Gday, I'm a 3d hobbyist looking for critiques an feed back. I've attempted attempted creating Modular assets and trim sheets in the hope of being able to create a proper environment in UE4 without success yet :) I decided I'd aim a bit lower for now and focus on creating a few props to the best of my abilities. Here's a…
I like Macs. I like their style and design. I love their external enclosures, which are some of the slickest in the industry. And most of all, I absolutely love OSX. I'd take OSX over Windows any day of the week. The problem is...I'm cheap as hell. So no matter how much I may enjoy Macs, my acquisition of them is kept to a…
finally, I am allowed to post something... well, kinda. This is not what I'm working on for the past 4 months! All done in humble Adobe Illustrator. and a few things I worked on that are now signed off but I can't really explain what they are for until the site is live, all traced from 3d in illustrator (because I like…
I work with Max at work. Should I use an alternative piece of software for modelling at home? My reasoning is that if I were to find employment elsewhere that used Maya for example, then the transition would be quicker and easier. Also using a different piece of software may highlight different techniques that I could use.…
Hi everyone! I've been a lurker at Polycount for a bit and have really enjoyed a lot of the work that's been posted here, and its been really inspiring! I've been wanting to switch to game production for a while now specifically to become an 3D Environment Artist. I have a background in CG (Modeling, Texturing, Surfacing,…
I recently learned that straightening our UVs is a good thing to as it reduces seams and helps in better UV space utilization. I tried the same on a model that I am working on and now I am a bit confused over is it really better to gridify my UVs or to divide them differently. I tried both methods: Less seams and…
So I completed my very first art test for a job/career! I'm really excited about this company and I know I did a damn good job, I just hate waitinggggg. I would love to post the art test and show it off but I'm under an NDA so I think it's best not to do that ;) . I've wanted a job in the industry since I was 13, and i…
Hey! I am just starting to learn Maya and I would like to know how I can make a proper curved shape. I kind of achieve to create a curved shape by creating a cube and then divide it in small chunks with the "insert edge loop" tool and then I tried to create a curve by moving/rotating the small chunks (I don't know if my…
Now I would like to start off with saying I've just started to take classes for this type of stuff, but it's a VERY long road before I can actually attempt most things required for this kind of stuff. Anyways I was wondering if anyone was willing to do a collaboration, but do most of the work. Yes I don't mind receiving…
Bought an iPad about 2 years ago. I wanted it for a portable reference library. Then i loaded music, language tapes and movies on it for my trip to Europe last year. I had debated on taking it on the trip for fear of it getting stolen, but it proved to be a life saver for purchasing train tickets and setting up hostels…
