Re: Self Education versus Guided Education
Even when you've gone to school...it's still about practice practice practice. If you want to push your skillset in the little time you have, you're going to have to scale back and work on smaller projects that allow you to develop your proficiency at a specific technique, or two, at a time. Think about illustrators who… -
Re: I need some assistance.
So the problem is you don't feel like you're making any progress on organic modeling and are too broke to afford tutorials? All I can say is spend less time worrying about your skills and reading about how to do art, and just DO art. Practice, practice, and practice some more. Make a thread for your work so you can get… -
Re: From CAD programs to game engine
- There is nothing "not correct" about the areas you outlined in red in the Cyberpunk weapons and the other professional model. - Regardless of a model coming from CAD or being manually crafted and/or retopo-ed (or anything inbetween), making game assets involves knowing how geometry shades and bakes, and requires… -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2024
Practice in creating UV mapping. I'm not very good at this technique, so I decided to practice. I modeled it based on our soap box, it is not complicated, but has its own nuances. The simulation was done in Blender 4.0.2. I used the free UV Packer plugin for UV packaging. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Ke8lZo -
Re: Section for noobs?

The veterans on this site that can provide you with valuable information, feedback and critique will probably choose to avoid the 'noob' section… -
Re: Need to move to the next level
Well I would say take some figure drawing classes and maybe even some color theory. If you can't then search youtube for "FDZSCHOOL" and "My Drawing Tutorial". Learn the basics of form and function of the human body and go from there. I would avoid trying to create something out of thin air until you have a firm grasp of… -
Re: The Art institute of Los Angeles
Oh, thanks for all the feedback. I pretty much figured a lot of this would be the case. Yeah, I am pretty much going there so I can be surrounded by the industry, because Massachusetts isn't exactly the gaming hub of the western world, haha. That having been said, the experience of being around like-minded people seems… -

Re: Creating hand painted textures.
@Slum - no offense taken. I guess what I was looking for was seeing a professional in action, their techniques and style. I know that I should just sit down and practice, practice, practice but I was hoping to get a good starting point before I do that. Also, I guess I learn better when I'm being taught versus me trying to… -
