Calling all Character Artists - Help needed!
Hello Polycount,
I am a university student from Derby in the UK, studying computer games modelling and animation. I am currently writing my dissertation and as a part of this I am conduction an investigation into the practices of character modellers. I am asking any willing participants for a few minutes of their time to answer a short online survey about their workflow as a 3D character artist. The results of this test will help me to collect some significant data about the work practices of professionals, student and enthusiasts within the 3D modelling community, and will contribute toward a greater understanding of the most common workflows within the character artists pipeline.
The survey is hosted on the well known and safe google docs service, and can be found at the following link:

Thank you in advance for your time and thank you for being a part of a study that will help me in getting my degree.
Regards,
Terry Baldock
(ps. a post to let me know you have done it/bump this would also be much appreciated

Do mine also..haha
You can´t do a retopo with Mudbox so you should leave it out in the retopo questions :P
but u should give tick box rather select anyone from options
@gaganjain - Yes, tick boxes did cross my mind for some on the process selections, however this gives more data to analyse than just asking what someone would select if they could only use one.
For example, I use 2 or more programs for my diffuse map, but if I could select only one, it would be photoshop. If i had tick boxes I'd have given 4 answers for that question, making the data a lot harder to analyse
seems I want to be able to do everything in ZBrush. I know its not the friendliest software and it can be very annoying. But so is a relationship sometimes.
If I could do everything in ZB I would. I'm sure in ZBrush8 or so. We might be close to getting that.
Amen to that! I feel at home in zbrush it seems, Its a harsh mistress at times, but its definitely the workhorse of my pipeline!
Thank you for filling this out everyone who has, and thanks for the feedback too, it really is appreciated
Nah, Its not a dupe, Its another student conducting a similar survey for his dissertation
6 and 7 are not the same, one is with regards to Aesthetic Quality, one is with regards to Speed. Unless you mean your answers were the same?
