I'm currently on summer break from university so perfect time to do a side project. I haven't done a huge amount of stylized/hand painted work so that's what I wanted to work on with this. Going for a kind of plants vs zombies garden warfare/big hero 6/ghibli mash up style. I'm almost out of the modeling phase, and…
One of the biggest giveaways that things are 3d for me is how the shadows fall and wrap across a surface and they've done a pretty good job here - there's some lovely shaders in softimage developed by the guy that produced the animatrix and tekkonkinreet anime and used by ghibli that uses vertex maps to control how shadows…
Hello. Looks like it has been roughly ten years since I last posted on this forum so I thought it might a good idea to share my progress on my newest project and I'd really appreciate some fresh eyes on this. The goal is to get a realistic real time ready character in the end based on San, also known as Princess Mononoke…

"Honestly, I don't even know if this is the place to ask the question" What exactly is the question ? "Upon watching videos like these" The majority of timelapse painting videos that you will find on youtube are based on a picture reference not shown on screen. In some cases colors are even picked directly from the source.…
It's not that unique sci-fi doesn't exist, it's that companies are too chickenshit to take a chance. What recent sci-fi film/game actually made you go, "whoa, what?" based on visual design alone? I'm hard pressed to think of anything notable within the last decade that broke any mold at all. Ghibli always managed to bring…
Hello all! My name is Melisa and I'm an aspiring artist here in Toronto. If you've seen any of the Studio Ghibli movies before then you've probably come across a scene that made you think "I gotta model that!". For me this scene was definitely Howl's bathroom. There is so much information to work off of and the colours and…
Depends what you're going for but usually no, they are not adequate. My opinion is that they are better suited in a Journal/sketchbook/blog space that you maintain alongside your portfolio - such as here on polycount! If you have a large collection of practice sculpts (say, more than 3 or 5), then that may be enough to…
So yesterday I got ill, really ill, and didn't get much done. I had a fever dream that somebody at GDC tweeted some kind of holy grail of game art tips, that would let anybody make anything they imagined instantly. But his tweet was all jumbled and I had to re-tweet it in some strange way in order to divine any information…
@Fabi_G Excellent work, the texturing it really solid stuff and I love how soft things look without losing their silhouette. If I had to nitpicked I'd say you could have given the top edges of the trunk a bevel just so those edge highlights you've got painted are really able to shine a bit more. Also, the fire particles in…
