Re: Need guidance: As junior, where should I start to improve my skills ?
It looks like you have some nice 3D fundamentals - I think you have what it takes to get into the industry as a character artist. Your best focus right now based on your portfolio is life drawing and studying anatomy - dive into that headfirst. If you don't really draw, then sculpt the human form from photo reference, and… -
Alternatives to Movies and Video Games for hard surface artists
Hello Polycount community, I spent some years studying subdivision surface modeling, by practicing concept designing and vehicle/props modeling, although upon searching for jobs, I've noticed that the vast majority of them are only from Game studios and VFX. I was wondering if any of you had a list of other fields that are… -
Maya or XSI
Greetings guys; I have learned and practicing both programs for 3d modeling but I wanted to figure out which one should I stick to and pursue further practice and learning. I have been using Softimage XSI and Maya (as the title states) I know how to use the modeling tools in that, as well as laying down the UVs for the… -
Re: Colleges with No Portfolio Requirements
Another option if you're willing to study in Canada (cheaper for sure), you can go to Sheridan and take their Art Fundamentals program. I believe it's only a year long. https://www.sheridancollege.ca/academics/programs-and-courses/art-fundamentals.aspx It's really for artist wannabes who have zero art skills but the art… -
Re: Sketchbook:ErikNilsson.
So I decided to do the Noah Bradley 21 days challenge! Im doing "Master studies" of other artists paintings for 21 days, Il try to most of the studies based on old dead oil painters, but I figure, since the point is to improve my own digital techniques I threw in a few digital artists as well to study how they tackle the… -
Re: An Animated Short Movie - Any feedback welcome -)
Looked at your breakdown video and saw that you had some reference, which is really good, especially for complex movements like you're doing. I'd suggest taking more time to study the refs to get a good understanding of how the body's gonna move and why. The motion capture clip needs to be edited, I noticed the hands and… -
Re: Sketchbook: JTWhite
Oh yeah, totally different haha, but I've found myself wanting to spend a great deal more time in photoshop and a lot less time in Maya since I've started texturing more, etc. So I started with some material studioes, and figured why not practice with some slightly larger than normal thumbnails. Of course, since I'm a… -
Re: My daily 3D modeling sketchbook.
Starting this up again. My boss at the studio I'm interning asked me to do 4 hours of anatomy study every day. Here are a few days worth of work. Not much I'm afraid, I really need to work on my speed. Just pencil and paper so far but I'm going to switch over to 3D from now on. Will try to do one every day, four hours… -
Re: Age of Blood | Aether Control Room Environment
No problem, you should definetely study lighting and how it is used to convey feelings and support composition. There are a lot of great examples from paintings and movies. You'll be surprised how much is actually not lit at all or very dim. Its probably the second most important thing after a good layout. Scrap all the… -
Re: [Portfolio Review] Stylized Environment Art - Student
Finished meaning like retopo'ed, textured, etc., studies. I have been told by peers that they weren't fans when I posted just sculpts and what not on my portfolio and have heard it over and over since on both forums and in studio. Just my personal rule of thumb, employers like to see that you can finish a project or a…
