Hello there, I have been practicing 3d modeling for a year now. Learning from digital tutors, youtube, polycount and 80.lvl. This is the first little more complex model that looks like I might have the skills to finnish some day :smile: I have been using Maya student version for now. I know the basics in mudbox and…
Something else I'd recommend is doing things that aren't modelling but can still help hone your skills. I.e. Drawing, sculpting, painting. (As Torch pointed out, which I only just read) For example I've been getting into making real props. It's basically 3d modelling but irl. I find that the skills translate quite well…
We're starting up a 3D foam cutting business and need at least one concept artist with 3D modeling skills to join our team. Initially the work will be 20 hrs per week, but has the opportunity to expand to full time employment relatively quickly. You'll be primarily developing props for businesses including paintball…
My last thread was for my portfolio. The consensus was that I need hardcore work and I agree. I really want to be a character artist though, so I thought I'd take another try before I give up and move to environment. I am taking this model back to 'basics' and trying to learn the tools since I never really did. I'd love…
Polycounters, I am in need of your wisdom again! So here's the situation. I have the final difficult models left to complete for my group level assignment in college. The 3 of us are working on a UDK gold rush era environment in Alaska, and I have to create 3 log cabins (using Maya), as I have chief modeling responsibility…
Good morning. I have downloaded the zip file containing the pillar model, and i thought the pack contained the various states of the damaged model, but I only see an .FBX file for the stage one damage. I was importing this into Blender and viewing the model, is there something that I may be doing wrong, or did the pack…
I'm no expert in using UDK as a render tool so there's probably just something I'm missing - but this is a problem I have not been able to figure out after hours of searching around so I thought I'd just ask. I've run into it multiple times before but this is the first time I've had the chance to sit down and try to figure…
Hey all! I've been doing level design for quite a few years now, mostly in Source, but I've recently moved over to 3D Studio Max to break away from the engine's limitations. One thing I've never really been any good at though is organic modeling. I'd really like to find some easy to follow DVD classes that use max…
hey there guys! i decided on starting on a new side project, alongside another more major project. by that i basically mean that this project is less important than the other one i'll post up when there's more to show. now this particular project is my first time on clay, and i really want to push myself, cuz i've always…
So this is my 3rd year environmental model assignment made mainly in maya, and i'm digging the look of it so far, i handed in Image 1 and got a 90 percent on it which i think is a straight joke since i'm in my final year of school, and seeing some of the projects students are creating blows my stuff out of the water, i…
