For my University course we had to prepare a piece of art for our portfolio. I chose to model the first safe house of Sleeping Dogs but a bit different, based on a concept art by Stuart Ng. BLOCKOUT Firstly, I started by making a very basic Blockout of the scene. I had to be careful to position the assets as close as…
A number of large publishers and publisher-developers already either do major outsourcing business with Chinese companies, or have permanent facilities in China. I'd rather not name names, but I know of at least three, and they're all names everyone here would instantly recognize. I'm not accusing any of them of…

Your project is a microcosm of that: a t-intersection in a claustrophobic alley. That's not a bad thing at all, smaller means you can lavish each individual part with love, but in light of your…
大家好~ 我是一名来自中国的3D美工,我英文不好,所以我尝试用中文在附加英文的方式来发布我的信息。 我最近计划完成一个我的个人作品,作品的内容是一个长着犀牛头的半人马生物,它应该是一个原始且强大的战士,但是我没有原画作为参考,所以进行的比较艰难。对于它的服饰和装备一直不知道要怎么设计。所以暂时就先做成裸体的样子了。 我在这里发布我的进程主要是希望能够在制作过程中听取大家的意见,能够使我的作品更上一层楼,同时也能提高我的技术和认知,在此先谢过大家了! Hi all~ I am a 3D artist from China, my English is not good, so I try to use Chinese and English…
