What @BIGTIMEMASTER wrote is a great guideline. And figuring out how many triangles to have is just something you'll eventually learn in time and with work experience. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about your candles but I'd like to show you the candles I made recently and to give you an idea of my thought process to…
Well I am no lawyer, I am just saying I signed a piece of people that as far as I know, said I would not discuss the school in a negative manner. They may or may not try and sue me for it, and the contract may or may not hold up in court, either way I personally wouldn't risk it. I totally understand the right to free…
It's been a while since I've posed (About half a year) But I've been working on a small assortment of models. I'll post what I've been working on in this Thread. After I completed work on my Space Ship Combat game. I decided to dedicate some time every week to improve my 3D modeling skills. My program of choice was Blender…
Alright, I've got a few things: First: The site looks great - clean, simple, effective. And the models... I'll start with the one I have the biggest problem with - The shark It looks like a 30-60 minute speed model that someone slapped some poly paint on and called it finished... And I'm a little unsure if it's supposed to…
Don't stress about picking just one thing, realize you are picking which you will learn first. If you want to make a career out of this you'll need to get good enough at one thing in order to become employable, but when that gets old you start to branch out into other things. If this is going to be a life long career…
In all fairness and to be more precise my point is that this never gets talked about and when it does it usually gets treated the same, hard work is the only way and that is linear thinking. What is the requirement for hard work? Determination? Passion? Motivation? Talent? a mixture of all of them helps but what happens…
Having finished my MFA in May, I can offer this. School is a great experience, but that's all it is. It's not a job, but the effort to do well is job-like. Your work in school builds upon itself, so by the time you are done you have a whole lot of knowledge and student level work to..... ...build on for a professional…
Hi Jordon, I'm currently self-teaching myself, so I'm not a professional or anything. Perhaps it's a process of elimination when it comes to discovering yourself as a 3D Artist, I think. It was with me anyway. My method was to: 1. get myself on Artstation - This to me gave me an opportunity to see what artists in the…
Hope this is the right place to post :) I need help choosing a Graphics Card :thumbup: So i'm in the process of building my second computer, my first one i built about 8 years ago, and I never really used it as a home work station. More or less just to goof around and watch movies on. For art though, I've always had to…
Hello, I'm here to ask you professional artist here to help me out with some kind of problems I have lately. As far as I remember correctly I started with 3d modelling, especially for the source engine, 3 years ago. In that time I mainly did mods and edits to default models or modelling some small stuff myself. I actually…
