looking at some earlier shots I was thinking " maan that's gonna look so messy with all those details" but as with most environment progress threads it can be very hard to really envision how it will look in the end. This turned out really faaaking good, the lighting and post effects really enhanced that alien ambiance and…
I haven't read the whole thread, don't have time to, so this might have been covered already. Studios look for a level of performance not necessarily titles under your belt. If you portfolio looks like someone who has 2 years of experience then you will get noticed even if you haven't worked a day in your life on a title.…
Cool website, I'd say it would get you a job as a web designer before a game artist though - that's not a crit against the work... the art is pretty solid, after clicking through the framework to access it. here is a crit given from Gauss to Richkid on his website: consider this advice as well: "howdy gavin. some of the…
I managed to fix it!! After a lot more digging, the issue ended up being that the stems that weren't showing up was on another UV set and marmoset was reading the top UV set / default UV set instead of the other one, so I combined my UV sets in Maya.

Negative scale mirroring, in my experience, is bad mostly because the normals are flipped. Most games render polygons only single-sided, so you end up with half the model looking inside out.
Good work at wanting to improve. This isn't a great model for pushing your skills, as it's very simplistic and missing a lot of the tougher cases. The whole avoiding Ngon thing is really dependent on what you are modelling, they are actually totally fine on a flat surface. N-gons are mostly bad in cases where the plane is…
Hello everyone, my name is Alberto from Italy. For who have just started and want to see how modeling works in Maya, i'm streaming on twitch everyday. My goal is to create a group of people that help each other and talks about 3D Modeling. If you have questions for Maya i'll try to help you. B) I will do personal projects…
So, the crew I'm helping with an alpha demo, somehow, someway one of the characters we needed for it is gone. Don't know how or why but I downloaded Make Human in a desperate attempt to have something for the end of the demo. Which we need to have the character animating before the weekend. Anyway, I know nothing of…
