When you share tricks/workflows/whatever the input from other people tends to improve said workflow, or in some cases you are put onto better ways. Even if your trick is the be all end all, you build a positive reputation by sharing.
Anyone willing to share tips and tricks for when you're working to replicate a likeness, be it from a concept or real-life example? Wouldn't mind some tips towards this sort of stuff.

I am for example still waiting when Designer would get any convenient manual touching/finishing tools or otherwize Painter get something like node based level of a…
Hello. I wanted to show you my latest personal work. It´s the Revolver called "Ritchie" from the game Brink. I think someone from PC made the original version (Earthquake?).

Hi all I'm trying to put up a small game and have a lot of question regarding industry standards and some general tips and trick regarding lighting, texturing, light baking and stuff. I wish to learn here and hope that others would also benifit. So I'll start with this one question that has been haunting me for a while…
