There's way too many of these going on at the moment.. First job threads and layoff threads seem to make up most of the general forums at the moment. But finally the day has come where I can announce I have my been hired for my first 3D job! It isn't exactly in the games industry, I'm going to be working on serious games…
I have spend the last week working on my first environment scene. It was a lot of fun and i got to try quite a few things i have never done before. Although im not happy with the end result it was good practice and I feel like I now know quite a few things that i will do differently next time I do something similar. This…
Welcome everyone to the 102nd Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge for the months of May and June! This challenge is a way for real-time 3D artists to test their skills and create a piece of work based on concepts provided. It's open to those of all skill levels and we do our best to provide meaningful feedback along the…
You're online persona on Polycount most certainly can effect how you are viewed. It absolutely has cost some people jobs or shots at interviewing. A ton of people here frequent Polycount quite often. Most never post and you would have no idea the leads are always checking out the new cool art and tech threads but they are.…
Looks good! The boat seems very low poly compared to the rest of the scene,and the sharp angles draw the eye. Also if that is the final position for the boat/water level, there is no way to get into the boat... Wondering why the tank out the back isn't smoothed? This tank looks heavy, and there doesn't seem to be…
Johnathan Williams still has some public videos of his edge modeling and facial topology series from the late 2000's and early 2010's. This is fairly representative of how things were typically done prior to digital sculpting. At least for those using open source tools from the period. Tool sets do vary but a lot of the…
I didn't used to fear posting work in a lot of places, tried to maintain sketchbooks, post up things for critique, etc. Then after awhile I started realizing that I was focusing more on getting something "good enough to post" and how many replies (if any) I got, and was focusing less on the work itself. In an odd sort of…
Hi, I cannot post images in polycount forums, i am using the insert image option and pasting the dropbox image link. But the image is not showing up in my post, please help. Thank You.
I've spent the last few months teaching myself Zbrush and various other 3D programs. I'm mainly interested in creating miniatures/statues for 3D printing. I've been tinkering around with an idea for a while: What's the most efficient workflow for creating a high poly character (for 3D printing) with multiple versions of…
