    Hi, I apparently made a profile a while ago but didn't post? Ah well..

    I'm Harley Gresham. I want to be a 3D environment artist. I live in Japan, although I'm from Australia. I've been taking Ryan Kingslien's online part time boot camp, and I've come to the realization that I need to go back to basics. Over the course of this week, I'll be starting my sketch book so I can get critique. Thank you, and nice to be here.

    Hello, new member. Been lurking for a while, but ready to jump in and get dirty. Recently moved from film and animation side of things to the real time world, so, this site has been invaluable.  I'm currently working as a skybox artist, but, am focused more on learning hard surface modeling in my personal time.
  • VioletDusk
    hi everyone. I have been a long time gamer I absolutely love virtual worlds like secondlife but they always made me want more, more of a gaming aspect to it. I have made clothes for second life and enjoy that but I have decided to start making my own video games and I am starting with 3d sculpting. I joined this forum for tips. I watched a video saying a good way to practice is drawing with good old fashioned pen and paper but I suck at drawing I do better on computers. I am going to be downloading blender and sculptris to get me to start learning. I want to learn a lot about before I decide weather or not I'm good enough to pay for classes. any tips, tricks, or advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hi there. I'm a beginner 3D artist who hopes to improve, and my dream job to is to work as an animator for games.
    I'm really shy but I'll do my best to be active with the community!
    Currently I'm working on a small 3D game to practice skills mostly on animation and general modeling.

    I used to have an old profile but I wish to start a new (plus I was ignorant at the time and just posted a single sketchbook thread of my crummy works, wondering why I never got a response or feedback). So I apologize for my ignorance and I'll do my best to keep out of troubles. I'm like a grandma when it comes to computers so I'll calm myself and try to read the things I can.

    Anyways, here's to a new start!

    Hi! New member here - just recently started looking around the web for forums for 3D artists and instantly found Polycount as a very inspiring community. I am 3D generalist with 3 years of working experience. Last summer I graduated from film school, however, I am more passionate about game industry than movies and I'm looking forward on improving my computer graphics skills to be able to join game development projects as environment artist and/or game designer. 
  • Faileron
    Hey! I've been meaning to post here since 2012 when I started a games design degree, and it was about time I broke that long-standing habit of not having an account!

    I've been doing some form of 3D art for about eleven years but don't have any professional experience whatsoever; I spend a lot of time doing it but haven't learned a lot. I'm hoping that this will change. :smile:

    Same as marsilainen, I'm a long time lurker. Ever since 2000 I've wanted to get into this field, more so Concept and Environment Design. Even graduated with a degree in Animation, which I've done nothing with ever since graduating. Better late than never. Will give back as much as possible.

    Hey,

    I'm a film and animation producer and actor in Los Angeles. I'm getting more into video game stuff lately, though I used to do mods... I've played around with Blender and made some spaceships. There's a few projects that I hope will take off and I could use some good 3D modelers. I also am a huge nerd and I love anime and do swordfighting... you can see my feature film on Amazon, it's called Altered Spirits. Anyway, hope to make some good contacts here!

    Hey! I got dragged along to the London meetup by Fearian and met a bunch of you lovely people!

    Hello everyone.  My name is Tim and my main skill is music composition which also includes live recorded performance and written transcriptions.  I have been transcribing video game soundtracks for a few years now and have composed for several game jams. It's time for me to reach for the next level.  If you need foley and design as well, please do not hesitate to ask.  

    At the same rate, I am always on the lookout for musicians and voice actors; I am oftentimes surprised by how much amazing talent comes from the most unlikely places.  Thank you!   

  • TravisMcCallum
    Hello!
    My name is Travis McCallum and I am training myself to be a VFX Artist.  Currently I practice building particle effects, materials and blueprints in UE4. Hoping to expand into other programs as my proficiency increases.

    I dropped out of graduate school for Journalism this year at age 31. (My B.A. was in Theatre.) I currently work two in-between-jobs as a server at a movie theatre and a contract video editor for a media company. I started branding myself as a content creator creating videos with AfterEffects. I had a chance encounter with two game developers at my server job whom encouraged me to do VFX in games as opposed to motion pictures.  They said the demand, job stability, medical insurance and many other incentives were there.

    I'm experiencing the joys and frustrations of being a technical artist with "full immersion."  Whenever I'm not at work, or spending T.V. time cuddling with my wonderful girlfriend, I'm hammering away on tutorials, articles, podcasts and the engine itself.  It's been two weeks since I made the leap and each day I am excited to compile a infinite combination of art inside a virtual constraint.

    Please recommend any mentors, masterclasses, podcasts, influencers and VFX you know and love to see.  Besides ArtStation, RealTimeVFX has been an invaluable resource in my continuing education.  Sadly the scope of VFX information is sparsely organized in comparison to other specializations-- which I might infer to the intense problem solving required of the job as a creative and technical expert on a myriad of subjects (anatomy, environmental, etc.)

    I hope to learn and contribute to this community.  I've only read wonderful and encouraging posts from everyone.  And if you are local to Dallas, TX-- hit me up for a beer!

  • RealFagiano
    Hiya fellow artists!!
    My name's Emanuele, I'm an italian 3D artist. I've attended a small school about game art in Florence and I'm currently looking to improve my skillset in creating game ready 3D assets and a good personal portfolio to show around when I'll be looking to be hired in the industry.

    I've been using the forum's vast knowledge pool for a while now and I think the time has come for me to start getting my feet wet.
    So by registering on this forum I hope I can get to know good people and exchange some quality feedback so we can all become killer artists and good friends.

    LET'S GO DUDE. ♥
