Re: What do I need to learn to become a Enviroment Artist
Our wiki is a good place to start. Also see this page for a very high level overview of what's important. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/PortfolioContents#Environment_Artist.2C_Prop_Artist Be sure to dig around for more goodies... Composition for example. -
Re: JM StylizedTools - Custom tools for stylized materials in substance designer
I've just finished another example of a material I've made using the custom Stylized Nodes I've been working on in Designer. This one uses a wood surfacer node as well as an Edge Notching and Edge bashing node. -
Re: Need assistance with Arnold render settings (tips for Bloom, lighting, PBR rendering)
Learn about lighting, the way photographers shoot real products. There's a ton of info out there. Random example, searching "product lighting 3d" https://cgsociety.org/news/article/3498/studio-lighting-using-maya-and-arnold -
Re: Bohrok Invasion: Po-Koro Project
I would continue by matching all the colours and textures. The houses need to have the same colour as the ground, as adobe is part made of sand, for example. The mix of aztec style and the desert sand seems to work great too! -
Re: Complete Junior Portfolio Critique
Definitely, Daniel Thiger for instance and his materials is one example, and so I've recently been getting into a couple of his tuts to grow better. A lot of the time it's not a matter of inspiration but how to actually achieve that level, technically. -
Re: 3DS Max - Tileable Texture on Sphere

Re: Have been doing 3D sculpting for 2 months and would like some critique.
Marshkin I didn't really keep skeletal structure in mind when making the character, could you give me an example for what reference to use for this since I am unsure what kind of reference to use for it? -
Re: Looking for Portfolio Critiques!

Re: First time with a tablet looking to improve
Just keep working and keep in mind the fundamentals - the perspective, value, shadows and light, materials etc. And also pay attention to how things connect to each other in real life - take a look at the real knife, for example. -
Re: [CE3] Abandoned View
Before tweaking materials or working on the lighting you should get the scaling of the scene right :) The heater for example is way too small. Just compare it with the bricks. One brick stone has almost the same length as the heater.
