Re: Hobbyist portfolio - Yes, it's Lom Chaos'
At polycount we have artists with varying degrees of proficiency. Pro, hobbyist? Young, old? Doesn't really matter. We're all in one big pool, held to the same standards. Most people (myself included) don't care if you're 7 or 70 you're art will be evaluated on an equal level, regardless of any handicaps you might place on… -
Re: Spiffy Chaps - Webcomic
I agree, why not use those guys to do a comic? I don't mean to be a kill joy but get someone who can draw to do the drawing. There are enough funny people who can't draw, trying to draw webcomics already. You don't need to copy their handicap. If they can't draw, they should write jokes and let someone who can draw, do the… -
Re: Call of Duty 2
I finally got to play cod2 for some time. I was a bit worried when I played the russian campaign, but now that I finished the british north africa campaign, I think cod 2 is groundbreaking. It has not very much story, which is quite a handicap compared to F.E.A.R. for example, but the gameplay mechanics and the scripted… -
Re: A game that impacts peoples lives
Planescape: Torment is a wonderful example of a game that has deeper significance; the story is quite emotional and personal but more importantly it shares great ideas. One message in particular the game has (which it lets you choose, it doesn't seem like something constructed to make you agree with a certain view) changed… -
Re: 3Ds Max horrible packing compared to other packages
The UV tools for all Autodesk products are crap, not just for Max but for Maya as well. I'm moving over to Max after years of using Maya (requirement by employer) and I'm not really surprised that the UV tools are so lacking. I do hate the fact that I will have to leave my own UV editor behind and handicap myself using the… -
Re: wip steve correl
I don't know if it's 'nice' as much as him likely just never having done anything with a mouse himself. Some nice artwork has been done with a mouse, and I know a lot of guys on here started out using only a mouse (back then even entry-level wacoms were a lot more expensive) --including me--, and I'm not lying if I say… -

Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
It all depends. What equipment do you currently have? What's the overall sales goals? The best gear to start with is the gear you already have. If you already own a phone with a decent camera you can use it to put together a pack to get a feel for the amount of work and cost involved in producing this type of content. From… -
Re: How to avoid using photos in texturing?
"It's the end result that matters" is what I learnt in school. Staying away from photos for <insert random stupid reason here> is silly. Like perna says: why handicap yourself? Use whatever you have to use in order to achieve the best end-result. But yea, you shouldn't just take a photo, toss an adjustment layer on it and… -
Re: are Tris the devil?
It's possibly that what your instructor is trying to teach you is topology control. That is to say, you should control your model's topology - it should not control you. In the long run, there isn't anything inherently cancerous about triangles. But I would suggest that for now you should stick to quads. It's a handicap…
