I just got the trial for 3DCoat 3 and I'm loving it so much to the point I feel that I can't live with out it. I haven't even completed a full topology. The tools were hard to utilize at first but you feel rewarded when you start seeing your low poly retopo fill in space and such. I haven't touched much on the UV tools but…
Hi, I am new to building a personal portfolio for my 3d projects and I would like some advice and critique for my portfolio. So far it displays the only one project that I deem presentable.

Hey, Everybody! Picked up sculpting in Zbrush quite recently and decided to model one of my favorite characters =) Due to inexperience with Zbrush, lack of artistic background and human head sculpting (tried a few in 3ds Max and it was very hard) I realize that my proportions are off. Could you recognize the character in…

I made this model so that I would have something to follow along with Konrad Hetko's face rigging tutorial---I've always really wanted to use wrinkle maps for character expressions, especially because it seems like a somewhat esoteric technique that isn't nearly as well documented as, say, modeling donuts. 😅 I know that…
Is there a website where I can just randomly view a picture of a face from a collection of thousands? Sort of as an artists reference for drawing faces. The only website I can think of that is in this vein is "Hot Or Not" unfortunately. (Remove this thread, please? It's apparent that within 5 minutes of looking i found…
