Hot dang this is nice, also feels good on my end to see someone "returning", to their pieces and having been a member for so long. So i am interested to see more of this when you can, been a bit since then i see, but like all other threads and projects i was interested in i hope to one day see them return to "continue"…
Yeah, in that case maybe learning illustrator and Flash would be the best route. But there are many paths you could take. I think you could definitely get a 3D job doing mobile and browser games. A lot of them require that hand painted look because of the low spec requirements. I could see you as very useful to a small…
The polygon limit is pretty high. You can import easily 15M triangles and paint on it smoothly, even on mid-end GPUs. There is no limit to the number of texture sets you can have (700 is the actual limit I think) but the more you have the more Painter will have to swap things in memory and the tool will get slower. But…

You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a…
Yes, anatomy is something I am struggling a lot with, and I am directing my current efforts into learning and practicing more of it. Ah my apologies, I should have checked the forums better before posting here. I did notice in the 3d showcase area there is also a quarterly character challenge which catches my attention, I…

Thanks for taking the time to write some feedback Mark, much appreciated. Re. the straight edges - I gave someone else the exact same advice recently about knocking some of the edges out. I fear the domino rally effect on this house though. It's so complex and has so many parts that line up with other parts etc that as…
I made a few 2d game animations for the Unity team on their 2d GameKit project. Check em out! You can also download and play the game right now: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/2d-game-kit-beta-107098 It was definitely a fun learning experience. I think if I were to make them again right…
