Him "checking" how much work you do is irrelevant. The point of estimating how long the task will take, and deciding an hourly rate which you think you are worth is so you can give him a quote on for how much you will charge for the task. Estimated hours * hourly rate = cost per task. Your hourly rate will be decided by…
Whoa, you dudes are throwing counts around like its on sale! I probably wouldn't be the best to answer a "correct" poly count for a "next-gen" vehicle. Because the only systems I've professionally developed for are the Wii and PS2. But... Asking for a poly count is like eating cereal with a fork. You said you're aiming for…
Hi everyone, We're currently building a pool of 3D Environment artists for an upcoming project and ongoing work after that. If you're looking for a stable, long-term studio to collaborate with, this could be a great fit. Rates are negotiable based on experience and quality of work.

Hello Polycount, brilliant community here. Long time lurker, first time poster. I have recently finished a project for a university assignment and part of the task is to get some feedback from other artists and industry level folks. It isn't my best work but after a couple of months on and off this project, while working…
Hi! I'm learning animation and I was working on this walk with the blender Rain character. I'm still learning and I got the Animator's Survival Kit Book and used the walk cycle page to help make this. I know it still needs more work and I'm here to get feedback on what improvements I need to make. Thank you!…
IMO, I think it's even a stretch to say that a mastery of organic materials =/= mastery of environment assets. There was a great thread last year that talked about how to design hard surface props by studying how practical engineering works. http://polycount.com/discussion/190796/studying-machinery-for-hard-surface-art Of…

tl;dr: Compare fast and slow walks with video reference. Get up and compare the walks for yourself too, notice how your body doesn't move the same way in a fast walk vs a slow walk, especially regarding weight distribution. **************** Getting better. Don't worry too much about the treadmill just now, it's basically a…
A Guards designation was awarded to units who distinguished themselves in combat. These battle-hardened veterans were the elite of the Soviet forces and more than a match for anything that the Nazis could muster. The first Guards title was awarded to two rifle divisions (107th and 120th) for destroying the German salient…
I saw the demo of this and it was by far the coolest thing at the show. What the article doesn't talk too much about is that all the artwork in the game is procedural. Creatures have skeletons and body part attachements that determine their animations and meshes, which give you procedural texturing options to choose from.…
