Re: Advice on my accomplishments
Well the complaints about most other 3D schools are that they don't teach you enough, and the teachers tend to pass everyone as long as they pay the tuition, which results in a huge number of students who aren't ready but haven't been given honest assessments by their teachers or friends. If you are in the opposite… -

Re: Young Genie/Gypsy Girl Model
whenever a game artist says "polycount" a normal person might think he means polygon count, but this isn't the case. He actually means TRI count. No one has ever asked me how many faces my models have, only how many TRIs. I can see that you've tried to keep the geometry in quads, which isn't a bad idea. You can, however,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Serpentine19
Finished the Highpoly minus the asymmetrical details that will come closer to the baking stage. Retopo is coming along nicely, currently sitting at an estimated 35K-40K polycount. Unfortunately I have hit a bit of a roadblock with the hair though. I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing with it, I've tried curve based… -
Re: AD Maya 2011 - .tga issue.
I spoke to few people on Polycount University and they say that Maya always have problems previewing renders for alphas and what not. They may work sometimes but they maynot the rest of the times. It is best to preview the models in game editors / engines or toolbags. This person had problems with his model when he… -

Re: need feedback for portfolio
Dude, your post was up for 4 hours on a Sunday morning. How many people in the US do you think has even checked polycount during the time your post has been up? I personally have always got the most responses on posts made Monday through Friday so give it time before you claim an entire community sucks. What would you do… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
Sounds like my school, I have pretty much written my school off and try to do stuff on my own. Polycount, Eat3d, Gnomon, and 3Dmotive are all you need to succeed if you want to model for games. I was lucky to not have paid for a 4 year degree. I go to the first Community College in the country to have a SGD degree and we… -

Character roadmap?
Hey Polycount users, I've been using 3DS Max for about 1.5 - 2 years now. The people who taught me the program never set higher level challenges sadly to us. It was always stuff like boxes, trees and cans. Since every touching the software I always wanted to design characters, and this year I made a resolution to myself…
