Mac Maya help
Im currently doing some freelance at a studio that uses Mac's. I'm ok with mac's but its taking me a while to remember all the hotkeys, etc. Biggest annoyance though is using Maya 2011. I know there is a few but this one really boils my piss. Problem: Shrinking Outliner, Hypershader, UVeditor, etc. They all seem to be… -
Re: [Feedback needed] Sci-fi Environment Art - Games Art Student
Hi, welcome to polycount! Right off the bat id say your composition is interesting, id be interested to see some concept art of any references you're using! Your lighting is looking a bit intense as far as brightness which is leaving everything feeling flat I think, and your textures look very low res. Some of your rocks… -
Lighting in UDK
Ok quick question. If I have a modular piece where I delete the polygons the player will never see , will light be able to shine through the whole model and cause me lighting problems? I was planning on doing this with a ceiling but I just wanted to make sure that the outside lighting wouldn't be shining through to my… -
[WIP] Tail of Inari: 3D Point-and-Click Adventure Thread
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to polycount so... Hi, i'm a 3rd year Games Art student from University of Hertfordshire :smile: This thread will be focusing on my development for my 3rd year uni game, Tail of Inari, a 3D point-and-click adventure game.

Re: Environment Artist Portfolio Feedback
Your latest stuff is definitely trending in the right direction. Some feedback: Typewriter: - I wouldn't include this at all in your portfolio, tbh. Especially since your latest two pieces (Appraisers and your Artstation Challenge) show a noticeable step up in quality. - The solid white background is pretty harsh on the… -
Re: [Finished]- Crooked Forest environment, 'Those Who Mourn'
Now this looks cool. The tree in mid-left foreground with the exposed roots seems a bit chunky down there, and the long branch stretching into the camera isn't exactly clear to me what is going on. The archway shaped tree might look better if it's tapered -- like a normal standing tree that has just bent over completely.… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
Q: I have a question when you don`t mind. I want to change the hotkey to call the radial menu from RMB to Alt+RMB, because i rarely use it yet. And may not use it at all. But i cannot find the menu entry for that. Where can i change this? A: You can setup your own radial menus with hotkeys, Edit > Customize > Radial Menu >… -
Re: A Metal Vase. Asking for help!
From my point of view, firstly decide whether this piece is purely decorative or votive. In other words the former could belong anywhere indoors or out but typically if the latter, then most often an object of devotion will reside in a purpose built covered shrine which generally determines what level of patina, to apply.… -
Re: Sketchbook: illybang
Vig: Holy cow! Thanks for that wealth of information Vig! I really appreciate you taking the time for such a helpful post. Never knew about the 'Select Inverted Faces' feature. I was wondering why the UV was displaying backwards! Also, when you talk about mip mapped, how exactly should I be shrinking the model down? Is… -
Re: Cloth folds topology help
What's the distance to camera going to be? Obviously the further away you get, the more you can simplify. I would make sure the silhouette looks good. Folds located in an area and will not contrast against the background can probably be solved with less geometry. Being lazy, I often start retopo with some primitives/ tubes…
