I forget the sketchbooks exist too. I just middle-mouse click on Pimping and Previews, General Discussion, and Technical Talk.... The rest, I just don't even notice. And what's with "The 'Unofficial' Polycount Collaboration Project" thread, which I think hasn't had a real purpose in quite some time? I can certainly see the…
Hrmm...wasn't aware you could pack it so much. But does it depend on the engine/nature of the project you're working on that would warrant such a route? I don't see why one would (for standard portfolio purposes) pack so many maps into 1. (ex. the metalness workflow) As well I have updated the doc with the information from…
You have a lot of content, but it's all a bit random instead of a specialty. You would do better to focus this portfolio towards environment art since that's the bulk of your work, and your characters aren't really on the level of character artist. Seems like the idea behind a lot of your materials are; "make it as dirty…

Hey Polycount! I'll be using this space to chronicle my progress on this project over the next few weeks. The end goal is to have a UE4-ready character along the vein of Overwatch or Destiny. My initial design idea is a character who utilizes a whip as a way to initiate combat along with a shield that retracts from an arm…
Hello Polycount! So this is my first time posting on this site, so please be kind. I am a student studying Video Game Design and am currently in my last semester. We have 15 weeks to complete our project of putting our Portfolio together. My idea for my main scene is to have an old-looking General Store (complete with…
Really sorry if this is a stupid request or not appropriate for this forum. I have a .OBJ object which I'm looking for somebody to help me apply artwork to. It's a scan of an aircraft and I only need the really basic details putting on. I have decent pictures of the real life ac which the scan is generated from so I'm…
Thank you all for the suggestions and support. Most of you guys are right. I know "addiction" is a misnomer; It's less about games and more about my own issues that I escape from with games. Starcraft and Counter-Strike literally make up about 90% of gaming hours for me since I was a little latchkey child. For better or…
Not a bad start, but like Steppenwolf said, do research on tanks to see how they actually work/function before running off and modeling a concept on a fictional tank. I am looking at Feng Zhu's concept and there are way too many, "that would never happen" moments in there. The only thing that resembles a German tank in…
Hey Morgan, Changes are definitely helping! For the Explosion: - I think a higher level concern that you need to address is the directionality of this explosion. Is it on the ground? Are we seeing it from above? Right now it seems like a midair explosion as you would see with anti-aircraft fire -- but those are very…
