Need sculpting tips - Plants / Environmental
Okay me and my design / development partner have decided, to test the limits of the engine I am creating and at some point to show it off, our first game will be a first person experience game.

Tips for Work and Travel in Europe
So, I turned 30 years old! And I need some tips for life. But first, boring context explanation below: I began to think that I did not really live and started to have ideas. Have you ever felt this in your life? I'm basically a hobbyist but I've done some freelancing with game art for the local market, and I've received… -
How do you properly smooth a cone while preserving the sharp tip?
This may seem like a very simple question, but the issue is that the smoothing of the cone is smoothing the tip, which is not what I want it to do. I understand why it does smooth it like that, but I'm not sure what's the best way to prevent it from happening. I created three low-poly cones (38 Triangles each) and a… -
As a non-artist... do you have any tips for being a client?
So I'm looking for a company logo and am in the position of being shown lots of designs by different designers. I'm a programmer, not an artist, and trying to figure out why I do or don't like a certain design, or what I think might make it look better, is almost impossible!

Hopefully this is all properly in… -
Tips for modeling/unwrapping mass repetitive objects?
First and foremost, Hello! I've been lurking polycount for some time now and finally mustered up the courage to post! Okay, so I modeled a bridge for a project using Unreal with my class, and I figured it would be extremely easy to model and unwrap. So I created a few splines, made the rope from a spline, and had all of… -

First time here! Tips? Critiques?
Hi there! New member, just joined today! I'm a 3D rigger, but on the side I do 3D models when I have the time or when I need a break from my rigging. This was a piece I did with about 10 other artists, all students like me. We had a concept, but due to a deadline we scratched it and just put something together. I didn't do… -
Tim Sweeney - Redux - WIP
Hey, everybody. A quick preface to this model: In 2010, I finished a fun Unreal Tournament 3 skin of a 'roided out Epic Games founder and CEO, Tim Sweeney, as if he existed in that universe.
