Thanks a lot! It was a great project to learn from (and I'll definitely be better about sharing my WIPs on my next project.)

Not exactly a still frame from our movie( https://bloodandclay.com/bnc.php) but showcasing mood and feel.

Some glTF materials I've made, real-time vs. raytraced.

Noren · Jul 30 2025

Nice! Doing some velvet myself at the moment (not realtime, though) and looked up your solution for the "combing" direction. Turned out to be a quite similar approach. I used two noises in the red and green channel. Good enough.

Hi everyone,
this is the result of my attempt to move from the props I make at work to vehicle. Can I please get some feedback?

The best thing for this is to start your own Topic, and ask for feedback. More about that process here https://polycount.com/discussion/236570/how-to-use-polycount

This "what are you working on" thread is about quickly sharing what you're doing, not about back-and-forth. That's what having your own topic is all about, so share an update here, and include a link for people to go and see more, and for them to interact with you.

so I have been messing with boot panelling in my spare time, used the well known panelling technique that I used for cars
but this works great for shoes and boots and is 90 percent non destructive
after exporting to zbrush and doing a bit extra detailing i use the original with 1 sub d and remove all the other modifiers to make the normal map. Comes out super clean

still relies on using good topology fundamentals, so is not an easy fix

I’m currently refining some details of the low-poly model, while a friend is creating a test animation for the armored car. Next week, I plan to move on to baking and texturing the Panhard CDM 178, preparing it as a game-ready model to include in my portfolio. (purely a personal project — there’s no actual game, but I’ll make it available for download

)

I'm currently still working on my toy makers workshop environment, just done with most the modelling and have started texturing a few of the unique assets.

Howdy, newish to 3D and newer to this community, stoked to see and share some sick artwork. Here are some projects I've been working on, started learning about 8 months ago.

I'm fixing some lighting issues in my current scenario. What do you think could be improved? (I don't know why my artwork didn't load on this post, sorry)

Welcome to Polycount!

First of all, we're not seeing an image or a link, so you might want to Edit that into your post.

Secondly, this "what are you working on" thread is about everyone quickly sharing what we're doing, not really about back-and-forth and giving feedback.

The optimal process is to make your own work-in-progress Topic, then share a visual update here and include a link to your Topic. Then people can go there and see more of your work, and interact with you. More about that process here https://polycount.com/discussion/236570/how-to-use-polycount

Hope this helps!

messing with unreal engine 5.6 , just wondering if anyone can tell me about decals. I used them for the puddles.
is this a good strategy or would there be a better way to do them?
In blender I just did a kind of texture blend with a noise texture as a mask

Amazing updates and works you all!

That is a lot better than, using an "engine" while working on the current wip and having the entire room, lights and all shutting down to the room i am in... explain that one, while everything else in the home is still on... suspecting somehow the psu isn't 100% adequate for the setup? sry for off-topic but is there any way to see if a system is over a certain psu requirements? i have 850, anyone know can post a reply or pm me the search term to locate the site or video.

Ruz · Sep 14 2025

so figured out a resonable workflow for making boots/shoes etc. could still optimise the final boot baking mesh further, but works ok
obviously the panels just get removed for the final bake, as they are all non destructive. slightly high poly, but ok for modern hardware I think
will then do a substance pass , adding stitches etc
