Learning PBR
I recently stumbled across this introduction to PBR a topic which was entirely new to me, and I decided if this is where next gen games are going, best to learn it sooner rather than later.

Church Gateway WIP
Hey everyone, I just recently picked up the student version of Max, and I decided to do a project to get me started with it. I have to say I like Max so much more than Blender. Ok, it's going to be a simple environment piece, a Next-Gen church gateway. It's very simple so I thought It would make a good project for someone… -
White papers and other tech art resources (wiki)
Hi guys, I'm trying to get more into tech art myself and I think it would be great if we could update these 2 pages in the wiki: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Technical_Art http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Whitepapers (I cleaned up this page a bit yesterday) A lot of it is quite old so it would be good to get some next gen… -

Creating a good metal texture or: My metal is not metal enough!
Hello! I realize similar threads have been created quite a few times before. I read a few of them myself and learned quite a lot. Still, I find myself in a rut as I can't seem to get the game-y semi-realistic next-gen metal texture that I want. Perhaps it's a problem with texture definition, perhaps with the specular map.… -
Sci-Fi Fungi W.I.P.

I wanna thank my friend Hugo Buarque…
