Staying Motivated as an Artist
Hey Polycount. So it's been some time since I was last here. Quite a few years actually. I'm here to discuss a topic, hoping it will lead to helping me find my fire again somehow. I'll lead with what's happening. I'm a 3D artist, I've been playing around in that field for several years now. I started when I was 12 years… -
My new set up

Re: Texturing feedback - AKM
By "military wear and tear" assume means throughout its service life? Because at the moment as someone that had trained for years with similar grade ordnance + manufactured using the same materials which from my experience, can't recall seeing anything close to the level of damage applied, especially to those metal… -
Re: UDK Physically Based Lighting!

Re: Failed ArenaNet character art test

Also slight color variations would've been great. Especially at the leathery parts. Only use the reference as a reference and do slightly stronger… -
Re: Dota 2 - Lycan
Hey afisher! looking really nice so far! had a few questions on this that might be of some help. What tri budget are you shooting for in the lp? and what texture size? are you hoping to get this guy ingame? The things im slightly worried about is that the asymmetry you have here seems to be on the base a good bit, with the… -
Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
Its a way of life for me, not a 'job'. I love what I do even moreso now than ever before. I'm very lucky in that I have a wife that is equally passionate about games / game art and working on games - This helps! I also guess it depends on how making art resonates with you as a person. I've crunched for 14 - 16 hours a day… -
born to be a ramblin' man
At four this morning I awoke while my brain was in the midst of reassessing my life. Nothing unusual about that. It used to be, when I was a cub, that assessments would happen every few years and be cursorily dismissed. Aging acts to bring on assessments more often, at first when a life crisis breaks in on the fantasy -…
