Re: Ok, I got some real bad reviews, now what?
1) Never expect Polycounters to roll over and play fan boi unless your stuff is so good God himself says "I swear it was a photo". You might get a pat on the back but more times than not you will get a crit that will help you grow. 2) We give crits not to hurt you personally but to build you up as a better artist. If you… -
Re: Physical (and not so physical) Locations for Networking within the Game Industry
GDC is good. Maybe there's a local chapter of IGDA that meets near you http://www.igda.org/ Try to get out to a physical gamejam of some sort. There are new ones popping up all the time. http://www.gamejamming.com/ http://globalgamejam.org/ http://www.whatwouldmolydeux.com/ Or participate in one virtually, Ludem Dare is… -
Re: Yo... booo!
Not trying to rain on B1lls parade, but there is one disadvantage to strip modeling. Unless you are a uber genius, how do you control your polycount? You guess how many times you can extrude that edge and end up at an arbitrary number, then go back and either optimize or uprez depending on if your guess was too low or too… -
MINI-GOLF!
Starting January 20th, 2014 this contest will be a 4 week affair where artists will be tasked with creating a single mini-putt hole (and a custom golf ball if you'd like!) using Havok's Project Anarchy tools. That's right! Not only will you be creating game art, but you will be designing your own mini-golf level and put it… -
Feedback: the Escape, contests/challenges
Hey everyone, Now that the Escape has ended after 10+ weeks of being an active challenge (contest) on Polycount, we thought we'd ask for feedback. We're not specifically looking for you guys to answer these questions, but we wanted to ask them to get you in the right state of mind for the type of feedback we're looking… -
Re: Smoothing Scans in zbrush problem
Can you post screenshot of original scan ? I have scans that are bumpy, noisy, with errors that are easily cleaned with claybuildup, demstandard, move and flatten brushes. Those scans are mostly humans, raging from 6 to 10 milions tris. I do cleaning on original scan before remeshing and reprojecting. My remeshed polycount… -
Re: Sketchbook: NecronPariah
Sorry I took a while to upload stuff - the Polycount website was being derpy on me. Here are some renders of an alligator snapping turtle I did for my first ever 3D modelling project. List of things I already know to fix because of in-class critiques: - Needs more wrinkles (a lot more) - Legs aren't long enough - Eyes are… -
Re: Silhouette Masking
I'm all about modeling, it's fun. I was wondering what polycount I should start using nwo for my next gen reel. When I made my first reel back in 2000 I was making characters with a 5000 poly limit they had all their fingers moving eyes, mouth. For the last six years I have kept polygon counts low 2000 or less tris. Now… -
Someone passing off my work as theirs (maybe yours too?)
Hey everyone! Strangely enough when trying to find an old thread on some crossbow forum, I came across a website where someone was claiming my work was their WIP. here is the polycount thread for the project: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100712 And here is the fake:… -
Re: How to know is your mesh after retopo fine or not ?
For a CGi character, a production model, subdivision modeling with a good topology for deformations and UV seams. You can see hundred of wires in Pinterest, the wireframes tend to be very clean and "quad only". For other assets, such as props, you can see standard meshes or subdiv models, all depends of the object shapes.…
