Hello people!
I just finished a new 3D artwork in Unreal Engine 5. It's heavily inspired by the artstyle of the latest "Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom". I deeply enjoyed creating this piece and hope it'll give you some positive vibes!

Re: Foundry announces strategic decision to wind down development of Modo
The writing was on the wall ever since they got sold and bought so often by stock market holding groups.The Death Nail in my view was the public announcement(must be around 1st quarter of 2018 or so) from the owners HG Capital in regards of what products are and aren´t profitable, going so far to single out Modo as not "being in line with their investment plan".
If you use NUKE, you are fine, any other product? good luck and EOL for that.
Back in June this year, Foundry staff did video calls with companies and Indies/individuals which they know are longtime customers and tried to up-sell them Modo. They didn´t gave it a thought on moving back to perpetual licenses and my wallet closed while we where in the talk.
It also didn´t help their companies reputation that their service staff was atrocious in 2024. Customers who are active in the official forum and also affected reported the bad treatment.
As an example; We signed papers, they voided the old license, sent me a temporary license and then silence.
I went a week or so without being able to use my purchased and paid software since the assigned staff to my ticket went into holidays and didn´t forward their open tickets to others. All that among other things devalued their products worthiness.

I will also consider dropping Mari soon. They so far fail(ed) to address to implement important filetype support which is needed in my software combination.
User perception is important and Foundry and their various changing owners fumbled it in many aspects.
EDIT;
There is an End of life extended license available, valid 10 years from Nov 7, 2024 for any version of Modo up to Modo 17.1.
This can be downloaded and activated anytime up until 31st October 2025

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Hi everybody!!
Long time lurker, first time participating.
Decided for this concept mainly because I want to become better in hard surface modeling, plus a little environment practice doesn't hurt.
Goals behind this challenge:
- finish the challenge
- learn more of Unreal Engine 5
- become better in hard surface modeling
- become better in environment art
- learn new tips and tricks

Re: Mercedes CLS 2018
@sacboi thanks for the comment and the link,it was a usefull read.You're right about the topology,I wanted to make the low poly straight from the start then I realized it doesn't have a tri limit so I went a bit loose,at that point I was too far to redo it again.
Started working on separate the parts and applying the smooth modifier.:

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Hey everyone, nice to meet you all! First post on the forum here. I’ve been wanting to dive into one of these challenges for a while now. I wanted to make a sci-fi environment piece for my portfolio, so this month's hard surface environment theme, "Work and Live There" by Marius Villard, was a perfect fit. Concept gave me low-key Deus ex vibes, which drew me in even more.
I've started with a blockout in blender, then imported them to Unreal Engine 5 to set up the scale and proportions, and I’ll be making a few minor tweaks to get everything just right. Next, I’m planning a second pass to add more detail to the meshes. The goal is to finish the environment by the end of the challenge.

Re: Sketchbook: Tiff
3D Prop (concept by Caroline Choi) Leaned heavy into stylization for this, I made a post processing outline material in Unreal to really push the look even more 
The right lighting really helped it A LOT, it was definitely one of those projects I was iffy about up until I played around with it in engine

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Hello, everyone! First time to be here. Nice to meet you, guys.
I am Leo, an Environment Artist from Shanghai. I decide to join in STYLIZED ENVIRONMENT part of this challenge and I want to recreate the concept: corner50% by ZC WANG https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aoQnqL. I can't resist the cuteness and beautiful color from the concept.
I have made a blockout in UE5. I will do lowpoly modeling next. In this project, I want to practice handpainting as much as possible. The car modeling will be a big challenge for me. So, finger crossed!

So, slurs based on/assuming/making fun of someone's sentimental or sex life are cool again now ?

Re: Mercedes CLS 2018
Topology is slightly dense for my liking but then again no rule of thumb applies, basically whatever works for class A surfacing your mesh.
Only crit, is the rear lower quarter panel there's noticeable minor distortion I'd add a reflective car paint material too check for possible shading issues.
