Hello there polycounters! I would like to ask you how to best approach modeling and texturing steel beams constructions, girders and structured steel trusses.

I'll be to the point. I have a friend who has a small company that hosts and puts together outdoor race/adventures. He likes to supply a custom trinket for the participants as a memento/trophy.

Been using 3ds max for a year now but that means hogwash in terms of the amount sheer learning that still needs…
Hey everyone, My name is Bill Berroth. I'm studying to be a 3D environment artist. Its high time I start using polycount to get critiques and learn from my mistakes to become a better artist. The first thing I'd like to share with you is a project of mine that is still in it's earliest planning stages. The basic premise is…
Hey, Polycount! Been a while since I've posted here. I wanted to do something new for my portfolio, so I've been working on a new character based on a friend's concept. It's still very much a work in progress, but I think it'd be good to get some feedback and help before I go any further with it. Here's the reference I'm…
