[WIP] Orc warrior
Hi guys, This is my first post here ^_^ Here is a wip of my Orc warrior :poly127: I started him in Zbrush from a sphere with the intention of only practice a "ugly face" because I make pretty girls and boys most of the time. I usually model all in Luxology Modo and sculpt details in Zbrush, but this time it's going to be… -
[Hand-painted/Sculpt] Defining Materials
Hey, so how do you define materials in your sculpts, do you have any special tricks and best practices?

Frustrated Student Contemplating Dropping Out To Work (Please Advise)
Hello Polycount, I don't post much here but I'm in dire need of advice other 3D artists in the industry. I'm a self-taught 3D artist that just completed my first year of university at a highly regarded games program.

Re: Sketchbook: RedRogueXIII
Going around finishing up old stuff. I was on a roll until I tried my hand on doing textures. I really waste way too much time just adjusting the material base values between the diffuse/specular/gloss maps. Is it common practice to have a library of base materials setup? What I'm thinking is just using render to texture a… -
Re: 3d Modeling Portfolio - Hard Surface Modeling
Your renders are very flat and lack realistic lighting. The materials do not look realistic nor does it appear you are using PBR texture methods. I also do not see Normal map detail nor a metal/spec map detail. The modeling itself looks decent but I think you could really buckle down to go the extra mile. I would also… -
Re: What website, resource, or school was responsible for you first getting into games?
Loved games in my early years always wanted to make one. Picked up "TheGameMaker" at a young age. Disappointed at how limited it was. Fastforward a few years, went on "The game creators" website and got Fps creator. Saw some of JFletcher's work that he posted on there time to time. Pretty darn inspirational. Started… -

Re: Street Fighter III: Online Edition
The game is good! With a proper setup it feels very smooth, yet I am pretty sure that the very nature of HDMI is laggy. Ill be hooking up my 360 to a Dell PC screen tonight using VGA to see if there is any difference. I do wish I had a decent CRT laying around for this game. As for the whole package, I was hoping for a…
