I feel your pain also. Skin needs a rewrite, preferably by someone who has used it day in and day out for a few months. It works best if you do skin by the book and never screw up... ever. Even then you can't expect it to work like it should. The more you use it the less likely you are to do something it doesn't like.…
D5000/D5100 is a bad choice anyway, the camera does not have a focus motor and many(about 75%) of Nikon's AF lens lineup will not auto focus on these cameras. So unless you want to stick with the newest and most expensive Nikon lenses, you'll be extremely restricted. A D90 will work with all Nikon AF lenses though. There…
Hey everyone, After watching the awesome video blog by Tim Simpson, I wanted to start applying the advice he gave. This includes documenting my workflow. I was quite resistant to this idea at first, being quite protective of my work until it’s finished. So this is quite scary, but good scary. Hopefully myself and others…

Well, on Saturday I had to travel to Indianapolis on a business trip. Since my girlfriend had nothing better to do she came along with me. We were supposed to head back up home to Michigan on Monday. Well, she was 38 weeks pregnant at the time and on Sunday night at 12:30am her water broke in our hotel room. We had the…

Hello, This is actually only my second post as I just joined the forums. I've been modeling as a hobby for awhile now and just started college for game art/3D animations. I've been working on a game now for a little while with a friend of mine and I've been trying hard to make 'nex-gen' models or get better at it using HP…
Hi ya good people of polycount! Thought I'd start a thread now that I got this project done. I'm really bad at documenting my progress as I go but I'll try to include the most important milestones here. I'll kick off with a few 3DO renders. The initial idea was to just model an interesting object and then call it done. I…
