Need tech partner

travelerinthyme

I am a 60 year old granny, with extensive background in fine art, teaching myself Blender, Zbrush, and PhotoPaint. After about 9 months, I'm actually awesome at sculpting and texturing (anatomy is my strong point, I want to focus on realistic animals, but love to draw fantasy figures and landscapes, too).

But....my technical vocabulary is minimal, so I'm totally stumped by tutorials on normal mapping, rigging, rendering, etc.

What I'd like to have is a partner, someone who loves to bake and rig and render, while I do the sculpting and painting.

Anyone want to join forces? I have at least 2 clients lined up already, but all I can send them are Zproject files or Blender models. Here is an example of my work. I'm also working on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, have the models all ready to go, but the Zbrush files are humongous.

No offense, but those image don't make you come off as someone who's "awesome at sculpting and texturing". I'd say keep on trucking and practicing, and try to learn some of those terms yourself.

yeah even with a background in art its tricky to get where you want to be in this field. I studied illustration before geting in to it and although have an art background helps, it's certainly no guarantee. The only way is just to practice all the time and redo the tuts until it sinks in.
There is a great normal mapping thread here on polycount

Its clear you have talent- thats the important part. Anyone can learn the tech stuff- Its all about baby steps.
