Re: My portfolio is weak, send help please
I second this, that orc ass needs saving otherwise nobody will hire you. Seriously though, you're not off to a bad start but these aren't portfolio level works as much as they are studies. Portfolio work should be comparable to the companies you aspire to work for. Avoid anything called "WIP" in your portfolio section.… -
Re: Polycount Colour Survey
I'm very fearful. I try to make posts that don't offend people or stir up backlash in some way. This is why I kept the OP short and discrete. You're right, that there's more to color and there are other cartoons as well. But what if someone waltzed in here and blasted me because "I didn't pick enough cartoons from a… -
Re: Advanced Rendering
This is mostly about lighting. Materials need to be tweaked to support the lighting and rendering, but mostly you need to learn how to light a scene. We have some good resources here about lighting http://wiki.polycount.net/CategoryLighting The help file in Max is a good place to start, for scenes like your examples above.… -
Re: Why to choose Faces or Tris for modeling? Pros vs Cons?
Zbrush has a unusual 3d context. It's not displaying polygons like any other program. So it complains because of that. The problem with any polygon that isn't a tri is that you have to convert to a triangle to display it. This doesn't matter if the polygon is planar but if you have a non-planar polygon it can have several… -

Re: guns, lots of guns
I wasnt trying to say you were wrong, because you arent. Your example was quite clearly an observational mistake on my part, I just thought that your particular examples warranted further discussion. I wasn't dismissing the crit. Also, I think that at least some of the 'flat spec' crits are down to the lighting setup in… -

Re: What environment helps get you a job?
Hi! I think in end the execution is what matters, less the setting. That said, I can see how the setting affects what techniques you can showcase. So when you're planning a project, you could think about what techniques you want to show/ what would you like to work on. For example: Catacombs - modular kit, photogrammetry,… -
EA Mythic - 2D/UI Artist & Tech Artist/Rigger
EA Mythic, home of a multitude of Polycounters, is looking for two artists. We're flexible enough to look at both experienced candidates, and folks new to the industry. These are potentially both great entry-level positions if you're looking to "get your foot in the door" (although we prefer experienced, technically… -
