking to get into this kind of stuff I would point you towards Maya or even Blender which is free but not nearly as powerful.
Gnomon students use Maya (and sometimes 3ds Max), Zbrush, Mudbox, After Effects, UDK, Photoshop and Nuke.
Muito Top
The song from 6:00? Can't shazam it
