The
Muse in the Machine I'm
excited that Reallusion has presented this opportunity for the
community to learn from each other, grow as artists, & bring some
great characters to life! I have realized as a creative being that I
need boundaries, directives, and to set intentions to ever get
anything from imagination to…
Hello, My name is Alex Kolakowski and I am a Character Lead at EA currently. You may have noticed this posting on Artstation but I wanted to make the Polycount community aware of this role as well. Strong Sculpting and Zmodeller skills are a major plus for us. Texturing in Substance Painter and baking in Marmoset are also…
Check out the work from CGMA student Christen Smith , who shows us how he created an amazing modular set that he did Anthony Vaccaro’s Organic World Building class with CGMA. Intro Looking back, I believe my last article with 80.lv was almost 2 years ago on the Dead Space Cockpit, which in hindsight was at a very high…
Hey, no problem. It was one of the more pressing aspects of your folio imho, now its easier to focus on the nitty gritty. =) Your stuff feels like it isn't quite there and it's like... distressingly a little hard to pinpoint exactly why that is. On the plus side, that means you're really close! On the minus, that means its…
The real answer is that it happens with experience, but focusing on the things listed below will make sure your experience (time) isn't being wasted thinking that just doing the same shit over and over again will magically make you an artistic genius. Three keys to getting faster, faster - from my own experience:…
Hello Everyone, I have an Ugee G5, Not sure their history of making products but it looked solid and when i received it i was further impressed with the quality. I have only been using it for 2D painting and it has been great. i went to go sculpt with it for the first time since using my Wacom bamboo and it will not…
I cant really see the sillhouette of that so from this angle it more or less looks like a rectangle with a curved middle. I am not too sure as to the purpose or the polycount for this but lookig at what you have made I would say you would be better to throw more polygons at that to get a better sillhouette for the low res.…
I do use Sculptris for dirtmodelling, but there are shapes that just don't look right when sculpted - for these I need a good subdiv tool that doesn't cause pinching and folding everywhere, and is fast to work with. I had Silo crash on me once already, but that was entirely my fault (I hit subdiv too many times and ran out…
Oh shit, you guys remember this thread!? Man those were the days of delivering new pieces. I have not shown anything new in a long time, not because i slowed down but I have been reading tons of tech about games instead. Leaning into another direction for a while. I miss building things and because of that I took a spin in…
@fade1 Exactly,Autodesk had a headstart,so a lot of companies used their apps for a long time.Its recently ppl,as well as companies are begining to see the value and resourcefulness of opensource apps like Blender. I too had to battle with the decision to switch because when u think of how long u have known and used a…
