Almost pulling my hair out trying to follow videos on literal complete beginner starter steps on zbrush, I have made very simple models of head already, but I am trying to follow the videos, every other minute I am restarting because something has gone wrong and I literally have no idea why. The main issue is starting…
Here is a thread, https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2705197#Comment_2705197 the quoted comment, the 4th paragraph or so down states possibly why the 3d viewer like site & posting "aren't" selling. that is as far as my feedback goes with all of this.
Hello, apologies for the potentially "google-able" question. I'm struggling to understand why AO needs to be it's own map in modern renderers. Is it only relevant for baked lighting in Unity/UE? I know many stylized games or mobile games simply bake this information into the diffuse. Why do platforms with extra processing…
But that's precisely the problem - people who just want to see "pretty stuff" have (and do go to) Artstation for that, and they can also go check out the Polycount landing page. The whole point of text+thumbnails in the actual forum is not to push the pretty stuff forward, but rather, to be completely transparent. If…
It's just not enough people in studios yet who got enough Blender experience. I seems a single one who use it for example. Even sometimes it may gives you immediate advantage over Max .

I have to admit, I share this guys' parody critique so much as a nubile artist. There were SO many tutorials from skilled, seasoned artists that were terrible at teaching. Kudos to all those teachers who actually make awesome tutorials! Anyone else share similar experiences, or even see their own tutorials have similar…
This is true. And you can't really expect everyone on an art focused forum to understand this. The average demographic of applicants is a big issue that from a business sense is very very easy to take advantage of. I could elaborate but I don't think its possible to do that without offending everyone including myself lol.…
If you're not aiming to be in the industry then why would it matter what you put in your portfolio? What's stopping you from doing both? The reason most portfolios are one or the other is because it is extremely difficult to get into the industry without specializing. It's very rare to find someone who happens to be an…
Strap in folks, heres my opinion bomb: The core to all of this for me if, youre gunning to be an artist is to shape your life around being exactly that. Reduce as much of the clutter as possible, and avoid all the things that can be used as an excuse to not be doing what you should be doing, which is making art. Not…
