hi there! good to see theres really good stuff in here, both 2d & 3d... seriously by looking the posts I am surprised by the talent of many polycounters, I am sort of new to polycount, but I'll try to post some of my wip's as well... hope you like them ;)
I've been to a dozen 3d artist communities and Polycount is the only one that has me coming back. I know I don't fully appreciate all the work that goes into keeping this community rolling, but it sure as hell doesn't go unnoticed! Hell, even the Polycount twitter manages to be awesome.
Junior artists are expected to make stuff that senior artists can make at a pace that is understandably slower. Also, you've already said you've been at this 3D thing for 1+ years, with no art posted to here on Polycount. You're not gonna get anything from Polycount if you don't post art.
I love this website and I've been on here for a while, but sometimes when I have things that I really need or want answers to, just posting it in Technical Talk isn't enough. It's great that the stuff I post there eventually gets read most of the time, but it just takes so long. My last question was answered by one of the…
Great news, notman! It would be swell to have a fellow polycounter making us some 3d Maxes, but what the hell. I'm happy as long as you're happy) have fun there
Polycount has the "We've been here since the 3d videogame Stone Age!" anchor thing going. GameArtisans has the "We have a pretentious name!" thing going. :D
My suggestion is take classes in as many traditional arts as you can, buy a fat book on art history and read it, and practice 3d on your own using polycount and tutorials.
Hello Polycounters ! I forgot to post the 3D version of my lizard. So, here it is ! You can check it in Marmoset Viewer on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/E3XD8
I think polycount people jumping on this site has been a good thing. With CGHUB it always felt like 3d and especially video game art was valued below concept paintings.
I believe you mean Jon "Not The UFC Fighter, but the 3D Artist and Polycounter" Jones, who angry UFC fans on twitter think was Jon Jones the UFC Fighter this one time.
