But almost everyone stopped making games for top of the line PC specs a decade ago. Now that consoles are king whatever hardware they release with is what most games are designed for. Getting a top of the line PC specifically for a game, isn't going to allow someone to unlock greater "graphics" that aren't there. I…
I'm not saying it's common. But there's ALWAYS someone crazy enough. Best not to take risks you don't have to. The big issue at the moment is that all the power is in the hands of the employers, at least where the video game industry is concerned. The competition for jobs in that area is so fierce that employers get to…
Well... People are different. And different culture also focus or ban different things. When I was young I played the crap out of Dune 2. My friends at school ? "What, Dune, you mean Doom ? Doom is fun. I love it too." and I was like "No, not Doom. Dune. Dune 2." and then they go "WTH is Dune 2. Sequel of Doom ? Does it…
Hah, I almost feel like I forced you to change it! No worries, though it's looking really nice; I'm glad you liked my tips. I like the new wings, as well, but I think the old style blocky fin worked well for the one on the back. See what bringing back the rear one does for ya. I like the new hub on the sphere where the…

"Asus P8P67 Deluxe" Be aware if you haven't already read into it that the intel chipset is woeful in terms of pci lanes. But you have little no other options these days. Intel boards modified by the likes of Asus, or Gigabyte (or any company really) have to use these limited resources to support both the intel chipset and…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
I need to make a quick animation for my class literally due tomorrow, and something I'm really struggling on is animating the wheels. I am natively a blender user, so what I'm used to is, having a constraint that allows the wheels to automatically move with the body of the car. In Maya I used an expression to do something…
Hello! Here's a breakdown of my latest project. The primary focus was to try and learn the substance painter pipeline, as I'd not had a chance to use it much at work. Here's some shots of the final results: More here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LwBYR Some WIP shots: I try to keep notes as I work, to help me learn…
i can imagine that if you have unfolded something and you have several rings nicely unfolded and then you have some round caps and they are unfolded nicely as well. What happens when packing is that it can be very possible that your islands wont fit inside the rings. To solve this you may want to to scale them so they seem…
