ok, so good thinking on sticking with doing props. Lot of people can get carried away and want to do characters and what not. Character design is VERY competitive! Better chance of getting a modeling job making assets. I suggest going to ebay to find some more antique like props. Antique props are the best because they…
TeriyakiStyle: They were appraised before they were donated to the antique store. The place I got them at is a non-profit that supports a local food bank, so the previous owner probably got a nice tax write off. I'll definitely check out Guy Downing and see if he seems like he'd be good for taking care of them. There isn't…
of course they have more loops, they also have finer definition, its based on an antique sculpture they just don't have as much definition in the knee. just look at the final image, do you recognize the mesh, no? then its all good. even for games if you have individual toes (or lets say fingers). they are far more detailed…
Great looking scene dood. Something is bothering me though and that is the supports that's between the pillars. They look like they are about to crack by the weight of those bends holding the glass together. You might want to add additional support to them or make those bends smaller in between.

Good evening everyone ! Here are some wip shot on my latest scene. I wanted to do an environment that mix a scifi architecture and some antique props and elements. This room is part of a bigger spaceship/station orbiting around an hypothetic planet of the Proxima solar system. It's also where this women spend most of her…
Yes by all means please burn out and jade the newbies before they ever take a full time job... awesome. But honestly he's no worse than someone who combs junk yards looking for antiques to sell. He technically pays for it, he just doesn't pay what its worth. If you don't like it, let your doberman loose and fill his…
@Tectonic Thanks :) I'm pretty excited about this weapon! Booked the day off work, worked on a little bit of Skyrim, and then decided to continue on this. I created the clothes peg contraption to release the bungee, used bent nails and a tuning fork to hold the arrow down, and for the forestock, I am using an antique chair…
Hey guys. Starting on some portfolio work and need some C & C for it. I'm always looking to improve as I'm fairly new to 3d. I'm wanting to ultimately become an environment artist for the gaming industry. First off I started making an antique lantern the other day. I'm basing the hi-poly on this reference. The reference…
Hello everyone, my name is Jeff and I'm currently attending the Art Institute of California - Orange County focusing on Environments and Props. I need some critiques on some props that I would like to get to portfolio quality. First one is an Antique Camera, based off of numerous Kodak and Rochester Camera Models Second is…
