***ATTENTION*** this position has been filled, the job was assigned to a PolyCount member. Thank you for your applications!!! I am sorry if I did not personally respond to you but we are very busy at Martian Arctic and I did not have time to reply to everyone. Please note that I will be looking for 3D modellers to create…
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been lurking around the whole time. I've recently found out the studio I'm at is getting shut down and I will be out of a job next Friday, so I am on the job hunt again! I've decided to update my portfolio and work on some projects in the meantime and would love…
Thanks for the link. Some of the stuff there is what I've been following, such as Manjiana's tutorial on baking a hair cap. :) Thanks to that, I have an ID and Root map. The only thing I don't have, which looks to be essential, is the flow map. I'm a little unsure about that one though. Regarding the masks/ids - I'm a…
I have always worked for kind of mid size studios 50 employee maybe + contractors so not sure what really big AAA is doing. Perhaps they all work in style of Chaplin in Modern times . I have always feared to end up in something like that. I recall we tried a sort of deep collaboration style with super specialized people…

Right now it looks a bit stiff/robotic to me. * The upper arms look very thin right now. * From my view, the hands in the concept are more claw-like and quite large. You…
Have an idea of what you want to make. Also, don't be afraid to model ANYTHING. I feel like the above advice would have helped me greatly when I first started. Newcomers might think 3D modeling is about cutting corners, but that's actually the fastest way to limiting any growth or improvement. I would start modeling…
Most instances it's just pretentious BS about rotoscope or mocap being cheating. Even Glen Keane uses reference, himself to be specific. There're plenty of stories of him posing parts of his body, or making expressions, as he sketch over animators' shots during dailies. He doesn't use full video or photo references simply…
@GhostDetector - Am tweaking the texture to better fit with the Techies colour. Will show the updated version once I've added in some more details such as rust and completed the masks, thanks for the feedback! @Downlimit - While the jetpack is cool, I feel for the model in question to go for the Da Vinci style wings, seems…
