Some of us have had the chance to learn from some really great mentors. They say things to us that sometimes slap us upside the head and other times go completely over it. I figured I would share some that I thought were really profound and maybe spread some thoughts and knowledge all while building a nice list (mostly…
When we announced the Escape: A Polycount Challenge we were pleased to be working with such amazing sponsors: handplane, Marmoset Toolbag, Quixel and Valve. Three of our sponsors are tools developers for videogame artists and coming up with prizes was a no-brainer: Let's offer the winners licences to their respective…
So, my girlfriend calls me up about two hours ago and tells me that there are about 100 zombies walking down the street. Just you know...'hanging out.' So, I ran downstairs with my camera and managed to get some quick pictures and throw them online. This was in the Fremont area of Seattle and I have no idea what this was…
Hello people of Polycount, I am a L4d2 Mapper who is working on my first custom campaign "Dead End". Here are some screenshots of progress so far.

Hello everyone. I would like to show the progress of a character I'm doing for an indie game. The idea is that it is a thin, dead old man. I'm having trouble to get good references of old skinny men. Criticism and comments are welcome. I hope you enjoy.
Yeah haven't you ever heard microwaves can cause wifi issues? its one of the random questions linksys will ask you when you call in for support. And that cell popcorn video is completely fake, easy to do. You don't hear about people that use cell phones all the time randomly dropping dead at the age of 35. What we eat has…
This is a great post. I vote it gets a Sticky so we can knock out the end all results of peoples depressing starts and ends with threads that lead to self-questioning like hearing your best friends drama with his girlfriend or wife. Well done Dreamer. Reading it I can relate to at a point in my time starting out and even…
