I've always wanted to contribute more to Polycount since I joined. Its been so instrumental in me becoming a better game artist and the community shares so much, I hope with this I might finally have a chance to give a little back. There has been some interest about the Oculus Rift here on the forums I wanted to share my…
A few Marmoset renders... Hi Guys, I needed to try out a new boolean workflow and get to grips with Substance Painter properly. I felt a gun would be a good candidate for my portfolio as my old one was non-PBR and looked a bit obsolete! I found a suitable candidate on Instagram. A customized AR15. I wasn't aiming to…
Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I was looking for and it really got me fired up to get my shit together. I hope this thread can be useful for other people in similar situations as well! @Popol You are right. I have been using style references as not only that but also for anatomy and since I, as you point out, don't…
Hi! So I've been working on a several different sets of assets for some time and I think that one of them is done. Here is viewer with low setting to be able to upload it here, coz artstation gives you only 50Mb for the viewer. Garbage bags looks so clean, coz I will add dust and dirt in the Unigine via decals. To make it…
Alright, sorry for the delay but here are the flats for the mud ground texture. Workflow for creation (approx. 4 hrs): 1. Start with basic diffuse, something with enough detail in colours to bring out the normals/specular nicely. Make sure the map is at least 2k, you can always downres it... 2. Adjust diffuse colour…
It depends on what you modeled to tell you your next step. Since you made a high poly, that means you probably are going to have unique UVs. The next step would be to make a low poly. That can be done a few ways. Either duplicate the high poly and reduce it by hand or you can just build it from scratch. Whichever is…
What ends up in the game engine is triangulated. You can use whatever works best for you. Quads are great because it allows for easier selection of rings and loops. Tris are often great for organic forms. You might want to force triangulate a non-planar quad that might be auto-triangulated in the wrong direction. afaik,…
Its good to see you posting here dude! I will try to help you out the best I can, just make sure to post back with updates and questions. I am going to list my critiques in the order of which they happen in the pipeline, that way you can easily look back through your process and see how to fix them. 1) The highpoly base…
Good day everyone. I understand this question has been asked several times. I understand it is not the first and it definitely won't be the last and I also understand you guys have an extensive Wiki. I am actually not new to the art world. I have plenty of experience. I have been doing art for more than a decade. However,…
Hey guys, This is my first time posting 2D on polycount :) I did an illustration piece for my portfolio to get it a bit more up to date with my current level before I applied for a concept art internship and thought I'd assemble a process thing Because I was catering to that a little bit I went for a pirate setting and a…
