Re: Problem with viewport in 3ds max

maybe resizing your ref images to the same aspect ratio.

it's low tech, but it might work?

Hello, artists! How's your week? Hope all is well!

Everyone is doing excellent job here! I can't wait to see more and more.
As for me, I did some lowpoly modeling in Maya these days. I added some extra edge loop cuts on props to have a bit stylized look. The tris is under 1k for each prop. Pickup's tris is about 15k, crane is included. Then imported the meshes to UE5 and assembled them where they should be. I did lighting and post process setup for the first pass. It looks pretty well for me now.

ps: I am really happy I did pickup modeling, I was struggled a lot. But thanks god it looks decent now. I am so excited about the next steps.

Have a nice weekend, everybody!

Looks great! Scale and composition of the scene look correct to me.
I think in future you might like to spend longer on an initial blockout to match to the concept more closely. The truck is complicated, getting to grips with those shapes is going to take more than a few cubes.
Otherwise, good job on a pretty technically challenging model!

Hello! Thank you so much! I am so happy it came out correctly. Your highpoly helped me a lot. I have checked it so many times. You did great job on car modeling! I absolutely agree with you about blockout. I should've spend more time on that. My initial idea about the blockout was simply to get a basic understanding of camera position, scale of scene and the layout. And that is not enough for car modeling. Thanks for your feedback!

Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros

Arms seem to be in a pretty good place for now, still needs work though. Cuirass & leg armour next. Feels like I didn't get a lot done, but gauntlets can be time intensive.

Re: Kevin Johnstone has passed

Re-uploaded Kevin's art, in the context of his original posts so it doesn't get lost, and so we see his work in context of his excellent commentary.

Mind blown, so much knowledge shared, what a talent, and a great sense of humor to boot! Linked also in the wiki.

Enjoy, and pour one out

TAPACRON - the epic pixel chronicle

Hi folks! Let me share a project I've been working on all of last year:

Tapacron is an epic pixel art chronicle where everyone can participate. The project is ad-free and non-commercial, purely for art. The goal is to create a pixel art chronicle over decades, capturing popular events, persons and memes.

How it works:

🔹 The canvas grows by 1 pixel every day starting from January 1, 2024.
🔹 When someone colors a pixel, others see it in real-time.
🔹 If a pixel isn't recolored for over 30 days, it freezes and stays that way forever. Pixels not frozen are marked with dots.
🔹 To draw, zoom in on the canvas.
🔹 Drag the palette left and right for more colors.
🔹 Eyedropper tool: pick color by long-pressing the desired pixel on the canvas
🔹 No need to register; all pixels are anonymous.

Come on in, draw, and invite your friends: http://tapacron.com/

Re: Kevin Johnstone has passed

I just wanted to drop another R.I.P. and shout to Kevin AKA Rorshach.
Such a decent fella to chat with on #Model_Design or the google-hangouts. Always inspiring art.

I think we should set up an event where folks can texture his old SDK's. Maybe there could be some fundraising aspect to it as well, for his wife and family.

Looking for Honest Feedback on My Stylized Game Environment!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a stylized game environment inspired by League of Legends and Arcane, and I’d love to get some harsh, no-holds-barred feedback from the talented folks here. Whether it’s about modeling, texturing, lighting, or anything else, I’m open to all critiques—big or small.

Here are a few areas I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

Visual Consistency: Do the models (rocks, plants, trees) feel cohesive in terms of style, texture, and color palette?
Design Variety: Are the variations in rock shapes, plants, and trees interesting enough, or do you think more diversity is needed?
Lighting and Mood: Does the current lighting setup create the right atmosphere? Any tips on enhancing the mood?
Milestones and Planning: Based on what you see, does my current progress align with realistic goals, or would you suggest changes to the workflow?

I’m happy to discuss any feedback—no matter how tough it might be! Your insights are invaluable, and I’m excited to improve based on your suggestions.

Thanks a ton in advance for your time and thoughts!

Cheers,
Filipp
