Yeah man, from my experience make sure YOU save very often. It's incredibly embarrasing to have photoshop crash on you and have to start over in front of everyone because you didn't save. Also, I just taught some lectures on PS - I went over some very basic things that would be useful: Shortcuts + hotkeys How to PROPERLY…
A quick and most likely final update from me in regards to this scene. Textures and marmoset viewer breakdown for the 1402 card reader and the Selectric typewriter are available in my artstation profile: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/J3k3D I will try to highlight some things I did for my scenes that might not be…
Heh, I have no idea what I'm legally allowed to say or not about almost any of this, but I think I can answer a few things: There's a few things that might be a bit confusing that I can clear up: Authoring Tools: You basically need anything that can make hair splines. We authored our hair using HairFarm, but Fibermesh,…
^^ What this guy said. Look at portfolios of people who work at a company you'd love to work for someday. Look at portfolios of people at studios you think you might have a chance of getting into. Create 3-5 finished and polished pieces of work for the area you'd like to apply to, show final low-poly model with textures in…
Thanks for the replies! Things are way clearer now, here are my conclusions :): - If I create my low poly inside Maya, using "Angle and area weighted" or "angle weighted" for vertex normals definitely means custom normals. Even using "Unweighted" might mean custom normals (different from 3dsmax or engine standard), but, -…
Being a programmer, I only speak on a technical level ;) That's where I beg to differ, or at least we seem to disagree on what "too often" is. As far as I could tell from reading posts here on Polycount and other places, one of the arguments often used by artists in favor of the "specular workflow" is precisely that you…
You've got half the answer right there - at the moment you just slap an existing texture or photo on top and generate the other maps. Textures, like everything else is a skill and an art - you need to manually create these things. But this doesn't answer how - what I suggest to start with is to develop your eye for HOW…

So I've been into photogrammetry for a few years now and have been slowly upgrading my equipment to the point where I feel I'm ready to show off some of the results I've been getting. I got myself a color checker a few months ago and definitely realized that was the missing puzzle peace. Now all my scans can be blended…
