Wow Blazier, that's very pessimistic. Might as well give up on everyone because you've had a few bad experiences, and tell others to give up as well. Polycount is a seriously great community and many, many artists have improved based on the crits and advice here. I'm one of them. I came over from CGtalk where you…
kay-vonlanthen I know right? Seriously talented people here. Lazlow Yeah I spent my summer trying out Mudbox before moving on to zbrush, I know what you mean. Cool, thanks a lot will do. And thanks for the tip about PBR, I'll check that out and hopefully be able to avoid plaguing you guys with screengrabs. And oh no I had…
Whoa. Dude, no one was insulting you. This seems to be a horrible case of text-sarcasm misjudgement... Just cool it man, take it easy. No one is out to get you, they're just having a good time, or a bad day. Whichever it is I don't think you should explode about it. I'm sorry if your experience hasn't fit you like the…
If only it was that straightforward, lol. All this shows is a total lack of understanding of the market which plays a massive role in if this is actually the case. And more importantly how much game industry experience and published titles add to what is considered a good portfolio. Personally I've never understood the…
I'll jump on this train. But I'll start off addressing the original post's desire for shorter-form anime, leaning toward inspiring/interesting works. For my initial post I will limit it to films and shorter OVA series, less than the standard 13 episode season. Anything by Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli: Seriously. You'll hear this…
Hey guys, this is where I'm at at the moment.. not sure if I'm going to get this finished on time. still so much to do! spent an hour today trying to get Mayas skin shaders to work.. does anyone know any tutorials for rendering out a turntable with mental ray? also has anyone any experience with Maya hair? as always crit…
Don't worry, it already is. Example here; For over a while people were complaing about this mod here being a system hog on your average system: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=429374670 But since it's a free thing, we just enjoyed it as it was, even with it's issue. Look at the newest line from the…
MoP: I think you are talking about the World of Warcraft cinematics. I remember watching the video, I just rewatched it, yes they used Max. However, just as with Blur's switch to XSI, they must have decided that the time they had invested with tools and knowledge was finally not worth it. I know the Maya modeling workflow…
Seriously, where have all the World War 2 games gone? It seems like eveyone forgot about it since CoD 5. I am personaly realy glad that Company of Heroes 2 is going to picture the russian/german war. Because this is where nearly 90% of the war took place. This is where the greatest battles of mankind where fought. The…
Honestly, I'd advise getting better taste than Yandere Simulator. Seriously. But if you're dead set, maybe look at some of this guy's older videos? He used to do a fair few about modeling anime style characters.
