Re: Any Tips On Picking 2d Concept Art For 3d Modeling Portfolio? Are Original Concepts Preferred?
Thanks @Alex_J . All of that makes a lot of sense. Will work on each of those things. I have indeed started to map out which studios exist in and around my location. Next, I plan on looking at the projects they have handled in the past & then gauge what art styles they expect. That should help give some direction. I also… -
Re: Help! I'm in art Purgatory, but I have no art...
Start modeling simple things in the real world: stuff you own, ideally stuff on your desk. Model a pen, or a glass, or a TV remote control. The simpler the object, the better. You will have 3D 'reference' right in your hand. Don't stress too much about the results. You will quickly get better...trust me. Just keep making… -
Re: What website, resource, or school was responsible for you first getting into games?
I got into games when I was four years old, and my father brought home his Apple IIc for the first time. As far as editing games, I would have to say right here on Polycount (Q2PMP at the time) was my first exposure to game development/art. Before that games were something that I was very enthusiastic about, but had never… -
Re: Studding Anatomy

Re: I'm part of an incredible indie studio; but where does my career go now?
Thanks @Daew and @Joost ! Good advice, I nearly forgot my hobbies when I focused all my attention on 3d art four years ago. I actually got into 3d character modeling so I could finance my armoursmithing obsession, heh. AAA is also on my list, I haven't really had that experience before, and I think I'd learn a lot there.… -
Re: [UE4] Warehouse Loft
Awesome scene! The sense of world building and design is fantastic! Edit: Here, have a crit as well! As awesome as the design elements are, you could certainly push it a littlefurther with things that aren't so generic. You might want to ask yourself questions like What does this person do? Are they a professional on hard… -
Re: moving on
Yep, I agree, COMPLETELY. I have a kid and it's one of the things I ferret out in interviews, even before I had a kid because it is a good indicator. My CD has 5 kids, my AD and PM have kids and they are some of the most productive and dedicated people I know, they have also been with the studio the longest. I also crunch… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
brilliant thread and i think most of what Kevin said is true for any creative field. 3d art is just a little hobby im trying to get into to for me my real thing is music and sound and almost everything said here is just as true to this field. there is nothing wrong to mortal's way of thinking except that isn't suited to a… -
Re: Recreating Riven?
I don't see the problem in recreating these. I'd think of this more like a realy detailed concept art, considering that actually nobody has realy recreated these scenes in a serious manner (as far as I'm aware). I actually thought of something like that, but I'd love to see this done in the way they made it back in the… -
Re: Seven-Way Scuffle
Far too often, yes. Is the main character competition not a Dominance War? I've seen more soldiers on Polycount than I have in real life; now think of another profession for which that holds true. I can't quite think of any. Can you look at last week's recap and tell me this community will help me make beautiful things?…
