warning, massive post ;) (but plenty of nice pictures + 4 YouTube videos) Site: http://www.pingui-island.de/ What? Last big project I worked on in 2008 and 2009 before I moved to Australia.

Edit and on a side note So, after going trough a shit load of emails/messages and talking to a bunch of amazing and talented people, we realized that 3d artists are a lot more expensive than we initially thought. We unfortunately cannot spend more than $450 per month for 3d art, as we really don't have more money than…
@MRALO Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread. The object has a lot of repetitive surface features so try breaking it down into mirrorable or tileable segments.

Well all that's about to change with GTA IV. It's coming out on the PS3 and 360 at the same time some time in early 2008. The story involves an "Eastern…
Hi guys, Auke here. Visual Storyteller and Lead Environment Artist at Sooii. In the last year I learned a lot about landscape creation and besides Unreal, I used a lot of different tools to get the result I was looking for. My journey began with World Machine and I started to love and hate it. The results were amazing, but…
I've been working through a tutorial where the camera view changes based on a trigger that's activated. I finally got all of my code to compile, but when I went to test the script out (created a trigger and connected it to the "top-down" node of my Kismet action), it did nothing. I'm not sure what I did wrong or how to fix…
