Re: Witch_WIP
Late Update woops! I've been in retopology hell since my last post: didn't have as much time as I used to, not to mention Maya deciding to delete whole objects and unable to undo ( so I lost some progress with that every now and then). Finally got through it and now I'm on to UV mapping! Gosh I'm so excited to start… -
Re: Gears of War - Cellar Environment
Oh geeze, where to start. After the computer broke down/repaired I had to move and finally am back at things. Became pretty upset with myself when I noticed how long I've been working on this project. I've booked 1 week off work next week and have the goal to be finished by the end of the month. Wine cupboard created,… -
Re: JonJone's Info Dump on Portfolios & Resumes!
THREAD NECRO! I did another TwitterBlast yesterday. Here's what I posted: TWITTERBLAST! ARTISTS TIP #1a! If your website URL looks like a bad hand in Scrabble (VWXYIIQ), it's not a good URL. ARTISTS TIP #1b! If your name is difficult to spell, it's okay to find a nickname that's spelled like it sounds. ARTISTS TIP #2! Your… -
Re: Specular AO in PBR (specifically metalness workflow)
hmmm.. I really wish i had marmoset on my laptop so i could test stuff out while discussing it. Ive just always been kind of disappointed with SSR, since sometimes it sort of bugs out, and especially in marmoset its very low quality in the viewport (maybe thats just my settings) and the cavity is too small (less than 1cm… -
Do tuts or not?
Hey fellow polycounter! It's maybe a dumb question but I have a hard time answering it myself :) I'm going to dive into environment art for my next personal work ; but I have concerns and doubts. -Since UE4 is out I was wondering if it's a good idea to try it, but my computer would probably collapse if I try to lauch it… -
Does game/toy/film companys hire you, when they see your portfolio? Without Apply
Hello, i have a very big question about the situation. I mean, what I know is, that everybody have to apply on a company with the private portfolio. But... For example: I make 3D Characters and work for freelance, or only make it as a hobby. (EXAMPLE). Someday i get a mail of a famous game company and they ask me if i… -
Re: Help with my Portfolio
Happy to help! Linkedin is crucial to the hiring process, and many application systems of AAA studios do reference it. You can also search for jobs on linkedin and apply directly through there.

Re: Moving to Cali! Cultural lessons please.
Yea this can be a little awkward if you don't know what's going on. Think of it like dolphins having sex... You bump into each other, everyone has fun but no one stops swimming, everyone leaves happy. You're actually sending a signal and depending on how much time you have in your encounter you're telling the person how… -
Re: How to check if legal software was used ?
To be fair there's only a handful of programs that a really worth buying/pirating, in the end we're fortunate enough as artists to have access to quite a wide range of free and open-source resources. If someone used a pirated copy of 3DSMax and they used a non-legit copy of Photoshop for example, what's stopping them from… -
Re: Request: Critique my UVW work
I'm not sure how you unwrapped your pieces or if you had trouble getting things to unwrap, but make sure to look up "Pelt Mapping". Autodesk has a great video tutorial about it, which I summarized for some of the artists I work with. unfortunately it didn't translate too well to HTML and I'm not in a hurry to code it from…
