Hey all! I'll be starting a new project in the coming weeks creating a quadruped animal - an otter. Before I start this project, I was hoping to get as much advice as possible and tailor it to my work so that I'm starting strong, and that strength continues. The last thing I made 4-legged was a hardsurface mechanoid that…
Hi everyone :) I'm in my second year of studying Game Art at university and I have the opportunity to do a placement year in industry.

TLDR: 200,00$ for learning game art?? I'm not sure if you know the average salary of an environment artist, but you would be paying that loan off forever.

"a) there are no job offers for "3D sculptors"" Because regardless of what the short title of the job offer says, what matters is the actual job description. "b) someone has to sculpt all that organic, stylized stuff. So I asked who is the guy." Yes, someone has to do this indeed. It's the guy who got hired after answering…

What's up Polycount? Being a longtime lurker, i've drawn alot of inspiration and motivation from this community and i figured it's about time i participated. This project first saw light as a school assignment (small 1v1 udk dm map). Being an avid player of arena type shooters, i loved adding ideas, new areas and how it…

I have the concepts, gameplay, and some of the mechanics ready, I just need someone to make some assets: weapons, vehicles, etc. Please reply if you are looking for something to do or want practice. I'll set up a kickstarter and/or…
