Hi there everyone! This is my first post on polycount (although I have been visiting for a while now)! I am a student studying computer games design at Staffordhire University and have been trying hard to develop my 3D skills (particularly in zbrush). Here is a dragon I have been working on, I did all of the work in zbrush…
Hello Polycount community, I'm pretty new to the forums and world of 3D. Especially unwrapping and texturing :) I was practicing unwrapping of different shapes and came across a problem. I've used planar map for the top and bottom so that is pretty easy, then I tried using cylindrical projection which I thought would work…
Hello Polycount! I am a long time spectator only of the site, but i finally made it to make a thread here for my stuff. I hope I can get some feedback from you guys and also give if needed. So here is my latest 3d work: Spacegirl is a collaboration project with Cordero. He did the texturing…
No thread on this? Kickstarter Page. Maybe it's because there's that one other 3D scan ref build going around, but the Kickstarter's only got a few days left and it's... not looking too promising honestly, which is a shame because the app looks like it could be pretty good. You can look at a mockup over on the…
I'd like to try my hand at digitally recreating some Greek sculptures for practice, but am a little stumped as to the best way to go about it When we would work with models in sculpting class, the students were encouraged to get up and check out the model from various angles to get a good sense of the form. Not really sure…
Hey there! I'm a 3rd year Games Design Student at Sheffield Hallam Uni in England. Pretty new to Polycount but have some interesting projects this year and will hopefully be producing some good work so I thought I'd share here. Please go ahead and crit! Thankyou for lookin :) Firstly something I'm currently working on;…
I don't think that great work gets lost, at least not for long? Even a good singer or a good painter has to start from his hometown's square and get the locals to appreciate him, before jumping to the next towns / countries / regions. Why would 3d be any different? My biggest frustration was not having any connections in…
First off welcome to the coolest club in the castle. The biggest and most important thing you need to learn is how to teach yourself, with the rapidly changing nature of 3D work and video games a lot of what they will teach you in college will be antiquated, as well, knowing how to teach yourself will be a necessity once…
So, I actually really like the idea of a monthly anatomy challenge. That's a broad enough topic that I'm curious if it'd be better as its own monthly challenge rather than folded into the monthly character challenge, especially if it were to dip into animal anatomy as well. We seem to be discussing these two separate kinds…
I just heard about it. Almost a year after his death :( No word can express my sadness. He was truely inspirational, I remember him back in the early Polycount/Quake world days and I saved every one of his articles on Loony Games and also Gamasutra magazines. Also spent countless hours dissecting his Quake 2 and Quake 3…
