Hi guys, September starts and with it my return to a project that I had somewhat aside. And I would like to share with you my progress and results. I want it to be another level up to my portfolio (especially in the texturing part). I'm not sure if in the end I will make a small diorama with some extra props + a small…
Hello, polycount. I am an aspiring realtime character artist and working on my portfolio piece. Right now, I just finished retopoing the whole character, ended up with around 225k tris including haircards. My question is how many tris are acceptable for a portfolio piece? I did the retopo using quadraw and it took me more…

Hi! I'm a Dutch game development student in my last year now. Beside all the school project I want to start a serious (hobby) project. The idea is a 2D Rogue-Lite game set in the mid 1900's. The main character wakes up in an asylum and has to escape. In order to do this he/she needs the help of the other patients but…

Hey guys, Well, I've been messing around in 3Ds Max for the last few days, but at the moment I'm still at a fairly big loss as to how to make anything (apart from really simple shapes). Because I'm only a high school student (14 years old) there's no easy way for me to get a university/polytechnic course in it (but I am…
Hey everybody! Last week I had some free time and I decided I'd make something to give back to the community. Polycount and sites like it have provided a lot of good learning material for me over the years, and I figured maybe this will help someone else out. I noticed that I have a number of students following me on…
LATEST I decided to enter the Bioware contest - over at CGHUB, but as usual I was kinda late to the party and I'm still hoping to contribute something before the deadline. I'm a Student from Staffordshire University and decided to focus my dissertation on the competition brief. This meant a lot of prep research and other…
