Should have actually built the slides first because once going through it, becomes much easier to understand it from the potential viewers perspective. then i updated plan on what art is needed. most the stuff I made will be used one…
Hey everyone, I am new to the polycount community! I am in the process of working in games as an environment/prop artist and I am also in the process of really learning and understanding trim sheets. I figured my first post could be about what I have learned about trim sheets so far and eventually building a scene using…
Hello, guys! Hope you're all doing well in the new year. I'm facing some issues and confusion in the past 2-3 months, not knowing exactly where my place should be.

I am starving for more creative work that will make my day-to-day desk job more…
So I work at Electronic Arts and the Vancouver office does recruit many candidates from Think Tank Training center. What I'd like to clarify is that while a portfolio certainly matters, there are enough resources online to get it to the 10/10 level as far as portfolios go. Now I don't really agree with the way the people…
Hello everyone I created an environment piece in Unreal Engine called “Merchant in The Valley”. I want to create a short breakdown for Polycount how I created the trim sheets and approached the modular assets and foliage. If you want to watch a video, I created a video breakdown for Stylized Station. Under the video, I…
