Mudbox- Displacement Map Trouble!!
Hi! Ive been using Mudbox for a while now but this is the first time Ive had to extract a displacement map to go into Maya. So I followed a tutorial on how to extract it and set it up on Maya and well.... the result does not look good to say the least...the displacement map kinda just makes my character look really fat… -
Looking for a 3D Artist/Animator for a pitch to a major publisher!!!
Hello Polycount Folks! My name is Tim. I'm the CEO and Creative Director of Lockeblade Interactive.

[UE4] Service Corridor - Yes, another Sci-Fi Corridor!
What's up guys. Thought I'd post here as I seem to have just focused on Facebook uploads (I'll leave my badge at the door). Below is a mini-environment I completed over 4 days, around 16-18 hours in total. Not had a huge amount of time to work on personal projects this year with work so with some time off I decided to try… -
Re: Female Photojournalist
i really like how it's coming along. The camera has really gotten better, but i'd push it more as it will be a focus point for the character. The battery grip was a good suggestion, I'm a bit into photography and i really couldn't imagine going around for long shooting sessions without the extra juice from the battery or… -

Re: I'm gonna be a dad!
Congrats! Your life doesn't change forever, it just changes for a while. Sure they're with you for 18+ years but as they grow they become much more independent and you start to get some of your time back. It can be pretty stressful at times, just do your best to keep things in perspective. Millions of idiots all over the… -
Re: Student Loan Forgiveness of 2012
Crazy fingers pretty summed it up. We live in a society that has had a lot of good experiences with higher education (who went to college in the 60s, 70s, and 80s). All through life we were told "go to college, be more educated, and succeed in life!" Today the tables have turned a 180 degrees. If I had an 18 year old son… -
Re: Contract workers and Taxes
I save 35% for taxes but never pay that much after deductions (more like 18% or so). I own my house so there are more deductions I can make but even renting you should have some significant deductions, such as rent, utilities (gas, electricity, even internet), and the obvious ones like software and hardware. If you don't… -
Re: I know everyone hates though what should I do with my life threads
What are your 5/10/15/30 year goals? What are the obstacles between you and your goals? Do you want to work in games, or in the art industry, or ___? If you want to work as a 3d artist, would you say your familiarity with 3dsmax or [software] is what's holding you back, your personal situation, your knowledge of art… -
Re: game-a-holics
I'm sure if a parent kills his own child because it was distracting him from playing a Gamecube, it has absolutely nothing to do with video games. Of course, that statement is half sarcastic. The fact is the parent was fucked up. Fucked up because he put video games above all other responsibilities in his life. But isn't…
