Hello everyone! I'm teaching myself how to draw and paint, with aspirations that someday I can work in 2D art - both digital and traditional. Can't wait to get immersed in this community and see where the journey takes me. See you around
My name is Bobby. I've got many (too many?) years experience creating content for other people. Now, thanks to the miracle of quarantine, I've been blessed with the "opportunity" to transition from character artist to indie game developer, allowing me finally to put that college programming experience to good use. I look forward to eventually posting stills, videos, and WIPs from my first commercial game.
I'm Paul, currently living in Hamburg, Germany. I'm looking forward to learning everything I can to be a great environment artist one day Thanks everyone!
I'm new here, self learning 3D isn't easy and I know how powerfull can forum be, so glad to join this community ! ( I'm a bit late here because I already created my first topic but... better now than never ! )

Hi I'm Charles. I have been working in the Video Game industry for around 12 years. About 8 of them as a 3D Artist mainly doing mobile games. I teach a little at a local college. Nowadays I focus my skill acquisition effort toward AAA console/PC games. I work primarily with Blender/Substance Painter. I used to work a lot with 3DSMax which I know pretty well. I know some ZBrush, some Maya, and some Designer. I still love to learn new stuff. Looking forward to commenting on your post and reading your feedback on mine.

Hello everyone! I'm a new member and going to school for animation and game development. I hope in the future I can post my work and get helpful tips in improving my skills.
Hello everyone, my name is Steven Rhoades. I am attending Los Angeles Film School for a degree in Animation and I was looking to branch myself out there to fellow animators. My focus is to one day hopefully create an amazing video game with the skills that I will be learning. I look forward to learning what I can from fellow posters and hope that I am able to help in anyway that I can in the future!

Hello everyone I am an Animation student in my first month at art school! I am not sure what I will specialize in yet, but I am so excited to learn and share with you all.
Hello! I'm Kasey, I just started my degree in animation with and emphasis on character and world design, which I'm pretty pumped about. I have literally zero experience with anything art related but have gotten really into it and practicing a lot lately. everything can be learned so I'm excited to keep hard charging and improving my art skills. Looking forward to interacting with all of you!

Hiya, I'm N0RTH and I like to work on 3D models. Currently working on some observational studies involving a lot of skulls. I'm hoping to learn a lot here and get involved with the community. Thank you for having me and looking forward to interacting with you all in future posts!
I'm sort of new but not really. I started in digital art and 3D probably in the year 2001 or 2002. I'm a professional in the industry; I've got my name in some credits for some video games, but I've since moved on to other industries with my skills. Bounced from video games, to aviation design, to now landing in 3D commerce at Amazon, where I primarily provide expertise around 3D Materials.
When I say 'sort of new', I mean I've been at Polycount before, like way back in the day. I was at the other big forums during that time, too, like CGSociety. But as I actually got into the industry, I dropped off of forums. Lately I've had a desire to get back into social circles of artists, to help others and to receive feedback from the community. It'll take some discipline on my part, as I've grown to be a bit of an introvert.
Hello community! I’ve just started down the path of obtaining a degree in computer animation. I’ve been an artist since I could hold a crayon, and as I’ve grown my art has taken up a mind of its own. I hope to continue finding inspiration and improving/expanding this evil genius until it outgrows me, takes over and wages creative revolution on the universe. I’ll need an army for networking and research purposes so here I am. On behalf of myself and my art, thanks for having us.
Hello, my name is Abram, I’m a new student at the LA Film school to learn character animation. I’m hoping I can learn a lot from these forums as I continue to learn in school as well.
Hi I'm Francis, 32 years old Canadian and I'm neither a developer nor an artist! I'm mostly interested in video game creation, especially the development of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, and more particularly indie ones. I love to read about performances optimization, networking, model poly count, PBR, animations, lighting system, VFX, post-processing effects, etc. even if I'm at the "basic" level of understanding. I had another account here but I lost the access to my email address and I can't log in anymore. Soon I'll post a thread about In-Development Indie MMORPGs since I believe there's a lot to learn from those indie game. Ciao!
Hi my name is Jean-Pierre just about to turn 40 and live in Germany. I know polycount from back when Half Life modding was a thing, I do think I was active here back than (arround 2000-2001) probably as Blackcat or Blackpanther. Back than I did mainly weapons, tanks and stuff like that. I also managed to get an internship at Madcat Interactive Software (working on Heaven and Hell, Elfenwelt and Der Planer 3), but that experience kinda crushed my dreams back than (I really lacked the ability to work self-reliant and also were often tasked with things I didn't liked doing ... I was young ). So yeah after 20 years of lurking (remember the Dominance Wars? I do ) I want to get back into 3D and aim to become an freelance artist (seeing the Corona situation as an opportunity).
My name is Joey, nearly 40, still trying to find my place in the world. I've been a fan of 3d since it started. I have dabbled for a long time but never committed until recently. I was out of work a couple months due to illness and needed something to fill the time so I dove headfirst back into 3d modeling. First trying to get a video game made but that hit some snags. Now I make cars. I'm very new to that though and still learning much. Basic models at first but now halfway through a 30 hour "master course" for car modeling in Blender. I look forward to seeing everyone's work and I hope mine can be good enough some day.
I don't know if I'm allowed to do this but if anyone is curious, I have a personal page at www.joeyshifflett.com.
I am Matt Dawe. I am a 2D and 3D character artist. I love video games (particularly old video games (gotta respect the classics!)), both playing and making them, and am looking for work in the game development industry. I recently graduated from Ferris State University, where I studied in the Game Design and Digital Animation program. I also enjoy illustrating comics, storytelling, video editing, and manly anime.
