Maya to Max scale issues
I'm using Maya 8 and Max 9 and am having problems getting things consistent scale wise between the two. So far, setting both to use centimeters and having the grid run at a centimeter each on both does indeed work. And that was fine until we began character work and realized that the clipping plane in Max is fubared and… -
[Portfolio] Dvolution/Jordan Ewing- Polycount Newb
Hey everyone, this is my first day and post on polycount (or any online art community for that matter). I'm currently attending school for game art & design and I have 9 months left in the program. My portfolio isn't remotely near the level I'd like it to be come graduation so that's where the good people of polycount come… -

UDK kickass props and weapons
A friend of mine said that it was about time that I stopped doing what I was doing, because it was not challenging enough for me now and plainly because it was not going to be good enough to impress anyone to hire me, and that instead I should grab the most harcore prop concepts I could find and give, and do my best to… -
Maya ShaderFX Custom SSS effect
Hey guys, Here's a video and an image to show of my ongoing SSS effect in ShaderFX for Maya. It uses a half-lambert like reversed lambert calculation which is modulated by a thickness mask to add the SSS translucency effect. Stored to a render target and blurred using a 9-tap blur. Using shadows to mask the effect as well.… -

My portfolio ready for critique...
As title suggests! OK, so I'm mentally prepared for my ego to get a bruising one way or another but also to take it on the chin and act on any advice. I graduate university in 2 weeks with a BA (Hons) 1st in Digital Arts and so will be applying for jobs. I already have but only received rejections. The type of positions I… -
Can fan art be used as a portfolio piece?
Hi all, First time here! I'm working on my first portfolio at the moment, and am planning to do a weapon. Is it fine to include fan-art of a weapon that has been used in a game, say for example a weapon from district 9, in your portfolio? I know this does not show originality. But if you're willing to take the concept and… -

[Unity] Green Stash
Hey there folks, Just thought I'd share my little stash of "green's" with you. Had the idea of building up a nice library of plants and all things green in no particular order. I randomly pick a plant to model. I also create 3 to 4 LOD's for every plant as well. The image below show's what I have done so far (9 plants,…
