Hello everyone, I started working on the sci-fi crate earlier this week and this is where I'm at now. I had to take some decisions here and there to adapt the concept to 3D but overall I'm happy with it. I still need to finish some floaters for the panel lines, which is something I decided to try in this project.
So I have heard numerous times here that hard-surface retopo is a big no-no in production. Why? Because if people want to change something afterwards it's hard to change high poly in any sculpting app for example. But then I see how Redstorm[ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3-6t59uU0&index=40&list=WL"] uses this…
Hello o/ So i've been working on this sci fi gun thingy for about a week now and to try out texturing i started with the cartridge. I soon realised that i'm pretty bad at texturing. At first i was going for a plastic look for te cartridge but tried metal instead and all i can say is that it feels like a mess. My color…
Hi, I'm Ben, I make mostly sci-fi themed hard surface models for environments. I mostly specialize in wrangling the source engine to do my bidding, but I've made a concerted effort to move to UE4. I started making textures and reskins for Half-Life back around 2001 or so, and have worked as a dedicated texture artist…

Hey Dai, I'd say the first issue with your portfolio is that you are shooting at too broad of a profession. In locations like Asia and such you'd be able to get away with throwing anything into a portfolio just as long as it looks good (not all but quite a few countries/studios) but in the western industry the majority of…
Nice color palette and lights show. I'm not sure how open to critiques you are, but two things immediately jumped at me. I get this has a slight dystopia / sci-fi bent so there's this nice mix of languages going on, but hadn't you included so many flags I wouldn't be able to tell it was set in Brazil. Where's the…
@Walrus, True I just realized that. I apologize to anyone. To make this clear I just googled imaged a quick pic and posted so you guys can see ref. Also, I wouldnt have any questions if I pirated the video hence this post. (Just wanted toi be clear about that) But I noticed that the video doesn't tackle topology which was…
I think for one, this box doesn't have enough abuse to it. Every detail that I see you have added would not read from more than teen feet away in game space. If you want a player to be running through a level and say "wow, what a sweet sci fi box!" then your details have to read better from a distance. The design is good…
Wix is fine, it gives the most freedom of all website builders i tested, but yeah its only as good as you make it. The presets are definitely the worst. So bad for beginners good for designers with no web skills. In this case he should probably switch tho. What you need to do right now is just keep on modeling and doing…
