[Rigging][Maya] How do I get a hand rig that I can use FK controlls and SDKs on?
I can't drive the joints with the SDKs alone, because then the FK controls don't follow the joints. I could put a parent constraint on the FK controls, but keyframing an attribute with a controller on it ruins the values down the chain. (I think?) Right now the experiment is one group of controllers with the SDK on them,… -
Next Gen Environment Art - To Bake or Not to Bake?
Good afternoon, Looking at all the new screenshots coming out for upcoming games (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4 etc) I find the line is getting blurred as to being able to detect enviro assets uniquely baked or modelled with tiling textures. Is everything getting baked now? Before it was props and "hero" assets but… -
Displacement From ZBrush to Arnold (Maya) gets twirly when animating facial rig
Hi Polycounters :) This is my ever message here after ghosting for a while and this place is the best. I'm an animation student, working on my first ever 3D short movie. I made a model, and I've recently added a facial rig which works fine (for a first timer). I wanted to move towards my next step which is adding a… -
Re: Could I have feedback on my 3D bouncing ball
This is a great start! This could use a little personality, you can tell a little story with something as simple as a bouncing ball, and thus engage your viewers (and yourself!). Think of the simplicity of the Pixar logo animation with the light jumping on the ball, the shapes and scene are as simple as it gets, and yet it… -
Re: MoI > 3DS Max workflow (normals problem)
Your object from MOI is a NURBS solid object that gets converted to polygons at export. You may have to fiddle with the settings to get a cleaner conversion. No, the n-gons are fine. It's the misaligned/unwelded verts/edges that are the export error. If you're just exporting for rendering then polysoup geo or any geo is… -
[WIP] Lisbon Street - Unreal Engine 5
Hello everyone. I am close to wrapping up a portfolio project and I hoped to get some valuable feedback mainly on composition, lighting and colour grading from you guys. My goal was to capture a narrow, Mediterranean style, iconic Lisbon street in a small diorama, by using only a handful of modular assets. I textured… -
Fire Extinguisher | Flying Missile Breakdown
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR.

[WIP] Inca-Inspired Cave Ruins
Hey all! Trying to get better at posting my work on the internet and thought showing my progress on a project I'm working on here would get the ball rolling as well as give me a great opportunity to get feedback on what I got. I'll be adding on a bit about the phases of the project (i.e. reference, blockout iterations,… -
My Video Game Comic: The Next Gen Platformer
Background: If you know me, I've posted a lot of different projects in the 3D section. Many that have not materialized. I realize my problem comes from trying to marry all my 3D threads with original stories. It's something I can't help. It wasn't till last week I learned I needed to get away from all that and make 3D art… -
Re: 3D Generalist Portfolio Critique
Im not in the US but the games industry is in a rough place right now globally so stability isnt exactly assured if you want to get into games. Your arch viz, product rendering and interactive media look good but your characters are really lacking, its also a super competitive field of 3d work. I see you show wireframes…
