The OP and this selfish archetype we are describing does not remotely come close to the reality I know?? It's been my experience that even before the internet one could easily seek out any famous painter, cinematographer, sculptor etc... And in every instance such a potential mentor has always recognized and rewarded the…
Quite a few new additions to polycount lately, it's kind of exciting :) and welcome to the states! I'm going to say it straight out, your portfolio doesn't have anywhere near what it takes to make it in the industry, you'll learn why when you keep at it. But you're on the right path posting on polycount. You show some raw…
Hey guys, I don't really keep up with cg that much any more, but I still love checking Polycount from time to time; just got an email about Dominance War going on right now and was shocked I didn't see anything about it here... so Polycount isn't participating this year? Can anyone shed some light on this for me, unless…
Heya Polycounters! I'm hoping to attend the upcoming Zbrush workshop in LA 8th-10th, but cant afford a hotel or to drive back & forth...My sister lives 45 mins away in West Covina, but thats a bit far for my tastes. Any LA based polycounters want to put me up for 3 days? The summit is free to attend and located at the…
Hey Polycount! Alright, so after a few random threads with various blender questions, it's time to start a proper Sketchbook and start contributing. I started 3d modeling and learning via the Polycount tutorials and other free resources in May of '13 (about 7 months ago). The dream is to work at Blizzard as a prop or…
Hello fellow Polycounters, so I've been on Polycount for a while.... but seldom post what I'm working on. High time that comes to an end! This is kinda crazy orc character in Persian style armor that I've been working on during my lunch break. Hope it's not too silly. Still playing with it, so any thoughts would be highly…
Hey, This might be of interest to the Polycount crowd. Torque 3d is open source, under MIT -> http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/21886 I've been using Cryengine lately but have been thinking about switching to Torque for my indie FPS project, however people keep telling me it's crap without really giving any…

Hey guys, I'm writing an essay on being an active member of online artist communities (Polycount, CGTalk, conceptart, etc etc) and their usefullness to aspiring game artists. If anyone from here would like to share a story on how Polycount helped them with landing their game job that'd be great. If you have any stories of…
Is there anywhere on polycount (or anywhere else that isn't reddit) that I can kindly ask people to give me constructive feedback on my portfolio? I've been working in the industry since ~2005. But since 2015 I was working for a studio that had me do... horrible things for money (just 3d models) so my skills have fallen a…
