Hello! This is my first post on polycount and I would like to share what I have been working on for the past semester. I am part of a game development course in Toronto and have been mostly focusing on modelling and texturing. Some things we learn involve 3DS Max, Substance Painter and Designer, Unreal Engine 4, and…
Hi Polycount! I'm Tim, a 15 yr old who models (with 3ds max) as a hobby. I've just finished the high and low poly models of the Mjolnir MkVI armour from Halo, but have been encountering problems. I unwrapped the low poly and used xNormal to generate a normal map, but when I applied the normal map to the low poly I kept…

The most important thing for your website is to emphasize your artwork, and remove anything else. Unless you are going for a game designer role, this would include your writing.

2D Visual Bible Over the past month I was given the assignment of doing a little IP creation, using my slightly rusty 2D skill to create a Visual Bible including at least one full character and environment render, as well as their design processes and any narrative and world development I felt was needed to communicate a…
There are some big things that stick out to me, especially when you compare it to the successful entry you posted. You should have used alpha planes for the chains, and made them smaller. The amount of polygons you spent on the chains could have really helped out her hair, fur, and shoulder pads. Fur and hair makes for…
Hello everyone! I'm new to the Polycount community – all the work being posted here is very inspiring! @icegodofhungary – I like the lighting in your scene, the more saturated tones fit well with the stylized approach you took. If I could give some feedback on just one thing, I think the purple particles coming from the…
First let me say Jessica that I've been watching you for a while off and on for about 2 years now and WOW you have really developed as a great artist! I'm really impressed. I do feel though that I should put my two cents in on the whole " should you paint in your lighting info into your diffuse" subject. Honestly, you can…
